Fun fact: He wrote the song, he did recording and production all by himself and his girlfriend did the music video. No big fancy studios and productions whatsoever.
True.. and it’s not about wanting to escape rural area at all and go to the big town.. Its because he needs to escape Croatia because of politics and HDZ nepotism Ps: love the promotion of Istrian pasta ( not Bread Tom lol) Wine and rural tourism…( stony houses)
In my opinion this song is much more serious, than most people think. More depressing than fun. It comes from lithuanian immigrant living in UK for more then 2 decades.
I am from Slovenia....but so so so excited to have Croatia near the top. It's not our representative but we are still brothers and I really hope he brings victory to this area. Zagreb 25🎉
Fun fact - the last scene was supposed to be him leaving in an old-fashioned wooden boat with oars, but he couldn't find anyone who wanted to lend him such a boat, so I guess this was a compromise :)
Too funny. I thought it was a statement on the lack of opportunity. Like there was no way to get out. Or else he was diving into the unknown. But nope, he just couldn’t get a boat 😂😂
When you said you liked his styling my croatian heart literaly melted. Because not only his, but all of the outfits seen in the video, are showing croatian traditional clothes. The video ingerall just shows the croatian culture and life. The animals, the work, the comming together. Just everything is totaly croatia. Thank you for this amazing video and spreading croatian culture with it 🇭🇷🤍
@@TheManInBlueFlames Yes ! I also noticed that the melody of singing Rim tim tagi dim really sounds like our traditional music. Like the trompets and just the flow of saying these words are like 100% croatian music vibe. Not to forget to mention, is that rock really respresents croatia as a country. I'm talking about Thompson and Mirsolav Škoro our biggest singers. I always tell people to listen to them, when they have no clue what croatian music really is. You should definitly check them out especialy songs like "Moj Ivane", " Bojna Cavoglave" "Anica-Kninska-Kraljica" from Thompson and "Sude Mi" by Škoro. You will see Baby Lasagna is doing extaly this but with his own modern twist
I am so thrilled that he won!! 🥳 It's been so rare that my favourite song has won the national final 🤣 But he's going to Eurovision and earns my #1 spot!
Guys, Croatia is currently 3rd with the odds. You can't even imagine what it means to our Balkan community! Croatia struggled a lot last years, barely qualified and now we have winning potential. I can't even remember if any Balkan country was that high. So I'm hoping he is gonna be selected and get the best possible result.
Exactly. Slovenian here and I am sharing the excitement... because even having someone that has such potential to win! Just don't mess it up with Dora! 12 points from Slo definitely in Semi and Final
Enjoy the hype! Last spring as a Finnish person was amazing, I hope you guys have just as much fun and maybe bring that ESC trophy home unlike us 😂 avenge our green man!!
In a parallel universe, this banger was already internally selected by Croatia. And us Eurovision fans would be just enjoying the song and the prospect of what will be done in May!
Oh pleaaasse Croatia 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 send him to Malmö ❤, and he will run top 5 ...at least ..he is my very Favorit tjis year even thoug he didn't win so far ...what a big chance 🥰🥰
Damn now I picture a staging whete the sad piano part plays at the end and Baby Lasanga picks up his bag and walks towards towards the back of the stage (where he gets covered/fades out), while the dancers on the stage who are depicting the people from his village stand there and wave him goodbye there is so much winner potential it just gets better and better
I thought the same! I’m from the US but my ancestors made these sad journies away from home and family, it actually brings tears to thing of everyone forced to leave and they and the communities suffered. This is so universal and I think a lot of people can relate.
Croatia deserves to win!🤞🇭🇷 The message of the song: young people are leaving their country😔, looking for a better life. We have to fight for a better life in our countries. Everything depends on us.👍🙏 Greetings to all good people, from Montenegro!🇲🇪🙋♀️A special greeting for you Tom!😊🎶🙋♀️ Baby Lasagna to victory!🤞🇭🇷🎶🎉
This has the perfect combination of humour, catchiness and jury appeal that if this gets to Eurovision it has got to be one of the favourites. Love the industrial metal style and I think this would definitely get 12 points from the finnish audience.
