i'm still kinda wtf'd by the sudden polish craze over that song.
So am I, even though the fad has worn off a long time ago.
My theory is that, aside from our rather distorted perception of Czech culture fueled by constantly repeated reruns of Czechoslovakian movies from the 60s on TV, this was in fact the first time when someone's discovery of something 'funney'/weird on the internet made it to the mainstream media, and from there it spread like wildfire.
Recently there was a different case involving one of the many remakes of the 'Hitler going nuts' scene from Downfall (BTW it was the best one I've ever seen). Since it was about the sorry state of Warsaw's dance clubs, one of them decided to use some of the more memorable lines from the clip on their promotional posters, along with frames from this gif. Cue the discovery of the remakes by media and a debate about how Hitler is totally not funny with butthurt veterans voicing their disgust with 'kids these days'. The club's owners are getting sued for promoting totalitarian ideology.
