I was on the street, buying some groceries... And I heared a voice from radio that says:"And now we will listen most popular song in Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia"...
It started like Paul Butterfield is playing! I was confused!?
But I was more confused when I heard after 10 seconds voice of very popular croatian music star Severina. Dunno whose idea was to mix that beginning with that crapy music... no harp in entire song(except that begining and ending).

It sounds kind of like a harmonic minor polka in major. (I know at least two things in that sentence contradict each other.) The harp does come back a couple snippets in the middle. All with a latin sounding beat.

Actually, as pop music goes, the instrumentation makes it kind of catchy.

It´s pleasing to note that Croatian pop obviously dare to sound -- Croatian.
The blues harp is a bit odd in the context but I think it works, apart from the train stuff at the end.
And Severina is quite cute. (But that was sexist.)

Harp, accordion, a catchy rhythm, and no simulated sex. What's not to like? The video is inane, but most music videos are, and as pop goes it's better than a lot. The harp could have been woven into the tune better, but overall I thought it was a good fit.
