like a hammer made of drugs

as described in the guardian -

It’s like watching the opening titles to David The Gnome after being concussed with a giant hammer made of drugs. It’s got trumpets in it. People shout. A nonplussed woman wobbles past on a unicycle at one point

and one of those few songs surely where people at work will say after the event, that moldova, you liked that didn't you. if only eurovision was more like this....




you can listen to more zdob și zdub like this here. music that makes me want to drink a lot and fall about!

I think it appealed to the men in the audience for some reason. Husband liked it a lot. Made me think of Moldovan Nutty Boys.

pure class - really there should be a nuttiness test that all acts have to pass before being allowed through

swiss said...

only if the nuttiness test excluded anyone that sounded like thy were a refugee from the x factor.

which would mean all the eatern european entries might end up sounding like gogol bordello or the soundtrack from an emir kusturica film and all the scanfinavians would look like lordi. and germany's song would be done by rammstein! i wouldn't complain.

but i still can't explain jedward tho...

and here was me secretly hoping you were going to tell me the pointy hats were some sort of moldovan tradition and i could purchase them at moldovapointyhat.com!
