So I’ll tell you all here and now; I don’t know jack about Croatia. Hell, I didn’t even know where it was until I checked out the map today. That said, let me see what I can dig up. According to the good ol’ CIA Factbook<\/a>, it’s slightly smaller than West Virginia, and is a recently formed country. They declared their independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. Too early for me to remember anything about international politics at the time.<\/p>\n Also, this just in, Croatia apparently just lost their first match to Brazil this afternoon, 1-0. Fine by me, I picked Brazil in my pool to win :o) .<\/p>\n Levon Levan – I Wonder If She’s Kinky<\/a><\/strong>. I have to give credit where it’s due. Today’s musical wonder from Croatia is Levon Levan<\/a>, the self-described “Croatian Sensation With No Explanation.” I stumbled upon this guy on a recent post<\/a> by Eric<\/a> from MarathonPacks<\/a>. As Eric says, Levan is basically the Croatian Tom Jones… I can’t really believe there are guys like this in the world, but without them I’d have no material to make fun of Croatia with, so I suppose I’m slightly glad he’s around. If you like that song, you should look into the extremely amusing video for “Looking Good,”<\/a> including an incredible metal chorus and horrible accent. Enjoy the track, I can’t guarantee all of them will be this amusing.<\/p>\n
