'In 1997 chart shattering Slovakian Eurodance duo DJ Crazy Times and Ms. Biljana Electronica dared ask a question that puzzles minds to this day...'
All of the dream, how does it mean? 🤔
Yeah, yeah. I get it. "Women are my favorite guy". "How does it mean". Haha. It's funny that they don't speak their second language perfectly.
But I do think that Americans lack a lot of context here. DJ Crazy Times shouting "World Peace" and "Stop the War" isn't just random non sequitors. Yeah, he grew up in East Germany, but DJ Crazy Times parents are Croatian. The original Ms Biljana Electronic (Aleksandra Jovanovic) is Serbian. The war they're talking about is the at the time ongoing war in former Yugoslavia.
Yeah, as a Slovenia based duo, they weren't like in the heat of it, since Slovenia was the only part of Yugoslavia that broke away peacefully, but both had relatives who were in an active war zone and in some cases on different sides of that war. "Planet of the Bass" was meant as a slice of relief during a very though time, and I feel people are kind of minimizing the message just because they were raised behind the iron curtain in cultures where knowledge of english wasn't really a priority at that time. It's also not like they were these serious, super deep, tortured artists. They made silly eurodance and they were aware of that fact. A lot of the comedy on that song is 100% intentional.
Idk. I wish they would clarify this for people who don't know, but I know why it's been hard for the media to reach out to the both of them in light of their songs new wave of popularity. Iirc DJ Crazy Time is still part of that vegan celibate cult thing that he joined in 2007, and Aleksandra Jovanovic has kind of stayed out of the media light after the 90s. I can't blame her though. The tabloid papers kind of hounded her after her alleged affair with Tony Blair. I hope she's doing well.
