Wow, I'm really amazed at how many people don't like this song. I love it (and by association Zdob si Zdub).
And if you listen to the words, it's really not anti-gypsy, anti-Romanian or anti-anything. And even if it were, I doubt that one song about a space-traveling gypsy could really affect anyone's perception about a whole country. Ironically, ignorant perceptions of other countries aren't that simple. ;)
drivetestro - isn't the song theoretically *sung* by a gypsy who was abducted by aliens and spends his life roaming the universe and in the end decides to return home? I love that story, partly because it's exactly what I did - traveled the world, could live anywhere, but ultimately decided to come home.
Hi Leif, wonderful photos. Amusing music also, Zdob&Zdub rulz.
But you should know that the term "Tiganii" (gipsies) is considered a national insult in Romania, and that what Romanians hate the most is to be named "tigani" by other nations. That really is the most horrible insult a stranger could put upon a Romanian. Even for a gipsy, lol!
Well... the song is shouting "Tiganii", so you managed to craft a very artful musical insult for all romanians.
@drivetestro actually, the term „țigan” (gipsy) is not an insult per se, but nowadays it has a bad connotation and I don't want to get into polemics of why is that... The word "tigan" or gipsy is the name of an ethnic group and should only be used as such.
@leifpettersen I just want to say i like your video together with the song
love the lisence plate. You always find the funniest signs/etc. wherever you go! Also, there are alot of interesting buildings in Romania! One of my favorites is the casino down on the coast in Constanta.
I could not watch this video; You are too ignorant

The music ruins everything. Be thankful to God or cheese pizza that your nation is not considered a Gipsy nation for no good reason.

You may consider using another song, lol :)
