American Reacts to 5Miinust & Puuluup "Nendest..." 🇪🇪 National Performance | Estonia EuroVision 2024

[@kaiknlast]

the Estonian crowd is usually quite reserved so the fact that they are partying to this song is a testament to its popularity! such a fun number, culturally significant and bringing the party to Eurovision. ma armastan teid eesti vennad, 12 points from finland

[@manurar8685]

thanks from estonians

[@HoggyMayhem]

kiitos from Estonians

YES!! Native language Rap band Folk duo and instruments Catchy vibing tune Iconic dance True Eurovision spirit! ❤ ❤ ❤

[@kheldaur2107]

This song rocks, just like Estonia. This should win, hands down. Cheers from Finland.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Cheers. Im excited for this year, so many good submissions!

**Introduction and Verse 1**: The song starts with a denial of drug use, setting a humorous and sarcastic tone. The lyrics describe a scene where the only "bag" on the table is a bag of Lay's chips, humorously contrasting typical drug raid imagery with mundane reality. The mention of finding clothes in the trash and being featured in the police chronicles paints a picture of misfits or underdogs. **Pre-Chorus and Chorus**: The chorus plays with the theme of innocence and misunderstanding. The mention of not knowing drugs, but knowing soft drinks and cider, and confusing vitamins with speed, adds layers of irony. The mention of "clouds and mushrooms - where are your threads?" could symbolize a playful ignorance or a deeper commentary on natural versus synthetic pleasures. **Verses 2 and 3**: These verses continue the theme of avoidance of drugs, not due to disinterest but due to economic status ("because we're not rich"). The lyrics also play with visual imagery, like "glasses are pupils," suggesting that perceptions can be misleading or superficial, and only those "in the front row" truly understand the reality. The song cleverly uses humor and irony to discuss serious topics like drug use and societal perceptions. It keeps the tone light and engaging while poking fun at stereotypes and misunderstandings, making it a clever choice for an international audience at Eurovision. (Five miinust as if one is missing or almost as good as it gets, as there are four rappers” and Puuluup +2 means a wooden sampler basically) Their album if tranlated even by GPT type Ai is so deep that I am reconsidering being: “Külakiigel pole stopperit” on popular streamer. This album title means going round and round in social Estonian context (and to add even more context it means misery and survival that in our culture means love and play)

[@laurisoots8613]

🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍❤🇪🇪

[@lauravolga]

also this is a reference to the show "politsei kroonika" when a woman was like: we have no drugs and and this dress is drom garbage. something something. Also dance is from island Vormsi. One of the guys from Puuluup is from there.

[@foggyfrogy]

the dark horse of this year in my humble opinion

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Good Call!

[@yordlemingler]

the lyrics is basically " we don't know anything bout ( them") drugs...leave it for the rich people", lowkey dont do drugs kids vibe but a banger version, it has so much more meaning in native than the googltranslate version

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh excellent! Thank you so much.

[@Sabestooo]

5 miinust means 5 lines 😉

[@MonteXMat]

Phenomenal 😂 They're absolutely this year's winners in my eyes. Greetings from Poland!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Greetings

[@Luna-ii4mx]

I love them x'D their dance is amazing, i wanna dance with them

[@martinkuuben3559]

The Puuluup guys, the ones with instruments, are professors of folk music. The group 5miinust is a rap group. It's a very magical mixture, but I feel like the youtube video doesn't bring the music through properly. Hopefully at Eurovision that won't be a problem.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah it's going to be great seeing them on stage!

[@barvdw]

Puuluup (the 2 guys with the old instruments) played on Dranouter a few weeks ago, these guys are great. We couldn't understand a word, but their understated humour, their great harmonies, and of course, the traditional instruments, they were a real hit with the crowd.

[@Paivipkk]

I like! We need fun!🤪😁 And I like a man's vocals with a testo sound. 💪 Greetings from Finland 💖

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Greetings, welcome!

[@skyefab]

These guys are really fit - you'd have to be, to be jumping around like that and singing at the same time and in tune. Wow. Great song! I play it all the time to do chores.

[@ShieldmaidNan]

Group name... You nailed it! 🤣 I will lovingly call this group "5 Minute Pull-ups." 😂 This song had a fun beat and they were all having a blast with the audience! Good video, Dane! 👍

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Nailed it!! Turned a group name into a WOD!! This was enjoyable and they seemed happy and were having a great time. All the band teachers!

