It\u2019s all about singing. Independence as the aim of \u201cSinging revolution\u201d has brought us capitalism with post-colonialism as a paradoxical consequence of political freedom. The capitalism, which replaced the socialism, involves wild privatization, and therefore features of oppression, is stoically persisted as a free will by frightened citizens to disappoint our Western tutors. How come, that grandpa\u2019s Marx\u2019s lessons were so easily forgotten. Or maybe just Marxism as well as Leninism had a bad connotation in Lithuanians mind due to well-known reasons. Capitalism had a positive reception, because of seductive mundane welfare of the market: chewing gum, bananas, jeans, sex, money and… ABBA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even without understanding the text, therefore the lyrics [often the essence of the song], inhabitants of the big state have penetrated theirs bodies with rhythms and melodies of a new utopia. The new utopia of the market became a fetish accepted what was imposed on them as originating in their ‘nature’. The power of Karaoke<\/em> [DIY] enabled people of replay of something that has happen before – they become even no longer aware of their subordination, so the lessons of dialectic and historic materialism were easily forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fascination with Estrada borrows from ABBA\u2019s song \u201cMoney, Money, Money\u201d, which is performed in English by the volunteer employees of LTB – The Lithuanian Savings Bank. LTB is the last state owned bank that was privatized by the foreign investors in 2001. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
