Poor old Clive, he couldn't even imagine that you could say "screw" on TV in a communist country - so it must have been poor translation. Actually - that's exactly what they sang - and it's the most popular tongue-in-cheek love song by the great new wave band called Idoli. It's a classic tune well known and loved in all the ex-Yugoslav countries, even today, 30 years after it was recorded. But that would be too complicated to explain and it wouldn't be funny.
Better than most shows today...!

Classic! I've never seen any of the Clive James era of '...on TV' until now and I wished I'd seen some before, it's hilarious!

"tongue-in-cheek love song"
Yes i thought it must be. James is a funny man But either he's missed the point of that song or he's ignoring it .
