Do you still remember the famous boy bands groups from the 90s? Like, Take that or Backstreet boys? The girls were going crazy, and every boy wanted to be like Nick from the Backstreet boys. Thousands of new boy bands had appeared over the globe in that era. All of them seeking celebrity and female fans. Some were successful, some not. No wonder that the Russians had their copies too. And there is one, in particular, that was very ...hm... original: Steklovata band and their hit: Novi God.
The Word "steklovata" means glass wool. What a great name for a group, hug? What a bright idea to use a construction material for a band name. I am sure all the 12-year old girls would understand the more profound message.
The "Novi god" which means New Year is a festive song and the band's greatest hit. Listen to it:
Many people think they are Russian, but actually, they are not. They came from Estonia (you do know where Estonia is, right?).
There are a lot of things that make this boys epic. Take a look at their outfit - it is clear they wear designer clothes. If anybody knows the name of that famous Russian designer, please let me know. I'd like to make some purchases from him.
I'd like to have contact with their personal hairdresser. And - if possible - the number of the 3rd boy's dentist (the one with a beige suit with a black strip). Please share.
What about the background video effects? I believe the overall budget for this production was over 1M.
But the funny thing about all is that they were not just a group of bored boys from the neighborhood who had an idea to make a boy band. No, no, no - according to what we can find on the net, they were a part of a project led by a composer Sergei Kuznetsov.
The band had only one singer at the beginning and then added another one. So - the steklovata was a duo. For the Novi God's purposes, they added two more singers.
The hit was released in 2002 and uploaded to Youtube in 2007. By now, it has almost 3 million views. The surprising fact is that so many parodies have been made for this song. Listen to some of them:
And, of course - the text of the song:
By the time the candles are lit. In every house and in every window He came to a festive night
Let the blizzard outside and the wind But even they smile at me And the sound of the hour in a festive night
New year, new, new, new Everyone dreams! New year, new, new, new we remember? New year, new, new, new Spare no candles! New year, new, new, new New Year! New Year! New Year! New Year! New Year!
Christmas tree decorated with gold,
Tonight, the city has become a fairy tale, A sea of lights in a festive color.
The sweet smell of green gains Long months of our dream Let the storm to give me a breeze!
New year, new, new, new Everyone dreams! New year, new, new, new Let’s remember? New year, new, new, new Spare no candles! New year, new, new, new New Year! New Year! New Year! New Year! New Year!
New Year, new year, new year New Year, new year, new year New Year ..
