How much madness can you stuff into a mere three minutes? Well, the Moldovans are about to find out...
Zdob si Zdub - So Lucky (Moldova 2011)
This song is perhaps the musical equivalent of being trapped in a fun house together with Moldova's own Red Hot Chili Peppers.
You just have no idea what they're about to do next and I love it. I love the crazy hats. I love the broken lyrics. (Does anyone have a clue what their song is really about?) I love the girl on the unicycle and the fact that she doesn't once play her silly flute.
Above all I love the background projections, where the Tim Burton-esque witches go wild all over the place, flying in all possible directions.
And I love the fact that this song is moonstruck delirium version of Petula Clark's Don't Sleep In The Subway considering the way it is constructed, turning the dynamics upside down.
In a year where a few entries too many just aim to please, something looney is bound to end up among my faourites.
My grade: 4 / 5
