Jeszcze dwa z Polski
3 – Edyta Górniak – To nie tak, jak myślis (It’s not how you think)
Yes, Poland’s first (and still only particularly successful) Eurovision entrant, who has tried a couple of times to become the former Eastern Bloc’s answer to Mariah Carey. She didn’t particularly succeed, and has gone back to singing in Polish / appearing in every single magazine / being engaged in a long-standing catfight with at least one other famous singer. This song comes from a film of the same name, which appears to be a comedy. A pity, then, that the song isn’t particularly humorous. All in all, it’s really just an excuse for Edyta to prove that she still has amazing legs despite having given birth, etc, etc, isn’t it?
Somewhere in a pub in Poland right now, a group of guys are having a conversation about how much they hate this kind of music, and at least one of them is about to say ‘still would, though’.
7 – Video - Będzie piekło (It’ll be hell)
Calling your band that is surely a very effective way of stopping people from downloading your music illegally. Or from finding you on Google, mind. Voted best newcomer at a couple of the big awards ceremonies lately, this clip features a media whore or five. Also, as this is a family blog aimed at giving you music and nothing but music, I will not tell you exactly what the refrain means, but I will tell you that it ends in ‘off’.
Question to any Polish readers: have people been swearing more since 2004, and are the British to blame?
