Meaning of song: Putin recently received a tractor from Lukashenko for his birthday. In short, Mother Russia loves a moron - Putin - a little crocodile psychopath, who threatens armageddon, for which the little man goes to war. That's roughly how Let3 see it lyrically, the only ones on the Croatian scene who sang in a symbolic and sarcastic way about Russian aggression, which is shaping the fate of Europe. Recently, in one of the interviews, when they appeared in a TV studio with rockets with "Lenin" written on them, they said that Putin is "an example of a braggart who thinks the planet is his toy." The main singer symbolizes Stalin, while the bald man with the inscription "Ninle" is a symbol of Lenin (Nin - le = Le - nin).

People want a commercial song with shallow lyrics and easily digestible music for wide audiences. This is not that kind of thing. This is not what people want to hear but what people need to hear. This is an artistic masterpiece. This is an opera (think Bohemian Rhapsody melos). It doesn't try to appeal to the to masses, it is painting you a picture, it is conveying a message. It talks about a war, that's why it's messy but beautifully orchestrated. Its almost permanent crescendo, the camera work and lighting conveys the chaos of war and what the insanity and reality of war is while its lyrics speak about the absurdity of it. The absurdity and irony is also apparent in the costumes and choreography which immediately tells you that we've already been trough this. The world already knows this, but we're still going or are in another one as if we haven't learnt anything from the history. Also the costume he wears is supposed to show you the real face of the person capable of starting a war. It is showing how that psychopath looks if we could see his psyche and his mind like we can see his nice Italian suit when we look at him. It's an eyeopening song that is just point out the obvious. And they are not in it to win, I personally think they just want to prove the absurdity of todays humanity because if they loose which they said they will it means people can't see the obvious even when you point it out clearly, and it shows why we are at the place we are today and even today we can't understand the obvious so we can expect the same tragic things in the future. A nicely groomed psychopath commanding everyone to go to war and the people (the audience) not understanding what he is and blindly following. They rip off the clothes and he's shiny inside meaning he's showing you the reality, he has good intention. As opposed to be in an Italian suit from the outside but rotten from the inside. He is giving you a clear vision, he's essentially giving you a Eurovision. An absolute masterpiece!

You have to see it from their perspective: they don't care about Eurosong or who will like them or hate them. They use artistic expression to invoke questions in people. Now they want to make fun of Putin and his military regime. That repetitive part of the song is so they can march and salute like nazis which they twist in a gag of driving tractors. And that is a part that is important to them as artists. They are not interested in money, fame or whatever Eurosong can give them in return for a "nice & clean performance". They are real men in fashion drag queen uniforms made by designers. This a reminder that every dictator employed the most excellent available designer of their time to create uniforms for his army. Actually, these guys are on the scene from the late 70s. But for the last 20 years, their hits hit the top 5 every time.

There's a lot of contrast in this song. You have simplicity, which, I have no doubt, is a deliberate choice; it feels like a children's song and the lyrics are about a kid who thinks that war is a game and his mom loves him so much that she supports him in launching a war. And opposed to this is the part of song which is chaos, the real world in which war is actually mayhem and tragedy and incites reptilian/crocodile behavior. It's rather intelligent on many levels.

Simple...Orwell 's "1984"...

Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday present to Putin. In the song Putin is described as a "vile little psychopath", the vocalist represents Stalin, and the guy with rockets has NINLE on his forhead (wordplay:Nin-Le=Lenin). Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia, and crocodile is a drug popular in Russia that makes people act like zombies. The meaning of the lyrics is kinda obvious now: "Mama bought a tractor" "Mama (meaning Russia) loved a moron (meaning Putin)" "That little psychopath (W-w-war, war) Little, vicious psychopath (W-w-war, war) Crocodile psychopath (W-w-war, war) Mama, I'm going to war" The whole thing is trolling Putin level 100000.

Of course not and wouldn't even come into the discussion but in a televote semifinal, I wouldn't dismiss qualification prospects. It's bright, it's lively and staging will be batshit crazy. The Croatian public loved it.( It won Dora in a relative landslide) so why not Europe.....we shall see.......or will we? Can the EBU allow lyrical content like this, I'm not so sure.....Georgia 2009 seemed a lot more subtle than this and was excluded. Personally I hope we see this in Liverpool. It will definitely be a wakey, wakey moment! 😊😊👏

It is important to remember - we love the Russian people, their culture, tradition, art, literature, but we do not like their politicians, communism and war. Croatia does not only mock those who incite war, but also our Western civilization. If we haven't already made it to the finals with top-notch vocals and songs that were often better than the winning ones, now we're sending a parody/satire. In any case - they will DEFINITELY be noticed!😂 The complete opposite of those who want to look beautiful, well-dressed, young and sexy on stage.

Crocodil drugs (also known as Krokodil, the Russian for crocodile) is the street name of desomorphine, a pain-killing drug derived from codeine with ten times the strength of morphine.

