I discovered Little Big form a friend in Czech Republic who was familiar with Eastern European music and he exposed me to some Russian made songs. It’s just every time when I was shown one of Little Big’s music videos, I always had the same reaction: What the hell did I just watch? The lyrics were a joke and didn’t have much meaning, until you joined it with the music videos.
This is a story of Kim Jung-un, dictator and Supreme Leader of North Korea, falling in love with a missile. Happiness ensued and he started dating it, making out with it and other romantic preoccupations. Kim is devastated when a soldier came in the hotel room and snatched the bomb. It was denotated and it took off much to the happiness of the soldiers, however Kim Jung-un was devastated in tears surrounded by a happy army celebrating the launch of the missile.
The song itself is quite repetitive with constant repeating of “Lolly Bomb”. It was an obvious mockery of the Lolly Pop candy. Depending on how you listen to the song, you can hear both. A sort of McGurk effect if you will. Of course, there’s the occasional romantic expression such as “I never had to chance to tell you how, feels like you’re a part of me”.
Of course, Kim ends up falling in love with a bigger bomb after the break up.
The musical style of this track is obviously Trance. It’s heavily electronic with almost no traditional instruments. This style gets stronger and stronger as it progresses. This is especially obvious before the chorus is repeating one last time.
The music and the video are inseparable and this is what I’m including.