If he wins DORA he will be going straight to my number 1 for ESC this song is a mix of genres it’s funny it’s cultural it’s got a message it’s catchy anthemic it’s just incredible And as for the man himself he’s just like käärijä unknown but sweet humble funny intelligent I hope he comes for the ESC trophy and avenges Käärijä from last year because Finland deserved to win and this year Croatia deserve to win 😊 plus I wanna see this banger live!! 🎉🎉
The new music video ALREADY has 30,000 views and it's been FOUR hours! The music video is made by the same person who did Marco's lyric video and it's pretty iconic and quirky! I love how they show the rural farmlands of Western Croatia near where Marco grew up in Umag. It's a great advertisement for Croatia! I personally would head on down there for a holiday after seeing that music video! The outfits are great! If he's going stage with a bunch of angry farmers banging their fists and pitchforks, it's going to be VERY memorable! Very history-intertwined as well! Not sure how he can add the piano outro with 3 minutes! Love your enthusiasm for the song! I want to go all in for Baby Lasagna! I've heard Vatra are industry plants from Croatian sources, meaning HRT have injected them with a lot more views then they should be having and so it worries me if they're gonna dump a load of points into them with their jurors or some other act and leave Baby without many points. I've heard rumours that Marko's staging will involve a DJ and haystacks at Dora but that he's keeping the dance part rather light! Regardless, this would be my WINNER at Eurovision if it's sent!
Actually, this is reminiscence of beginning of 20th century when bunch of people emigrated. It's the old Istria rural feel of early 1900es. Now days those parts do not exist, sadly. Consumerism and capitalism took over.
His cats are in the video. I think his family and friends are too. The drummer and guitarist have their faces covered because I think they play in some other very famous groups in Europe? The song looks funny but it's just told that way. In the last 5 year 250,000 people left Croatia between the ages of 20 and 40. This is not only about the departure of the population from agricultural areas, but also about a large outflow of highly educated people to developed industrial countries. For a small country like Croatia with its 3.8 million inhabitants, this is terrible. 😺 back 💋
I’ve been Eurovision junkie for years - and Croatian. It’s such a pleasure to see hype and excitement around our NF and possible entry🥳🥰🇭🇷 Thank you all🤩 I hope we will not dissapoint🤞
Love this so much, it will instantly go into my top 3 or maybe even top 2. But I have a horrible feeling that the juries aren't going to appreciate this as much as they should.
Another interesting tidbit - you said he has a great way of styling himself, but that's all his girlfriend's work (he said so himself in interviews - when you compliment my style, you're actually complimenting her 😂), and she also directed this music video :) A lady with a good eye!
She definitely deserves a shoutout, I've known her work since forever, she has such a niche and unique style :D and the video fits perfectly to the song itself
It is not about escaping rural life, but about young Croats leaving their homeland in search for a better life abroad. Despite being a rather small country, Croatia is very diverse in terms of architecture and traditions. The life and the attire in the video are from Istria, where the singer is from. The song is a winner! I may be biased because Marko (the singer) is my fellow Istrian 😄🤟🏼
I have one word for his music video. AWESOME!!😃😃😃.I'm living for Friday to see him on the stage and I'm even more optimistic for him after this video. THIS SHOULD WIN, ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT. And Tom, your meme with Baby Lasagna as football player taking a penalty, while HRT is goalkeeper is hilarious. You really put a smile on my face.😂😂😂. He's gonna score this penalty on Sunday evening, I'm sure.😃
@@ESCTom Or... a home in rural Croatia is simply not complete without a dozen lace doilies on the tables, on the windowsills, under the TV set, over the TV set...
I heard people on Reddit talking about it as "another joke entry" so I had very low expectations about this song, but boy were they wrong. This entry is far from a joke. As someone else said in this comment section, if he manages to sound live as good as he sounds on the video, he might win the whole Eurovision. And the crochets on the drums - so Balkanic, lol.
@@ESCTomso true! The only songs I would call joke entries are things like Dustin the Turkey, Leto Svet. The fandom is becoming so annoying with their constant moping about supposed joke entries. As if everything has to be a super serious ballad.
