This is antiwar protest song and very audacious mockery of Vladimir Putin that is called "little vile psychopath" and all brutal dictators that are thinking whole world is their toy to play. "Mama ŠČ" is reference to Russia since this country has been regarded as the "mother" by Russians, and ŠČ is letter from the Russian alphabet. "Tractor" in this song is direct alusion to the Belarus Presudent Lukašenko's actual birthday gift to Putin! So this should be understood as "Mama bought tractor" = Russia has put control over Belarus, then "Mama loved moron" = Russia loved Putin - "little vile psychopath"... Let 3 is very experimental art punk band from Croatia that is active for 30 years and it is known for their provocative but inteligent texts and performances, they're also making theatre performances... Their dresses at the stage are representation of styled military uniforms in combination with drag queen outfit under (provocation to Putin that doesn't like LGBQT people). At the end fake moustaches are their standard outfit while bold man has inscribed ad his forehead "NJINLE" (NJIN + LE = LENJIN), another reference to the Russia, and rockets are reporesentation of constant Russian threatening with usage of nukes! Greetings from Croatia!

Vote for šč!! ♥️🥰

it's nice to see young people of different nationalities realizing that the time and world we live in is much more than love songs... bullets hurt more than cupid's arrows! to ignore the war and pretend that nothing is happening is selfishness and madness... thank you, guys!

A brilliant entry! You are right, nothing about this song or the performance is accidental or a joke, it is a full package with a strong anti-war message. There are many layers to unwrap. Whatever the result, this will be a great show!

This song is pure chaotic energy and I am here for it

You are all lovely..and welcome to Croatia any time! ŠČ!😁

ŠČ is on my spotify training list❤️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥 🚜🚜🚜 #ŠŠŠŠČČČ Greetings from Cro 🤗🇭🇷 Pls vote for Let 3 ❤️ Punk Rock is not dead 🤘

You're all so lovely! ❤🧡💛

I love Balkan 80s rock, so Let3 was right up my alley, but after learning the backstory and meaning of the protest performance and all the layered metaphors and references against war and insane dictators, it's become even more of a favorite. I also completely agree, Croatia keeps getting done dirty. It is frustrating seeing so many complain about the Balkans doing things their way and not presenting itself with an international sound, only to then complain when they withdraw because no one is voting for them, because they complain "well no one understands it." I also really hate when people say songs are "just noise", whenever they personally don't like or understand something. I always will view Eurovision as a cultural exchange, of languages, native instruments and harmonisations, regional languages ((Terra (Galician), Fulenn (Breton)) and dance, cultural traditions, singing styles like white noise (Tulia), chanting (Blanca), etc. What's the point if non-English artists are not respected or have to water down their genre. I sometimes really wish I could vote... because I want to hear songs with important social commentaries, and want to hear your language and folkore, and want more than love songs and slayyyy bops. It worries me that the Balkans are slowly leaving, yet I'm over here loving their entries' the most. Lastly, loosely related, I am so happy people liked Go_A, and I hope they never drift from Ukrainian folk.

Croatia is not the Balkans and it will never be, Croatia is a Mediterranean country, study the geography. The term Croatia as a country in the Balkans originates from the Greater Serbian idea of conquering the Croatian territory, and therefore this term is implemented by the ruling party and, to a large extent, by the media. Croatia is a Central European, Mediterranean country, always has been and always will be. It is a painful fact that many do not want to admit today.

I can imagine, that the chaotic part in the song represents armageddon itself. In the case of nuclear war, everything is destroyed in a few seconds. All of it. People, as well as all kind of art. In their performance, it is demonstrated with a mix of very different music styles accentuated with a Croatian alphabet and visualized through the fast rotation of very different pictures. Strong message!

