Artist: Zdob Si Zdub
Song: Boonika Bate Doba
This is the very first entry by Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest. The came 6th in
contest in Kiev, Ukraine. Great entry, catchy song, well deserved placing.
I still think the song is a bit weird: Bunica bate doba translates to "Grandmama beats
drum - A song about a Grandmamma - WTF? She's screaming like Hawkins - WTF?
Anyway, this way one of my fav's from eurovision, So here's the tab:
(Just Drums)
(Fiddle around on the part)
Pluck each note for the chords below (You'll get the idea!)
It's a jump up jungle, little like a break beat
Never seen that hit, bunica beat da drum-a
Big mallet in the hand, high hat in the same beat
She's screaming like Hawkins, my old big mama
Bunica beat da drum-a like I never heard before
She's a slapping miss Blackman, gimme some more
Check it, let's kick it, we wanna dance now
We are turning into hammers ticking rhythm out WHOO!!!
Prechorus
Bunica bate doba
Bunica bate tare
Bunica bate doba cu machuca 'n casa mare
Bunica bate doba
Bunica bate tare
Bunica cu machuca bate doba 'n casa mare
I love so much doba making boom-boom
Now get your body moving, just follow the tune
It's a real magic, big mama play her drumma
She's flying into trance like an Indian shaman
Who's the Beatles? Where from is Peter Pan?
Who's the gypsy Jimmy Hendrix?
She don't care, that mrs L
I smile, I cry when I see that crazy baba
Dizzy tempo dizzy, let's go my music mama
Prechorus
Bunica bate doba
Bunica bate tare
Bunica bate doba cu machuca 'n casa mare
Instrumental
Just Keep strumming
People in da place, feel your body shakes
Bunica beat da drum-a tapping out the breaks
Pop you up with dat beat
Get rid of rotten meat
You dig with your soul
Deep inside that rock 'n' roll
She's a drum machine, you know what I mean
She wanna play jumparale to make you spin
Drain a bottle of wine, no need to roll the leaves
By the end of dat show you will blow yourself to bits
Instrumental
Just Keep strumming

To get that state you drink juice from grapes
And I go deep into the music space