[@tavikas]

There are two musical groups doing joint effort. "5 miinust" and "puuluup". And the name is simply group names and an "and" inbetween..

[@Alina77777]

5 minute pull-ups is genius lmaoo

[@MaieHeidemann]

Thank you! Loving your reaction to our song! I think our this year’s performance is full of positive energy and makes people wanna dance and have fun! 🎉🎉🎉

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Agreed. This was fantastic

[@MaieHeidemann]

​​​@@DaneBramageROCKSand I'm so looking forward seeing them on the ESC stage. 5 Miinust guys are very cool but I don't know them so well but I'm sure they are awesome. Puuluup guys with the instruments they are just so very sweet and nice guys. I love going to their concerts. It's always a lot of fun. And fun fact...Puuluup always wears suits when they are performing. So its not just to look cool on this ESC stage...they are real things and very authentic all the way. ❤❤🎉🎉

[@MaieHeidemann]

​@@DaneBramageROCKSI just love how cheerful they make you while you are listening them 😊😊🎉🎉🎉

@@MaieHeidemann I am as well! This is going to be fun!

[@emokter8577]

This song was no.1 streamed song in Estonia for/prior two months before national final. That's why everybody singing alone. And that's not easy, even for native speakers. It is not a ballad 😅😅😅

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh that makes sense!! AWESOME

​@@DaneBramageROCKSWe don't know nothing about drugs,only green stuff on our summer cottage table are green chips. ......group is called "Viis Miinust".

[@adinfinitum1879]

[@adinfinitum1879]

Puuluup means magnifying glass for a tree. Puu-tree,luup- magnifying glass. Crazy,yes!

[@PalsIllimar]

Its a collaboration of Estonias very popular rap band and folk band. My kid love it and me too. The title translates to: we definetly dont know nothing about these drugs.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

I have been dancing to this! ❤️

[@anetepaulakrinicka7830]

Fun fact. There is a video footage of backstage on finals. When Estonia and Croatia were preforming. Other artists, who represented countries in Eurovision finals, all of them danced in a backstage with them.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Awesome. Also have seen the production crew dancing during their performance

[@VIRMALINE108]

Dance is from VORMSI island, folk dance. Instrument is also from Vormsi island.

[@chiasanzes9770]

I love those songs as well Azerbaijan song is amazing beautiful and enchanting with ethnic sound. I think both Norway and Azerbaijan are dark horses in this year.

[@SideKickStudios]

An Estonian here, loved your reaction and to help my fellow man out, you pronounce their name as: (read as you would in English) - "Wees meen-ust (the U pronounces as the O in 'cool') & Poo Loop". It translates roughly to: Five minuses and wooden magnifying glass.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Oh perfect, Thank you.

[@rhondamoore4885]

That is so helpful

[@aimurtaim]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Thanks for the response? By the way, the word "luup" has two meanings: a magnifying glass and also a small wooden sailboat.

The MOST fantastic performance at Eurovision this year, I cannot stop playing this, wonderful, don’t be influence by the results as this contest just mega political and biased. These guys gave us so much JOY, love the dance, I want to join lol and visit Estonia if this is the vibe, well done guy, we love this song!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

AGREED!!

[@kintverity1335]

5miinust is one of the most popular bands in Estonia and this masterpiece is a one-off collaboration with Puuluup, who are a relatively obscure (until now!) folk duo. The song is called “We (really) don’t know anything about (these) drugs’” and it talks freely and openly about recreational drug use and raids on drug dealers and what bastards the cops can are, ruining everyone’s high when they show up.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Boom!! That is what I was looking for. Thanks so much for clarifying that.

[@johannnar6239]

@@DaneBramageROCKS that’s not exactly the right explanation, it’s more about being anti-drugs, saying they don’t know what drugs are & how they don’t mind the police because they’ve got nothing the police could catch them out for :) Examples are the chorus “I don’t know drugs, I only know lemonade and cider - I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between vitamins and speed” and “Russulas & champignons, where’s your mycelium? You fire up my body like a kitchen stove” (preferring food mushrooms over psychedelic ones). And also the line about only having IPA (type of beer) on their backstage tables, again saying they don’t do drugs, if anything then alcohol. Similarly the chorus says “We’ll be partying tonight - you’ll hear us tonight - but take that bag away” once again saying no to drugs.

