Ladies and gentlemen, the best Yugoslav entry at Eurovision ever!

Now vote for it on the next ESC250 come November. Hehe.

Danijel - Džuli

[theeurovisionconfessions]

“I wanna live in a parallel universe in which Dzuli won for Yugoslavia in 1983 and Si la vie est cadeau is non existent.”

Three Minutes to Eternity: My ESC250 (#45)

#45: Danijel Popović-- Džuli (Yugoslavia 1983)

“Stigla je sama sa ljetom, Prišla i rekla hello, Pogledi su nam govorili više od riječi,”

“She arrived alone with summer Came over and said hello Our looks said more than words”

I'm writing this piece as the ESC250 for this year opened on songfestival.be, and will continue to do so for a month. Amongst the songs that hardly appeared on the list, I think Džuli would be a good candidate to be voted on--it hangs around in the top 500, and deserves its place in the limelight. And here's why.

”Hajde da Ludujemo” (#73) is a beloved entry, and I love it myself, but Dzuli stole my heart from the first listen. They're both in the same pop vein which Yugoslavia would ride with until the country disintegrated, but while Hajde da Ludujemo is a dance floor banger, Džuli is a bit more innocent in terms of how the lyrics flow, and the instrumentation reminds me of being in a carnival.

A nostalgic, but summery bop, it exudes joy while telling the story of his lost Dzuli of the summer. We have a whole story in three acts--one where Danijel meets Džuli and is immediately smitten by her, how they spent time together until she suddenly left, and he's left yearning for her (the last verse is especially good). All confined into a three minute track, and done to perfection.

The melody is quite upbeat, with an accordion motif throughout the song. (There are some comparisons to Shakin Stevens' Oh Julie, which isn't surprising considering they're from the same era). However, the orchestration for it turns a good, fun song to new heights. to the point where it makes the studio cut fall flat on its face. The strings are so lush and cheery, especially when given their time in the limelight between choruses.

Danijel sings this with a boyish charm, and his two backing vocalists add to the fun with their hyper excited dancing and happy smiles (though sometimes, I tend to focus more on them than on Danijel himself!) I keep clapping along to their parts and singing along to Danijel's "Dzuuuuli..." there. Either way, this got Yugoslavia's first top-five placing since 1962, and became a huge hit across the continent (though Danijel's music career would go through a number of highs and lows throughout the decades)!

In the end, Dzuli is a little pearl, which brings about joy and a vibe throughout. It's enough to make me smile and play it on repeat over and over again. And as Danijel says himself (translated from an article):

"Julie" is a symbol of a time in me personally and in many others. It awakens a clearly defined image, sound, feeling, thought, memory and association to that time. "Julie" withstood all the challenges of that time and kept her beauty and playfulness forever."

Personal ranking: 2nd/20 Actual ranking: 4th/20 in Munich

Final Impressions of Yugoslavia: Yugoslavia had a tale of two cities thing going on in Eurovision. Up until their withdrawal in 1976, they would experiment in different styles, ranging from medieval folk (Jedan Dan) to progressive rock (Moja Generacija--see #198) to general dark pop (Gori Vatra--#72 for example). Despite this, they had little success with any of them; they had one last run with it in 1981 before switching towards pop (exceptions include Željo moja from 1986 and their swan song Ljubim te pesmama). Dominated by the Croatian broadcaster, it gave them more success, and led to their only win in 1989.

Considering that Yugoslavia would have some seriously strong sports teams if they joined together, I can't say the same about Eurovision. Slovenia had some soft songs as part of Yugoslavia, and then really mixes it up with genres after they broke off (Montenegro too). Bosnia-Herzegovina also has this eccentricity, albeit with a heaviness towards even their greatest songs. Croatia peaked early and slid down into a rabbit hole of mediocrity this decade. And Serbia relied more on their Balkan Ballads, though they have some quirky pieces here and there.

Notably, (North) Macedonia never represented Yugoslavia in Eurovision--they had only one artist win Jugovizija in 1980--when the country didn't participate in Eurovision. But speaking of which...

Lepa Brena: Vratiću Danijelu popularnost!

Lepa Brena: Vratiću Danijelu popularnost!

Pevačica je pozivanjem Danijela Popovića u šou ponovo pokazala da što se nje tiče na estradnom nebu ima mesta za sve one koji imaju dobar glas i znanjem zaslužuju uspeh.

Najveća muzička zvezda bivše Jugoslavije Lepa Brena poslednjih meseci u žiži je interesovanja, kako domaće javnosti tako i javnosti u regionu. Nakon povreda koje je uspešno sanirala vratila se na scenu u svom stilu a na kojoj joj…

Danijel Popovic - Dzuli

YO THAT'S MY THEME SONG!

Makes my day whenever my cousin's friends go Juuuuulie like in the song, haha.

[betweenthetimeandsound]

Aka everybody's favorite Yugoslav entry ever, haha (Though Dzuli is better, in terms of how summery it is)

That said, Hajde da ludujemo deserves the hype it gets! It's fun and energetic, and I always try to do the choreography.

Tajči - Hajde da ludujemo

[youcannotdrinkwithus-blog]

This is legitimately the best video of all time. of ALL TIME!

[unibrowzz]

might be an awkwardly phrased question... but what are some songs you've seen nobody care for except one person you know who seems to love them to bits?

Could probably make another list tbh. I’ll inevitably think of more later.

Portugal 1991- “Lusitania Paixao”

Netherlands 1998- “Hemel en Aarde”

Switzerland 1991- “Canzone per te”

Israel 1982- “Hora”

I also know a guy who stanned Yugoslavia 1983 (”Dzuli”) as much I stan Insieme but I’m pretty sure that song is classed as a meme song somewhere, and Yugoslavia is pretty overrated as a country anyway.

Ireland 2006- “Every Song is a Cry for Love”

Denmark 1995- “Fra mols til skagen”

Also I know someone who likes Jemini’s Cry Baby. Unironically.

Every song really does have its fans eh?
