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.

"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 .

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!
