Croatia is under the microscope in this week’s episode. Monty takes us through a potted history of the Balkan country at the Eurovision Song Contest. And of course a cherry must be picked for the Second Cherry Song Contest 2019.

As a fluent Spanish speaker I can assure you that “Brutalero” has very little Spanish in it (“amor”, “como”, “chupa” “bomba” and “pero”, that’s it) and makes no sense. I don’t think it makes sense in Croatian either. So though the song is listed on https://lyricstranslate.com/en/luka-nižetić-brutalero-lyrics.html as being in Croatian and Spanish, I think it’s a constructed language made to sound like Spanish to a non-Spanish audience. Which makes me love the song even more.