As usual, Tom, with such entries, you see the point, you saw potential in Moldova 2022 and i agreed on it, you see it now, televote will do this so great, really can be like moldova 2022 I mean, they were not allowed to bring tractor to stage but they arrived on it, also they already have 1 million views and only 3 000 dislikes to 10 000 likes which is great, i thought more eurofans will go and try dislike it, but they didnt

Artists react to war. Before WWII Charlie Chaplin made movie. The Great Dictator. Look at Globe Scene, with sensitive music. This is at the same track but more up to 21st cent . It is part of future anti-war rock opera. Every scene has several meanings. Eurovision is perfect platform for artists.

Deep explanation of the song: "Mama kupila traktora🚜 ŠČ" "Mother bought a tractor🚜 Щ" (Mother = Mother Russia) (Lukashenko gifting a tractor to Putin for his 70th birthday, also Belarus is a popular tractor in Belarus which means that 🇷🇺 bought 🇧🇾) The Cyrillic letter Shcha Щ was derived from the Glagolitic (Croatian script) letter Shta Ⱋ. Also the sum of letters Š and Č gives Z (25+4=29) in Croatian alphabet, and Z is a military symbol used by Russians to mark their military vehicles in Ukraine. "Trajna-nina armagedon nona" (Trajna-nina - Permanent sleep in Croatian) "Trayna-nina armageddon granny" (Nuclear armageddon threat) (Since mother is Russia that makes grandmother USSR) "Mama ljubila morona ...ŠČ" "Mother was kissing a moron ...Щ" (Mother Russia electing a moron (Putin) to be president) "Whole alphabet in reverse: Ž(Ж/Ⰶ), Z(З/Ⰷ), V(В/Ⰲ), U(У/Ⱆ), T(Т/Ⱅ), Š(Ш/Ⱎ), S(С/Ⱄ), R(Р/Ⱃ), P(П/Ⱂ), O(О/Ⱁ), Nj(Њ/Ⱀⰺ), N(Н/Ⱀ), M(М/Ⰿ), Lj(Љ/Ⰾⰺ), L(Л/Ⰾ), K(К/Ⰽ), J(Й/Ⰺ), I(И/Ⰻ), H(Х/Ⱈ), G(Г/Ⰳ), F(Ф/Ⱇ), E(Е/Ⰵ), Đ(Ђ/Ⰼ), Dž(Џ/Ⰴⰶ), D(Д/Ⰴ), Ć(Ћ/Ⱋ), Č(Ч/Ⱍ), C(Ц/Ⱌ), B(Б/Ⰱ), A(А/Ⰰ)" The reverse part of the song represents going back in time and repeating the same mistakes from history (not learning from historical events). "Mama, mama, mama ja se idem igrat" "Mom, mom, mom I'm going to personate/roleplay" (Putin is going to personate or roleplay as Lenin and/or Stalin) "MAMA, IDEM U RAT!" "MOM, I'M GOING TO WAR!"🇺🇦 "Onaj mali psihopat" "That little psychopath"(Putin) "Mali podli psihopat" "Little vile psychopath"(Putin) "Krokodilski psihopat" "Crocodilian psychopath"(Putin) (Crocodilian as in enormous/huge/massive, basically the complete opposite of little) (Krokodil is also a drug in Russia stronger than heroin) (Also also reference to Boris Johnson calling Putin a crocodile 🐊) Psychopath is a person affected by chronic mental disorder with abnormal or violent social behavior. Meanwhile vocals in the background: "Mama ja idem u rat, rat, rat, rat" "Mom I'm going to war, war, war, war" "MAMA, IDEM U RAT!" "MOM, I'M GOING TO WAR!"🇺🇦 Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷

you really reched the point!"!Bravoo!!

Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday gift for Putin. In the song, Putin is described as "little vile psychopath". The vocalist represents The great dictator while other guy has written on his head NJINLE (word game: LENIN). Mother ŠČ is a metaphor for mother Russia because it represents their letter щ. Johnson once referred to Putin calling him a crocodile but also it is a drug popular in Russia that makes people behave like zombies.

I hear that some are calling the song out for its political messages. As it seems to me, everyone sees something different in a song, passes it through their filters of understanding and tries to find some hidden meaning within their experiences and knowledge. This only confirms the artistic value that Let 3 has shown again and again in its original, recognizable and consistent way. The fact is that they did not say anything specifically in the song or called someone/something names, condemned, etc., and this is a clear proof that the song is not political. Not a single word in the song has a political overtone, but it managed to tickle people's imagination and their need to understand the message, which in my opinion is already a sufficient indicator of artistic success. But with works of art, the meaning always remains a secret because the goal of art is for the person who consumes it to experience it in his own and only his own way. So realistically, we cannot condemn a song for its political content because it is only the opinion and interpretation of some individuals, and not a real fact.