12 point from me! SUPERB PERFORMANCE. ❤IT! Congratulations 🎊🇭🇷. Europe, open your eyes, it is EuroVISION, don't go blind to the darkness. BRAVO LET 3

It is an anti-war opera, it was not written for Eurovision. It is the work of music experts who criticize the state of the world through their songs. they write songs for musicals and movies. It has a deep message. The grotesque scenography imitates propaganda and the costume design imitates dictatorial homophobia. Mama šč refers to Mother Russia. The rest is pretty clear. chaos in music, because war is chaos. ШЧ

The comparison that LET 3 are for Putin or against... is the same as the comparison of whether they think that BORAT (Sacha Baron Cohen) makes the country of Kazakhstan laugh... or makes people who think that Kazakhstan is really like that laugh.

look at them just as "musical Monty Python from Croatia"... and you will better understand what to expect from Let 3

What surprises me most about reactions to this performance is that most people don’t know what satire is and that they don’t see the cultural reference to punk. This is pure camp punk satire and I’m so here for it!

it is an anti war song. It practically calls anyone wanting a war - a moron and a psychopath. . The staging, visuals are showing the absurdity of such people. Also, The music in the beggining it reminds of a military march and later on it is like a chaos - like every war is actually a chaos - so it is reflected in the music also. This song actually calls for peace and shows the absurdity of war and dictators (people can say it's about Putin, but I find it relatable to any war or any dictator in anytime and any place in this world).

I love it. It made me laugh and I also appreciate the serious anti-war message!

MASTERPEACE! ŠČ!

song is actually catchy i cant get it out of my head for days now and i even heared my 66 year old neighbour ( and older people here hate such kind of perfomarnce, for them is perversion, disggusting etc) while i was drinking coffee on my balcony one morning, how he is singing mama šč mama šč, mama šč and syco part.. so yeah it is catchy..and knowing let 3, this performance is nothing comparing to what we usualy see from them... i honestly stoped tracking eurovision 15 years ago, to me it become so boring, every song are same, love sick songs, sad songs, and when croatia was sending such songs or total bullshit songs like moja stikla i felt so lame, like we are nation of love sick lost teens or total morons, this have a message, have layers, have hidding meaning, have perfromance.. moja stikla, i did not know is song more stupid or severina had nothing better to do to just jumping around with let 3 in the background. they actually were on euruvision when severina was performing ,they were her back vocals and dancers...

Every masterpiece has a much deeper meaning. This is not a song for every ear or every mind. At first glance it looks stupid, but everything, everything has a hidden meaning: the singer's clothes symbolize a general whose clothes and conscience are stained with the blood of the victims; a singer in a black mantle-a church that supports the war, that's why he has 2 rockets in his hands. The sound and text are reminiscent of a children's song - the dictator is like a child who perceives the world as his toy and says to his mother (Russia or any other country): Mom, I'm going to war! Then the children's song ends and war chaos ensues. Because war spares no one. Neither the dictator, nor his people, nor those who defend themselves. Krokodil in Russia is the name for a type of drug that destroys the mind. That's why every dictator is a crocodile psychopath. etc...etc...That's just a small part of the explanation. It's hard to explain everything. For example, why does the general (singer) take off his clothes at the end? When he takes off his clothes, you can see his nakedness, he has nothing but his uniform, he is empty. But it also shows that he is only human too. As they say in Croatia: He is also bloody under the skin. That means - he is vulnerable. And he will end up like any dictator.

Let3 was the only good PERFOMANCE in National Final, that's it.

This was shocking experience at first sight, especially having in mind usual expectation of Eurovision Song Contest - at least what it meant in the past. But recently, for a decade or two in fact, we are witnesses of an obvious decay of all parameters, especially the musical ones, so it has turned into a kitchy show where melody and music is not a merit any more, but glittering costumes and political messages are bates for sensation-hungry audience. At first, my impression was that with this tune of Let 3 ESC is going to get what it already deserves for long time, after years of unsuccessful washed out boring and noninspired crap Croatia was sending there. Now we offered a spectacle, anti-war multilayered show full of symbolism, historical alusions, hidden massages and conquering simplicity of musical material that sticks to your brain almost instantly. Painfully simple melody irresistably attack listener's memory and he can hardly get rid of it soon. Notice also a sort of criticism of ESC presented in glamfashioned extravagance, pointing out how a festival of fine pop songs once gradually escalated to tasteless visual show that has no ambition to offer a pleasure for one's ears any more.

Music should spread joy and love, not hatred and political nonsense!

Who are you to place us anywhere? you are so thoughtful and self-righteous. Peace. ŠČ!

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.
