‘Euro Neuro’ by Rambo Amadeus is Montenegro’s entry for Eurovision 2012

“Euro Neuro don’t be sceptic / Hermetic, pathetic, analphabetic / Forget all cosmetic, you need new poetic / Aesthetic, ecletic, dialectic”

Rambo Amadeus is one of the most important figures of the Serbian-Montenegrin alternative music scene of the 1990s. He’s known for his eccentric persona and witty, satirical-political lyrics, combined with the musical fusion of jazz, rock, hip hop and turbo folk.

His new song Euro Neuro is the official Montenegrin entry for the 2012 Eurovision contest to be held in Baku, Azerbaijan. This time, Rambo raps in broken English, riding a donkey to the EU and taking the piss out of nationalism, pseudo-cosmopolitanism, western orientalism and rheumatic euro-bureaucracy. He claims his donkey is the symbol of “sustainable development”. We hope he wins.

Eurosceptic, analphabetic
Try not to be hermetic

Euro Neuro don’t be sceptic
Hermetic, pathetic, analphabetic
Forget all cosmetic, you need new poetic
Aesthetic, ecletic, dialectic

Euro neuro, don’t be dogmatic bureaucratic
You need to become pragmatic
To stop change climatic automatic
Need contribution from the institution
To find solution for pollution
To save the children of the evolution

(Blaue grotte ausflug do Zanjica, heute habe hobotnica)

Euro Neuro I don’t like snobism
Nationalism, puritanism
I am different organism
My heroism is pacifism, altruism
I enjoy bicyclism
Liberalism, tourism, nudism, optimism
It is good for rheumatism

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance

Euro neuro, I got no ambition
For high position in competition
With air condition
Different mission, different school
I got only one rule
Always stay cool
Like a swimming pool

Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Monetary break dance
Euro Neuro, Euro Neuro
Give me chance to refinance
