Laka's song for Belgrade
Tonight: Bosnia & Herzegovina's song presentation
Tonight in a special BH Eurosong 2008 TV show programme in which the public will hear Elvir Lakovic Laka's song Pokusaj (Try It) for the first time. Laka will represent Bosnia-Herzegovina at the 53rd Eurovisin Song Contest in Belgrade on 20th May 2008 in the first semi final.
After he spent seven days in Zagreb, recording the final version of the song Pokusaj in the studio owned by one of the most popular and most productive rock producers, Denis Mujadzic - Denyken, on 16th February Laka had a mini-concert in Profil Megastore in Zagreb, within the promotion of his first album Zec, published by Menart productions in Croatia.
Having received excellent reactions and comments from both the audience and the critiques, Laka came back to Sarajevo where he is working hard on the presentation and performance of his song scheduled for tonight starting at 21:00 CET live from BHRT Studio A. Laka's original stage performance will be in the hands of Ales Kurt - one of the most famous theatre producers in Bosnia-Herzegovina, while BHT1 producer Slavisa Masic will be responsible for the live coverage of the show.
The show will see one of the greatest stars of folk music in the region, Halid Beslic, as well as brothers Dino and Adnan Saran, leaders of the most successful Bosnian rock bands Letu stuke and Skroz. The Eurovision evening in Sarajevo will also host this year's representatives of Croatia, FYR Macedonia and Slovenia. The special surprise in the show is the performance by the music-stage attraction "Showhat feat. Stepup Dancers" from Finland, led by the fantastic Osku Heiskasen and Jarkko Valteen. "Showhat" will, in their special way" remind us of some of the greatest Eurovision hits. At the end of the show, there will be a press conference in the premises of BHRT, followed by the afterparty.

.jpg)
Not a good song at all!!!
lyrics are HORRIBLE, what's wrong with this guy....
"how many days we spend,
lying down and eating bananas" ????? !!!!!!!! WTF
Can someone please translate the hole song....
Music is good, i like it, but the lyrics.... OMG are you serious!!!
I like it, I would like to here english version.
It reminds me of classic eighties new wave: the Smiths, New Order, Waterboys, Echo and the Bunnymen, that kind of music. But visually it is ruined. They definately should drop the idea of making a funny performance.
terrible song.... whay is he dressed like that????????????? oh my god, this ESC is by far the most dreadful song wise------ terrible.
Odd in a pleasant sort of way...
Can't make up my mind whether I like it or not... pleasant and weird...
english version is so much better ,,,, hope to download it tonight somwhere already
I've made up my mind: I like it in a rather academical way. I won't fall in love with the song, though. And please, tune it down a bit.
Best Video quality guys (horrible song btw)

Love the guy's hair 
Like straight from the 70's...
The song is a bit strange, but ok - and Bosnia has the right to send something funny for a change, after all those melancholic ballads (which were good, especially 2006, but now for something different!)!
True, when I listen to it I buy it totally. Visually I think it's an eccentric mess, frankly. I see this as a classic rock-new wave performance on stage, with the band, guitars and drums and all but no arty farty performance plz.
And I will remember where the melody in the verse comes from, that is so borrowed from elsewhere.
A good, but strange song, and performance!
As of right now, this one works.

I'm going to record it and upload it elsewhere just in case it goes down. Give me a minute and I'll have a download link that will always work regardless of what happens with this.
@ Stian,

http://www.mediafire.com/?yn0tn9hdyjn
@w s
that chicken and hayforks wont be on performance in belgrade. thats for sure. they will do something more serious. well, not very seriously but it will be on high level.
trust me!
this song isnt in VERKA or DUSTIN style. It has very beautiful instrumental part, very nice sound and music. Im very impresed even this is my country song. (sorry on my english.. 
)
where can i hear the english version?
Well, it is a strange song. Right now, I cannot make up my mind whether I like it or not.
ok, here is my youtube link .. it works ...
http://www.youtube.c(...)/watch?v=rfngCKZ3pNo
As much as I like it, I hate the performance. Is it supposed to be funny? I doubt if people from all over Europe will understand it. Why the chicken, why the hayforks, why the robotmoves?
somebody put video on youtube and that video is there, but it is unavaible. why?
did someone of you put that video on youtube?
can you fix it?
please?
Catch/watch it while you can at http://www.youtube.c(...)watch?v=NhEzjT2imeI. Someone just posted it on YouTube, very poor quality, and then it was unavailable, then it happened again with another posting! Not that I miss it at all as it's horrible from any angle you choose to see it, but I'd like to see that rooster (or cockerel or however you choose to call it) again. кукуригу, kykyrikí, üü-ürü-üüü, qui-qui-ri-qui', kukurikú, kukeleegu etc
etc
I loved the english version !! much better than the bosnian one!
