Rambo Amadeus Made Monetary Policy Funky

Published 2024-04-18
In 2012, one of Eurovision’s fiercest critics came to Eurovision to bomb, and succeeded in spectacular fashion. NOTE: Rambo's father was Ilija Pusic, not Dragoslav Srejovic. Ilija was also an archeologist but I don't believe he had his own postage stamp. Belgrade City Museum, please correct your webpage.

    He always stayed cool, like a swimming pool

    In many European languages the word for "illiterate" is a cognate of "analphabetic" so an illiterate person from a random European country might actually say "analphabetic " instead of "illiterate" when speaking English.

    The best thing about Eurovision is that you need to do geopolitics research to understand the depths of some songs and scandals whereas others are so generic and trashy it's hard to believe somebody made them.

    Never clicked a video so fast

    Eurovision is the world's most favourite fancy cake stuffed with many political ingredients inside
  • @milenasovic
    So, it took more than a decade for you all to understand what he was singing about 🙃
  • @paulojrneto
    Euro Neuro still got 12 points from Albania.
  • @zooom99m
    Dragoslav Srejovic is definitely not related to Rambo Amadeus. :) His father is Ilija Pusic, who was the head of a museum in Herceg Novi and also an archeologist. For everything else, you all did a great job.
  • @najrenchelf2751
    I think my favourite thing about this whole Euro Neuro stunt is that this song opened that first semi final - he basically was the first artist on stage for the live shows... what a twist! XD
  • @ESCVerso
    I always knew this entry was iconic, but I never realized how iconic. Great video. There's so much context to this. Sucks the way the story ends.
  • Thanks for this episode! You might have missed relevant information: Montenegro, despite not being in EU, use euro as their currency. This limited their possibilities to control the effects of 2008 crisis (as euro is controlled by EU-based bank). Euro-Neuro might also be the reaction for how ECB handled the crisis.

    Dear Overthinking it, loved the video, but you have made an oversight when it comes to the name of Rambo's father. He is, in fact, the son of Ilija Pušić, not Dragoslav Srejović. Both of his parents (Bosiljka and Ilija) were teachers, and lived in the small coastal town Herceg Novi (Montenegro). Very cool analysis I must say. I tip my hat to the effort. Best wishes, gentlemen!

    Praises and high fives for showing the poster of Francesco Gabbani's Occidentali's Karma CD cover (Italy 2017) on Matthew Belinkie room...Somewhere in the world a naked ape is dancing!
  • @klasicharka
    Kudos for mentioning the harassments conviction, I was afraid you wouldn't. Great video, but although Dragoslav Srejović was a really cool dude, and more people should know about him, I hate to burst your bubble - he was not Rambo's father :) I'm so curious, where did you find that info?
  • @DraganKrstic
    Rambo named "Turbo-Folk" somewhere in late '80s as name for his post-modernist music. Also, it should be noted that, at that time, Montenegro tried to make some success in ESC by sending well known stars: Rambo, Who See (with the most epic drop in the history if ESC), Knez, Sergej Ćetković... probably thinking that the rest of the ex-YU countries will vote for them.
  • @zelenozubi
    rambo is great balkan artist, but balkan dont give a shit about art. great video, you become serious 😎👍
  • @Snowshowslow
    I think this is the first of the history videos that features an act I had no idea existed. And I'm still not sure whether that was a good or a bad thing 😂
  • @PapaVanTwee5
    I think my favorite Montenegran song in Eurovision came in 2013, Who See (with Nina Žižić) - Igranka. I still don't know what it's about, but it's just wild. And Who See is stillmaking insane music, too.
