Eurovision Review: Moldova
May. 5th, 2005 10:30 pmMoldova is another of those strange little countries left behind in the break up of the former USSR, and it is a stange little entry for Eurovision Zdob si Zdub - "Boonika Bate Toba"
(unrelated song of the day) Leaving for Moldovia - shane Macgowan/the pouges/the popes (demo/bootleg)
(I would insert the lyrics here but am yet to find them... when I will d I will edit this to include them)
OK this is possible the closest to last years swiggles that we are going to find. this could be a song for a kiddies show, I don't know. even the act looks like a kiddy group
Moldova dont have a history in Eurovision, and this wont be memorable for them at all. no points to them for Zdob si Zdub - "Boonika Bate Toba"
"Boonika bate doba"
(Grandmamma beats the drum-a)
1.
It’s jump up jungle, a little like break beat
Never seen that super hit - boonika beats da drum-a
Big mallet in the hand, high hat in the same beat
She’s screaming like Hawkins, my old Big Mama
Boonika beats da drum-a like I never heard before
She’s a slapping Miss Blackman, gimme some more
Check it, let’s kick it, we wanna dance now
We are turning into hammers ticking rhythm out
Refrain:
Boonika bate doba
Boonika bate tare
Boonika bate doba cu maciuca’n casa mare!
2
I love so much doba making boom-boom
Now get your body moving, just follow the tune
It’s a real magic- big mama play her drum-a
She’s flying into trance like an Indian shaman
Who is the “Beatles”, who is Peter Pan
Who is the gypsy Hendrix -
She don’t care, that misses L
I smile, I cry when I see that crazy baba
Dizzy tempo dizzy let’s go my music-mama
Refrain:
Boonika bate doba
Boonika bate tare
Boonika bate doba cu maciuca’n casa mare!
3
People in the place, feel your body shakes
Boonika beats da drum-a-tama tapping out the breaks
Pop you up with dat beat
Get rid of rotten meat
You dig with your soul
Deep inside that rock’n’roll
She’s a drum machine, you know what I mean
She wanna play jumparale to make you spin,
Drain a bottle of wine, no need to smoke the leaves
By the end of that show you‘ll blow yourself to bits
4
You are a real drum machine
You make me wanna dance, you’re a slapping queen
To get that state you drink juice from grapes
And I go deep into the music space
Refrain:
Boonika bate doba
Boonika bate tare
Boonika bate doba cu maciuca’n casa mare!
