I love, that you really have done your research! Also Puuluup members are master trollers live. There’s a live video of a song called “Chika Pua”. They try to explain what this song means: Ramo is speaking in Estonian and Marko translates into English. Of course, the translation part is completely different to what Ramo is actually saying. Also every time I’ve seen them live, they have a different story of what this song means. And the stories are really detailed, like you almost actually believe them. They talk so masterfully, that only when you start to think about what they’re saying, you understand that they’re talking nonsense. They are just a bunch how guys having fun.

Well, Estonian daddies I mean bros might have known a lot about Eurovision, but apparently Eurovision didn't really know about them. How they only got 37 points (4 from jury and 33 from televotes) is beyond me - this is imo by far the best entry this year. Thank you for the detailed analysis of the song and groups, though, I learned a lot of new stuff about my favorites :)

@virolainenVirosta Ай бұрын

17:24 I think you’re a bit wrong about this, and it is actually another reference to the TV show “Politseikroonika” that you mention later in the video (and that is referenced in the next line of the song). There’s this very famous clip of “Politseikroonika” that’s known as “Siberi rahaboss” (“moneyboss from Siberia” in English, it’s briefly seen in the video at 19:32), where the host visits three drunken people in a disgusting and cluttered apartment, one of whom is a guy who keeps repeating how he earned a lot of money in Siberia (hence the name). In that episode, the woman in the group says “mul ei ole… meil ei ole narkomaane…” which in English means “I don’t have… we don’t have any junkies…[here]”. The first line of the song might actually reference this phrase. Later on the woman mentions how they gather stuff from garbage and says this: “Näete, seesama kleit, mis mul seljas on - see on ka leitud prügikastist” which in English means “You see, the same dress that I’m wearing - this was also found from a garbage can”. Of course this is just speculation on my part, but it wouldn’t be the first time this particular episode of “Politseikroonika” is referenced in a song.

@itst2t2 Ай бұрын

Heh funny thing is when I sent in potential clips to the boys for 19:32 I had actually noted that exact line as a potential callback (would have needed fixing the subs since the compilation with eng subs we got from hobune translated kleit => skirt, and the current selection works better out of context), and none of us [over]thought about it to connect the two But hey can always have multiple meanings too

@piiluja Ай бұрын

I think it's absolutely no coincidence as there exists also 5Miinust + Öökülm remake kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isyIp9xpv5e-cWg.html of original song about Siberian money boss, "Viskilaul" ("The Whiskey Song"). So they are surely using that bum lady motive from that legendary "Politseikroonika" episode what could be rephrased as: "we are honest hard-consuming bums, look, we are even wearing clothes found from dumpster, how dare you mix us up with some damn junkies."

I have a personal connection to Puuluup by proxy. I used to work in an Estonian cultural centre in Toronto. They hold an Estonian Music Week festival once every two years. My former supervisor knows Puuluup very well. She and other colleagues invited them for EMW's 2019 edition. They were a massive hit among those who attended. Fast forward to today, sometime immediately after they won, she tagged them on Facebook to celebrate.

@yugi1714 Ай бұрын

When you mentioned the 'suvilas' being meth labs i think you're a bit off cause most Estonians have summer houses due to them being being cheap back in the day. And because Estonia is a relatively small country it's not time consuming to go to your summer houses year round and most people do so. So in my opinion i think they just meant it as a hangout spot.

@shalalahs Ай бұрын

Yeah i wanted to mention the same: Having a suvila is not a sign of anyone being rich. Estonians used to live in rural places, and yes, young people move into bigger towns but the rural homes generally stayed in the families. Everyone needs a place to leave the towns behind for Jaanipäev ok.

I used to watch Overthinking It the first time they tackled Eurovision in 2013 (from Malmö to Malmö), when there were more guys in the channel digging into 3 songs at a time, and the channel still tackled things other than Eurovision.

The line "Prillid on pupilli...ei noh pulli pärast ikka" which at first doesn't make a lot of sense and can be dismissed easily, but when you think about it and fill in some blanks yourself, it very well can be that they start to say "the glasses are for hiding dilated pupils" but then quickly, in the middle of the sentence, change it into "no, it's actually just for fun". And they ARE wearing sunglasses on the stage, so... is it really just for fun, or are these characters sus after all? 🤔
