Song you should know 1/23/21 - "Discoteque" from the Roop...

 

 

Eurovision national finals season is on, and today's SYSK is from the leading contender in the contest to represent the Baltic nation of Lithuania at the Eurovision Song Contest to be held in the Netherlands this coming May. The Roop, who had been the country's pick last year with "On Fire", my favorite for the unfortunately cancelled 2020 competition, are back with a "Discoteque" (not to be confused with the campy U2 song), a new look, and a jam that even tops their previous effort. Lead singer Vaidostas says about the song,

 

“The new song “Discoteque” talks about personal inner liberation. Rather often we say that we are free and that we live in a free world. But most of our restraints come from the inside. So, this song and movement aims liberate our minds, which contains too much self-criticism, fear of appearing different, reluctance to accept your body, even limiting your attractiveness.”

May the TikTok dance meme commence. And I really hope this goes on, I would love to see it on the Eurovision stage.