Your analysis is _Spot On._ The only people who think this is "too politicial" are the same people who think _their country_ is being _directly attacked_ by Let 3 with this song. But there's nothing _in_ this song that's direct. Which just goes to show that all of the people getting Butthurt over this song are themselves supporters of Vile Little Psychopaths.

I think it was a no brainer that they swept the vote at DORA, because nothing else in that dire NF apart from them even stood out. So its no wonder that people voted for something interesting. Let 3 is known to have a provocative and a "prankster like" performances ever since they existed as a band. That´s their niche whenever they go live. They are not being like this just for ESC. I have the same hopes as you that they will do their best to not make this look like a "taking a piss" thing, because that is definitely not their intention. These guys genuinely applied for the competition because they wanna have fun. There is no "John Lydon" mentality behind their intentions. That is why I dislike when any vocal anti-ESC people latch on to entries like this, falsely thinking that this was made with an intention to mock the contest just because it has a wacky appearance.

Krokodil is an infamous horrific russian drug that zombifies the user to a point that his flesh starts to rot and fall of. (Z)

Tractor is a reference to Lukashenko's birthday present to Putin. In the song Putin is described as a "vile little psychopath", the vocalist represents Stalin, and the guy with rockets has NINLE on his forhead (wordplay:Nin-Le=Lenin). Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia, and crocodile is a drug popular in Russia that makes people act like zombies. The meaning of the lyrics is kinda obvious now: "Mama (meaning Russia) loved a moron (meaning Putin)" "That little psychopath (W-w-war, war) Little, vicious psychopath (W-w-war, war) Crocodile psychopath (W-w-war, war) Mama, I'm going to war" The whole thing is trolling Putin level 10000000. Also, I would bring your attention to the fact that band members are naked in the end, with roses sticking out of their rear parts ;

Mama = Motherland (Mother Russia) ŠČ = Slavic/Russian alphabet letter representation ("Z" reference) Tractor: Putin got one for his 70th from Lukashenko, president of Belarus, also a reference to any army vehicle Moron = Putin/Dictator Crocodile Psychopath: Boris Johnson compared Putin to a crocodile, also a "zombie" street drug reportedly widely used in Russia and "crocodile tears" Mama loved/supported a moron, now he is waging war. Lead singer has Stalin mustache (also a reference to dictators in general) and the one with missiles, dressed like Rasputin, has Lenin written on his forehead. Drag military outfits - taunting Putin (and all conservatives) for his views of LGBTQ+ community Nothing about this song or the performance is accidental, it has a strong anti-war message. Brilliant!

Tractor because it was a present from lukashenko to putin for his 70 birthday

In ex Yu was a very popular Belarusian-made tractor. That's how it was called: "Belarus". For us almost "boomers" (and this group also includes performers), this is the first and very strong association. Only after that the gift to Putin and the fact that Lukashenko was a tractor driver by profession.

It's foolish of you to ignore the fact that Serbia is pro Russia oriented and has always been- I'm not saying all Serbs are like that, specially the normal, informed people who understand how politics work. The fact is that Serbia is trying to stay 'neutral' towards Russia, but the rest of the Europe is not diggin' it, so to say Cro was pro Hitler and that is the reason you find the song terrible, girl, you need to understand the history a bit better to be that one-sided (and I'm not defending ustashe nor am I liking the partizans, It was a terrible time to live in). Anyway, ignorance and most of all- fear has always turned people under the influence of evil dictators in the history and I'm sorry it is happening again, not only to Ukraine, which is horrible, but to normal people in Russia...

The song is very catchy in Croatian. It's simple and repetitive and it won't leave you in peace. But also, this song is actually a part of anti-war rock-opera piece one of members is writing. It's not supposed to be "easy to listen" because it's theatre music not pop music. Bohemian rhapsody is also not a pop piece. It all boils down whether to you understand the performance or not. I personally think it's genius and brave, and I voted for it on Dora. If another country had sent this song, it would've been brave and eccentric, but since it's Croatia, it's apparently embarrassing and should be disqualified.

One word: Verka!

ŠČ no1 ❤️👏👏👏🇽🇰

Tractor is reference to Lukachenko's bithday present to Putin , in song Putin is described as " little psychopat" The vocalist represent Staljin an the guy with rockets has NINLE on his forehead (word play NIN LE - LENJIN).

Aren't they charming? 😁 And yet politically engaged? 👍

Musically it's a car crash they need to clean it up I really Don't hate it tho having fun while projecting a serious message is actually Really clever

It's "Mama bought a tractor" - Mama Russia bought Belarus (also brand of tractor) on their side. That bold guy with writing on a forehead says NJINLE, or LENJIN. Little psychopath, well, we know who he is. That disonace part when all of them falls on their back is Europe. Crocodile, he attacks everything in his reach. Let3 are allways provocative, sarcastic, over the top. But they are allways right...

Song have a message for mama rusia putin

that is Queens rhapsody :)) for war

It has catchy parts but they need a competent producer for a revamp. I wish Thomas G:son got involved the way he did with Georgia's 2016 Midnight Gold.