Can't get my tongue around Rmm Tim Tagi Dim, quite the tongue twister but can you just imagine this on the big stage, the lights, the energy, the audience, wow, wow, wow, this is stonking. 🙏 Let this win Dora 🙏
I said to marko they need to use the stick hammering in the heavy bass bit on stage along with maybe the blind cat somehow tagged in with a blind contact lens. Loads of fire, colours that change with the mood of the song. Red and orange fire for the heavy bit and cyan yellow and violet for the chorus. Maybe a Croatian Kossak dance in the dance break 🥇🥇🥇🥇
I wanna be seeing lots of traditional dancing in the stage performance, since he refers to "the dance" so much. Maybe have some traditionally dressed dancers that switch between traditional dancing and rocking out.
Betting odds are decreasing violently. Such a great response, this video deserves it. Personally, I'm going to use all prepaid phones when time comes (mums, dads, brothers, grandmas, my own ofc.). 🎉
@@ESCTom Thank you. There is a one more postpaid MSISDN in danger, well... gonna use that too, lifetime oportunity to do so... Who cares, boss will have to approve it, hahaha.
I love this song and I also feel that "Croatians leaving Croatia because of hardship" I grew up in a small country town in Australia and the population was as literally only Croatians and Catholic Irish who fled due to war, but then worked hard and made it I didn't even meet an Australian born until I moved away from home. Growing up like that I'll always feel connected to Croatia and the immigrants who moved to Australia as well as the Irish. This song is one of my favs so I really hope it gets selected but yeah we can't trust their national final 😂😅
Fantastic video, looks impeccable, so well directed and shot. Excellent idea to have him in red, he’s standing out even in wide shots. Musically it’s very reminiscent of Rammstein, particularly that piano outro
I don’t see how he loses. It’s the best song and unless he does what Harmonija did last year and completely spike the staging (which I doubt - I imagine a lot of acts saw that) or somehow sounds awful live. I’m getting a similar feeling to when I first saw Cha Cha Cha last year with this song.
I still not sure from the video what the "special dance/prance" is going to be. Is it the hand movement he does in the middle of the song (up and down and sideways) or is it the traditional dance at thre very end with the kicks. He said in the Wiwibloggs interview he's thinking of having dancers. I guess we will have to wait and see this week.
This song is great, TOP 10 for sure, if it is choosen, hope so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼 ❤❤❤❤❤❤ Little update: Netherlands will announce song at Febr. 29th, Thursday. Was announced on Insta.
Also, in the finals, there is international jury: Island, Germany, Italy and Ukraine. Public vote from these countries all support Baby Lasagna, unsure what jury stands are.
6 หลายเดือนก่อน
@ESC Tom As expected, or not? Ukraine sees competition, so no 12 pts. Italy, dido, so no 12 pts. Germany, Eugen is German name, so no 12 pts. And feels like the role of international jury was to hide their lack of hearing and understanding what is hip in Eurovision today. Their boys Battifiaca, 0pts? I think we should reconsider international jury
YT recomende me this music video and I just loved it!! Now I saw this and was so thrilled, so this is in ESC?!? But what I understand they are not qualified? Well I hope so, this is great ❤
@@ESCTom Its even worse: he first has to pass the semi final and than win the finals. So yeah we hope he wins, I’ll surely vote for him tonight and sunday
Yes 🙌🏽 I watched this Song Submission because of the cat 🐈 thumbnail but it made me so impressed and the energy level is catchy. I believe it’s a true story about the young people leaving home to work outside of beautiful CROATIA 🇭🇷. The scenic view clips look BEAUTIFUL. I hope 🤞🏼 everyone votes and calls 📞 in to vote for MARKO. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and support.
ramstein background, vocal combination dead or alive chorus billy idol sounds so good other songs mild horror tele vaulting - alone received more votes than all 15 songs
Hello Tom! Baby Lasagna has passed the second semi-final and has really done very well. I think it has charisma, and we are probably facing the best song so far. Thank you very much for your video!
