Song of the week: Moja štikla

Croatia has been one of my favourite countries in ESC history. This year they brought to the Eurovision stage their most relaxed and fun song ever: Moja štikla by Severina, reaching 12th place with 56 points. It was not a brilliant result but Moja štikla wasn't a typical Eurovision song either. We haven't seen another song so passionate about shoes since the 1984 Swedish entry. On the other only two other songs already qualified for the final (Romania and Greece) scored higher them Croatia on the big night so their result wasn't that bad after all. I would like to see the ESC going to the Balcans again and considering all their previous contributions to the contest Croatia is the country that should win it first. But we will have to wait and see because I imagine Serbia will bring another great song to Helsinki.

My stiletto

For the grass has not yet sprouted
Where my stiletto has stepped

(Come here, come here, come here)
Hop, hop, hop, hop
(Go, my chick)

Tick-tock, around half past two
You'll pinch me, so that nobody can see it
I know them well, guys like you
The devils are your godfathers

Ring, ring, you'll search for my number
Knock, knock, go knocking somewhere else
(Darling, girl, come and tighten your socks)

For the grass has not yet sprouted
Where my stiletto has stepped

Oyda da, oyda day, oyda day day
Oyda da, oyda day, oyda day day
Oyda da, oyda day, oyda day day
Oyda da, oyda day, my, my stiletto

(Six) seven, (six) eight, (six) nine
(Six) Mine
(Once again, girl)

S... s... s... sex
(Hop, hop, shake, shake)

Tick-tock, around half past two
You'll nibble me, so that nobody can see it
A golden ring, thin moustache
Oh boy, I know them well, guys like you

Ring, ring, you'll search for my number
Shoo, shoo, go off to someone else
(Darling, girl, come and tighten your socks)

For the grass has not yet sprouted
Where my stiletto has stepped

Oyda da, oyda day, oyda day day
Oyda da, oyda day, oyda day day
Oyda da, oyda day, oyda day day
Oyda da, oyda day, my, my stiletto

(Zoomba, zoomba, zoomba, zoomba)
(Hay, straw, cheese, salami)
(Risi-bisi, a bigger pot)
(Red beet, red beet)
Africa, paprika

(Hey... hey...)
(Go, girl)(Six, seven, eight, nine)
