Foreign music can be humorous, especially when they try to globalize themselves by singing in an "Americanized" style. That's why I found those videos by Slovenian/Serbian artist Magnifico (Robert Pešut), with vocals delivered through an accent thicker than an NYC phone book, and a musical style that was perhaps a decade out of date here in N. America when he recorded it. The video for "Hir Aj Kam, Hir Aj Go" ("Here I Come, Here I Go") is similarly over the top, with every known video cliché dragged into it, almost as though it were a parody to the MTV era.
But I can appreciate the irony of what was happening in his life during this time. Prior to writing this, and the other songs for the Import/Export album, his wife Barbara had fallen ill (multiple sclerosis). And that was inspiration to lock himself into a room and begin writing new songs. So even though his style can be over the top, it is a way for him to work through that news. Barbara has been wheelchair-bound for a while now, but he is still at her side today, taking care of her.
On a lighter note, it's great music to play in the car. Strangers on the road look at me like, "What the heck is that??"
It also shows that despite what a performer presents themself as in public, that often (or usually) doesn't apply to private life.It proves music is therapeutic and can bring Healing to the heart and soul no matter what form it takes or the circumstances involved