[@arturepler2568]

Puuluup werent that obscure, they were gaining popularity before the collaboration with 5MIINUST, in 2022 they even won 2 Estonian Music Awards for the best Folk / Ethno album and band of the year.

[@jangmo9861]

actually they said that this song is just the first song of a collabarition album

[@EEX97623]

Puuluup weren't obscure, they've been around a long time and very well known in Estonia. Also their Õunaviks label based in Tallinn featuring big names such as Mari Kalkun and Marja Nuut. Greetings from Estonia.

[@littleblackpistol]

If you would like to check out some more amazing and culturally relevant Estonian tunes, I would love it if you would react to the sfamous Estonian song Oma laulu ei leia ma üles sung by Heli Lääts, which was recorded in the 1960s, and then react to the modern Estonian metal band Metsatoll covering the song in the live video katsuekonsert, in support of Ukraine.

[@HarrietVaht]

They are basically two bands that joined each other, 5Minust is very popular in Estonia, young people loved them very much and everyone knows them, but then they decided to do a concert with Puuluub and 5- one member left and now they made a song together.

[@xyz7572]

I really love when Eurovision songs are in the country’s native language and when they bring their own musical heritage and traditional instruments into it. Estonia had an amazing song this year!!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Same and Agreed

[@maarjaojamaa1929]

You have such a great and warm vibe and I looooove that you found our song and you pick up the vibe from it so well:):) I wish you would understand the lyrics , it creates an extra level to it. Hope it goes for the win!!:):) P.s. i also love this super cute way you pronounce our language. It s compeltely not correct but soooo cute at the same time:)

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Hi there and you so much!! This is a wonderful comment and I truly appreciate the grace. I do my best but have fun with it. I'm rooting for this group. Welcome to the channel.

Fun fact! The guy who looks like Vsauce also has another artist name than puuluup. The name is pastacas

5 spelled as word is "viis" in Estonian. It is pronounced close to how you'd say the letter V in English (vee ) but an S in the end, S is not voiced as z, its only hissing sound, not zz sound.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Yeah this one get me good, LOL. Thank you.

[@Omnomnomnivore.]

Estonian is a difficult language, so you deserve kudos for even attempting it! I’m looking forward to hearing how all the commentators pronounce the song title 😂😂😂

They did, I agree.

[@mareksarul856]

That was great final this year, so many countries did sing in their own language and I like it. Some songs sound better in native language, than in English. Estonia and Lithuania this year surprised me.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

This was one of those that should have done way better. It is on my playlist regardless.

[@r4haru]

Your reactions are always fun to watch! Since you love rock, it would be awesome to see you react to Estonia's 2nd place entry, "My Friend" by Ollie. It's one of my favorite songs from the national finals this year!

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you and great to know!! I'll check it out.

[@kessekesse9544]

I love your reaction video, your interesting comments, your energy and the warm support to the song of my country! Yes, the pronounciation is completely wrong, but never mind (you should pronounce it "poo loop") 😂 This bunch has helped to keep up the party spirit of many parties in Estonia.

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you so much! I enjoyed this and I am excited to see them perform at the contest. Thanks for explaining all that as well, Cheers!

[@skyefab]

Nice reaction! There are some lyric videos for this song with translation as well. If you like rock music you should check out OLLIE - the runner up for Eesti Laul 2024 and 2023 - with "My Friend" and last year's "Venom" ✌️

[@DaneBramageROCKS]

Thank you! This was AWESOME. I'll check it out.

[@skyefab]

@@DaneBramageROCKS YW! Another rock band you might be interested in is "Boamadu" with "Mitte Kauaks" (official video); they played in Eesti Laul a few years ago - the lead guitarist is amazing! Estonia hasn't sent a rock band yet to Eurovision so we'll see. I'm happy with this year's winner though! ✌️

[@skyefab]

@@DaneBramageROCKS Last year OLLIE with "Venom" went up against "Bedwetters" with "Monsters" and ALIKA with "Bridges" in the Superfinal (3 acts) and I think the two rock acts cancelled each other out. I was choked that OLLIE didn't win but ALIKA of course was a good choice as well (ballad). She brought her own piano to Liverpool. "Bedwetters" with "Monsters" is a pretty good act too 🎸🎶

[@arva1kes]

It means 5 minuses cause there originally were 5 guys. For prononuciation its not west for sure. Use google to ask for 5 minuses translation and then voice. And other band is woodloop if translated because they use looping in theyr production and have old wooden instrument.
