.From CroaŠČia..........Hidden in a plain sight. This is a superb ‘rock-opera’ anti-war parody with powerful visuals. Tractor is a reference to Belarus president 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 nuclear rockets has NINLE on his forehead (word play: Nin-Le=Lenin) and is dressed in monk's outfit, like Rasputin. Insertion of a dominant, sinister, dark Lenin, who came way before Putin, points to a much deeper problem. And those TWO nuclear warheads; after all we all know who dropped the A-bombs! At the end of the video, on the nuclear missile, it is written "pajČu", an anagram; "Čupaj"- pull out. Trajna nina nena’ is Croatian song for little kids; ‘Trajna nina armagedon nona’(grandma) speaks for itself. Mama ŠČ is a metaphor for Mother Russia (ŠČ is a letter of the Russian alphabet, also old Croatian Glagolitic). The Cyrillic letter Shch Щ was derived from the Glagolitic (Croatian script) letter Sht Ⱋ. Coincidently, the sum of letters Š and Č gives Z (25+4=29) in Croatian alphabet, and Z is a military symbol used by Russian Federation to mark their military vehicles in Ukraine. The chaotic part of the song represents repeating the same mistakes from history, and not learning anything. It plays Croatian 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). Visually, there are a lot of subliminals with multilevel meaning. Crocodile is a terrible drug popular in Russia, that makes people act like zombies. Guys are dressed in military uniforms but in pink and bright colors and are wearing dresses; making fun of all warmongers and military establishments, proponents of chaos. Side image shows roses sticking out of their asses. Preposterous, or superb description of the present time? Main exclamation is ‘mama idem u rat’- mommy I am going to war, a cry against the forced mobilization, and sending young people to kill each other. Are we ever going to learn?!
Brilliantly described, also the make up, bright colours was a reference to the hate for lgbtq community in Russia where it’s illegal to love someone that’s not heterosexual
The whole Eastern Europe will decode ŠČ song and vote for it. It will not win, but that was never an intention. Song singing satirically about present situation simply can’t be left behind. ŠČ avant- guard.
There is no pro-political statement or affiliation in the song, no names have been outspoken. That's allowed. Except Lenin on the forehead - though the guy now long dead, they 've been kindly asked to discard it in the future.
The inspiration for this song is:Mother Courage and Her Children ( Mutter Courage und ihre Kinder) is a play written in 1939 by the German dramatist and poet Bertolt Brecht (1898-1956).Thank you for your comments. Greetings from Croatia.🙂
Wow this is so cool suprise, you arent ignorant at all, mostly you figurate it yourself. Im litteraly their neigbour, they have studio across my flat, I needed to watch them ad to lised to them several times until I figured wtf is going on. RESPECT to you, my guy❤
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.
Well done on the tractor, but a less-known fact is that 'Belarus' is a big tractor brand, produced in, you guessed it, Belarus. With this in mind, you can also interpret 'Mama kupila traktora' as 'Mother Russia took over Belarus'. I can recommend you Overthinking It's analysis of this and other songs, they get nearly every hidden meaning of the song plus a dozen more wild theories
Its crazy how you u get the part about Traktor and Putin, Bravo! Like even we in Croatia needed explaition to figure what they refering to. So very smart and correct obvervation.
De Paris La France🇫🇷 Croatie n'd Let 3 (Démocratique choosen by Croatians) for LIVERPOOL'S. CROATIE 🇭🇷💋12 POINTS 🇫🇷Je souhaite n'd wish to Croatians Artists a big and Grand ŠČ à Liverpool's.
"ŠČ" is pronounced like one of the letters of Russian alphabet. "Mama kupila traktora" == "Mother bought a tractor" It's referring to Lukashenko when he bought a tractor for Putin on hi s birthday. Also, "Белару́с" (Belarus) is model of a tractor. "Onaj mali psihopat" == "That little psychopath" Reffering to Putin "Mama idem u rat" == "Mother I'm going to war" Generally he's talking about "MOTHER Russia". "Krokodilski psihopat" - "Crocodile psychopath", it's referring to Boris Johnson when he said: negotiating with Putin is like negotiating with a crocodile when it's got your leg in its jaws Children on their T-shirts are referring to genocide and kidnapped Ukrainian children from the occupied territories. Rockets are symbolizing the constant threats of the Medvedev that Russia will fire nukes. And so on. There's a lot going on at their stage
You say you're an ignorant American, but I'm impressed you knew about the gift of a tractor. It was from Lukashenko, the dictator of Belarus who is a Putin ally. Let 3 were even better live. They came 8th in their semi & 13th in the final overall or 7th in the televote.
The statement that they make a laugh out of Putin...is the same as the statement if Sacha Baron Cohen in the movie Borat..... makes the country of Kazakhstan laugh or the people who really think that Kazakhstan is really like this...they make all the politicians laugh and the people who follow them
IT CAN'T BE LOWER THAN THIS!!! The abyss of morality, the nation, the State and all human values !!! Disease and depravity in the foreground and then we find it strange when a CHILD commits a massacre 😢😢😢😢😢
you got it all wrong Mario, the song has nothing to do with hating Serbia..Hitler-Putin reference yes, but they are not saluting to him, they are making fun of Putin or any dictator, autocrat for that matter..read the above comments..if you knew anything about these guys you would know that they are true antifascists..
Obviously one has to dive deeper in specific song meaning, what is context behind it, what is history of band that is performing it to be able to give some informed opinion! This song is anything but joke entry! In fact it is much more serious and with higher artistic value than majority of nonsensical, hybrid copycat balads and other pop trash that is prevalent on any Eurosong could ever hope for to be!

"Mama kupila traktora" == "Mother bought a tractor"
It's referring to Lukashenko when he bought a tractor for Putin on hi s birthday. Also, "Белару́с" (Belarus) is model of a tractor.
"Onaj mali psihopat" == "That little psychopath"
Reffering to Putin

Children on their T-shirts are referring to genocide and kidnapped Ukrainian children from the occupied territories.
Rockets are symbolizing the constant threats of the Medvedev that Russia will fire nukes.
And so on. There's a lot going on at their stage
You are definitely not an uneducated US American, my man. You are the only person I have seen reacting to Mama ŠČ who thought to look up the lyrics...
Если не интересоваться политикой - можно получить то, о чём поют хорваты.
You say you're an ignorant American, but I'm impressed you knew about the gift of a tractor. It was from Lukashenko, the dictator of Belarus who is a Putin ally.
Let 3 were even better live. They came 8th in their semi & 13th in the final overall or 7th in the televote.
Putin and lukashenko must’ve been fuming when they realized what it was about. I can only imagine what that dwarf and the potato man said
Armageddon can be tractor. Crocodile can be drug.
Psychopath, there are more, besides the usual suspect.
Mama (Mother Russia), tractor (Belarus - series od tractor), and Krokodilski (Zelensky), also called out as psychopath who participates in the war...
12 point from israell😂😂lmaooo
Tractor Ŝč🚜🤣
this is gonna be the face of Croatian music for the next 10 years on the international scene and..... I am happy about it XD ŠČ
The statement that they make a laugh out of Putin...is the same as the statement if Sacha Baron Cohen in the movie Borat..... makes the country of Kazakhstan laugh or the people who really think that Kazakhstan is really like this...they make all the politicians laugh and the people who follow them

fascist at their best open
OMG I don't even watch Eurovision because of this. And it makes me embarrassed over Europe.
Not just this specifically, but all of it.
Don't be embarrassed, it's genius 🤣

This is the most eurovision thing ever

you come off as clever and modest which is pretty cool