I've deleted my comment, since you've explained everything at the end of your reaction. :D ps. Baby Lasagna is Goran Ivanišević of the ESC. :D (going to win with the wild card)
@@ESCTom 09.07.2001. It was boiling hot and the match was on for 3 days. :D Goran cut into my nerves, handball players made my hair grey, football players (WC 2018) finished me. :D
This is a solid idea for the music video. The sound is a song done well. The analysis by Tom makes this song stand out even more. I hope Baby Lasagna see this reaction.
I don’t know plagiarism law, but it’s obviously heavily inspired by ‘Du riechst so gut’ and ‘Ich will’ by Rammstein. As a Rammstein fan, I like it very much but am a bit confused about the similarities 🧐
The one eyed ginger cat did it for me, absolute purrrrfection! ❤Croatia would be insane not to send this, I really think they could win the contest, it's just fabulous.
Last year's performance of MAMA ŠČ was chaotic, but this year's performance (if Rim Tim Dagi Dim qualifies as national representor) is WAY better than last year in my opinion. I really hope Croatian jury won't flop since this song was a backup if someone canceled (like Zsa Zsa did, I'm glad she did). Go Marko! rim tim dagi dim rim tim
I feel this follows on Käärijä's vibes (rap, electro, heavy feel, a catchy chorus where people can sing along). I really like this. Käärijä was not well known in Finland either, and the rest of Europe would not know the artists from other countries anyway.

and he was in a folk metal bend Manntra also Croatian and he left it, that's why he knows what and how to do . don't forget that
He's not **wanting** to escape the small village life, he's forced to. It's Croatian reality and actually very sad.
True.. and it’s not about wanting to escape rural area at all and go to the big town..
Its because he needs to escape Croatia because of politics and HDZ nepotism

Potential winner of eurovision
He's my winner out of all the songs this year, followed closely by Mustii ❤
I still not sure from the video what the "special dance/prance" is going to be. Is it the hand movement he does in the middle of the song (up and down and sideways) or is it the traditional dance at thre very end with the kicks. He said in the Wiwibloggs interview he's thinking of having dancers. I guess we will have to wait and see this week.
Marko just put up a IG story saying don't get used to the video too much because the staging will be" "Even crazier".
Im sure that there WILL be some form of traditional dance, be it kolo or something else specifically from Istra
I was only familiar with the lyric video, so this was me discovering that he's also reeaalllll hot. Make this happen Croatia!
This song is great, TOP 10 for sure, if it is choosen, hope so 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Little update: Netherlands will announce song at Febr. 29th, Thursday. Was announced on Insta.
Europapa 🇳🇱
@@ESCTom 😄 I am very curious about the song.
Also, in the finals, there is international jury: Island, Germany, Italy and Ukraine. Public vote from these countries all support Baby Lasagna, unsure what jury stands are.
@ESC Tom
As expected, or not? Ukraine sees competition, so no 12 pts. Italy, dido, so no 12 pts.
Germany, Eugen is German name, so no 12 pts.
And feels like the role of international jury was to hide their lack of hearing and understanding what is hip in Eurovision today.
Their boys Battifiaca, 0pts? I think we should reconsider international jury
YT recomende me this music video and I just loved it!! Now I saw this and was so thrilled, so this is in ESC?!? But what I understand they are not qualified? Well I hope so, this is great ❤
hes in the Natioanl final of Croatia so he needs to win that first
@@ESCTom thumbs up, fingers crossed and what ever helps then 🙏 Croatia you know what to do!!
@@ESCTom Its even worse: he first has to pass the semi final and than win the finals. So yeah we hope he wins, I’ll surely vote for him tonight and sunday
Very excited for this song in esc this year. It has that extra something🩵🎉🐈
Winner vibes🥳
Perfect! The Winner!🎉
if this does not win dora - I WILL THROW A TANTRUM 😂
ME TOO
Yes 🙌🏽 I watched this Song Submission because of the cat 🐈 thumbnail but it made me so impressed and the energy level is catchy. I believe it’s a true story about the young people leaving home to work outside of beautiful CROATIA 🇭🇷. The scenic view clips look BEAUTIFUL. I hope 🤞🏼 everyone votes and calls 📞 in to vote for MARKO. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and support.
I've backed this about a month ago when it was 40/1, come on Baby Lasagna.
