so WHAT is croatia doing on esc???
ok i see lots of people not understanding the song so lemme explain!
1) the band is called let 3 and theyre a leftist band from rijeka, croatia. pro-women rights, pro-lgbtq rights, anti-catholic church, etc. as you can see, this song featuring men in makeup and dresses has made lots of conservative croats very angry.
2) croatia has gone through the same situation as in ukraine but in 90es, though without help of foreign countries. it’s no surprise that they chose to portray song about ridiculousness of war and destruction of it. its something very fresh in croatian history and minds of people. ive seen people saying its “making fun” of ukraine situation when its the very opposite thing. the entire band lived through war in croatia and knows what its like.
3) the song is very anti-war, and was not written for esc - its written as a piece of anti-war rock opera. thats why its performance is theatrical and flashy. its supposed to be performed in theatre.
4) meaning of the song:
- at first the song seems v nonsensical and silly, but its actually a really layered song with a strong anti-war, anti-fascist message.
- centerpiece of the song is tractor. thats bc belarus is a manufacturer of tractors AND a brand of tractor; and as well, last year, lukashenko gifted a tractor to putin for his birthday to ‘sew new future’. tractor in the song refers to belarus, so when you hear the lyrics “mom bought a tractor”, it refers to “russia bought belarus”. similarly, “armageddon nona” means “armageddon grandmother”, aka, soviet union.
- “mom loved a moron” is obviously about putin.
- Š is 25th letter of croatian alphabet and Č is 4th. together they make 29th letter - letter Z, the symbol of russian occupators.
- the guy holding the nukes has NJINLE written on his forehead, which in “šatrovački” reads as lenjin.
- theyre dressed as 4 bringers of armageddon - war, plague, death, and hunger.
p.s. if the singing sounded kinda wonky in the first semi-finals... thats bc the main singer caught a cold lmao.
anyway yes consider voting croatia in GF ;P
