Congrats to Novak Djokovic on dominating the soon-to-be-number-one player, Rafael Nadal on Saturday. Novak lost the finals of the Masters Series Cincinnati to Andy Murray, but what caught our eye (well, ear) was the pre-match national anthems … and that wacky Serbian song.
Dude, what is up with that tune?!?!
The things goes on for 4-plus minutes, and while we don’t understand the words (sorry, we’re not terribly scholarly), it sounds so depressing we want to drown ourselves in tapioca pudding.
Anyhow, judge for yourself.
Wholly or Holy
Jesus! It does suck! Although drenching yourself in tapioca pudding may alleviate some of your auditory induced depression, I’d suggest just should stop listening to it.
“Good, give us a justice”, a loose translation of the anthem title, was hastily choosen. After the desintegration of Yugoslavia, and for the next 15 years, Serbia used officialy defunct anthem “Hey Slavs” Moaning and bitching is the part of serbian foklore, so I am not too suprosed for such a mellow, tasteless, psycho-ward type of groan! Poeple and politicians used to get into a gang style fights over what song should be accepted as an official anthem.
Their anthem reflect a helter-helter state which tries to cling onto some past traditions, mostly outdated and in conflict with the modern world.
Welcome Serbia to Stone Age (once again)
God Bless NATO