💰💰💰
Me too. I was surprised to see such long odds and placed an EW.
@@marcus4411 Still gotta win DORA yet but was worth the risk.
I placed a bit when it was 50/1 in mid-January. I'm shocked to see the odds now but not entirely surprised.
we'll be millionaires@@user-kp2ds4pd5s
Croatia you have to send this guy - you've got the chance to be this year's Cha Cha Cha don't mess it up.
The best song and video.
ramstein background, vocal combination dead or alive chorus billy idol sounds so good
other songs mild horror
tele vaulting - alone received more votes than all 15 songs
Can win 😍
This is such a BANGER. I am obsessed.
I m from Croatia❤ we are the best
Thnx for reaction Tom ...hope he slay on Dora and then Esc ....this can be first Croatian fav to win esc after Doris 1999...
Croatia you have one job! Please pick this banger 🎉🎉🎉🎉😅
Hello Tom! Baby Lasagna has passed the second semi-final and has really done very well. I think it has charisma, and we are probably facing the best song so far. Thank you very much for your video!
Seriously, winning potential❤️
I've deleted my comment, since you've explained everything at the end of your reaction. :D
ps. Baby Lasagna is Goran Ivanišević of the ESC. :D (going to win with the wild card)
loooooool i remember that Ivanisevic win, i watched the whole thing live
@@ESCTom 09.07.2001. It was boiling hot and the match was on for 3 days. :D
Goran cut into my nerves, handball players made my hair grey, football players (WC 2018) finished me. :D
Fantastic!!very extra all original
This is a solid idea for the music video. The sound is a song done well. The analysis by Tom makes this song stand out even more. I hope Baby Lasagna see this reaction.
If this gets selected, it is my instant no 1 and NEEDS to win. 12 points from UK
Two videos in so little time, Gimlo's loving these videos! Really wishing Baby Lasagna the best of luck 💪🐔
simply wonderful ❤
Baby Lasagna rocks!!!👍✌🤘🙏☮
He has stage performance tho, he has been playing gitar in the band Manntra, which toured around Europe.
I've just finished Poland analysis video, Tom, you are content machine 😅. The shirt is awesome, by the way
I don’t know plagiarism law, but it’s obviously heavily inspired by ‘Du riechst so gut’ and ‘Ich will’ by Rammstein. As a Rammstein fan, I like it very much but am a bit confused about the similarities 🧐
I'm excited for Friday.
But what is he milking though haha
The one eyed ginger cat did it for me, absolute purrrrfection! ❤Croatia would be insane not to send this, I really think they could win the contest, it's just fabulous.
This video reminded me so much of Ramsteins Musicvideos.
Yes, its " Dicke Titten" 😅 the Video ist very similar
LASAGNA🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Last year's performance of MAMA ŠČ was chaotic, but this year's performance (if Rim Tim Dagi Dim qualifies as national representor) is WAY better than last year in my opinion. I really hope Croatian jury won't flop since this song was a backup if someone canceled (like Zsa Zsa did, I'm glad she did). Go Marko! rim tim dagi dim rim tim
I CANT WAITTT FOR YOUR BELGIUM REACTION OMGGG
its filmed, ill edit todat but its going to be a nightmare with copyright cos of Warner Music, so will likely be tomorrow morning
@@ESCTom werk omg
Masterpiece!!!!!
You've got your priorities straight
THE SHIRT, I NEED IT
That's soooo last year, daaahling!
apparently his fiancée is a photographer and very likely did alot for this video. As they say, behind every man is a badass woman
oh lol great minds, i literally just used that quote in another comment 😂
We literally commented the same thing the very same minute :) Yes, she is the video director and his stylist
@@ESCTom eurofan telepathy 😂
I think that is my winner!!!!
Hy from Croatia! He had more 2 songs,video spot. Look at! Bye
He gives me Maneskin attitude & vibe. Winner! 🏆
I feel this follows on Käärijä's vibes (rap, electro, heavy feel, a catchy chorus where people can sing along). I really like this. Käärijä was not well known in Finland either, and the rest of Europe would not know the artists from other countries anyway.
I love your poe shirt < 3 Great video!
