Remember the strange Slovenian polka-rap video (with bikini babes on mini-tractors) from a few weeks ago? Since then we’ve been turned on to Atomik Harmonik, another Slovenian group with a flair for bizarre videos. Mixing traditional Slovenian folk music with a hyper dance beat, Atomik Harmonik is a quartet of two male singers (one who always carries/plays an accordion) and two scantily-clad blonde bombshells.
Check out the video for their first hit, “Brizgalna Brizga”, which was #1 in the Slovenian charts for several months. (It sounds like they later re-recorded this song as “Turbo Polka”, but I prefer the original.)
Thanks abaris!

I translated the lyrics for you, so you’ll know what they are singing about.
The basic theme is “the fireman”, but you’ll see that there are STRONG sexual connotations.
Hey, my sweetie, tonight I’m coming to take you,
to steal you from my mother and take you away,
somewhere prettier, on a juice or ice cream,
oh how wonderful this world is…
Oh, no no, my darling
another one lit my heart,
my fireman is coming to save me,
to exinguish the fire inside me.
You don’t know what you are missing…
Your efforts are in vain, you offer to little…
I’ll choose a guy – “the big one”,
his fire hose is the prettiest one
I’ll choose a guy – “the big one”,
I feel so good when he shouts.
Hey sweetheart, you’ll always be alone,
he’s on duty night and day,
thunder and lighting are his home,
he’ll neglect you…
Oh, no no, darling, that’s not true,
he takes me dancing every Saturday,
his red machine in shining in the sun,
he also takes care of security.
You don’t know what you are missing…
Your efforts are in vain, you offer to little…
I’ll choose a guy – “the big one”,
his fire hose is the prettiest one
I’ll choose a guy – “the big one”,
I feel so good when he shouts.

Wow. I didn’t think it could get any weirder, but now that I know what they’re singing… I’m even more blown away. Thanks for the translation (and for the introduction to turbo-folk)!

I think if you want the videos, you’ll have to figure out a way to download them from YouTube and burn them on a DVD yourself. You can buy their albums, though, at Mimovrste.
