#34. Serebro - Mama Lover - 7.017

500x500.jpg


Highest: 10 x 5 (@Animalia, @unnameable, @Remorque, @phily693, @sfmartin)

Lowest: 3 x 2 (@tylerc904, @eyeline)

Song Charted: #1 Russia // #1 Belgium // #6 Italy // #49 Japan // #38 U.S. Electronic/Dance (Global Impact ddd)

Mama Lover is widely considered their signature song and its also one of their most successful commercial single, being the first to chart outside Russia since Song #1. It was actually written by Queen Olga herself. That U.S. Dance Chart placing is important because it became the first Russian song to land on any Billboard chart since t.A.T.u.'s "All The Things She Said". What kind of iconic company is that?

The music video got rave reviews from critics and internet fans alike, with critics pointing towards "the simplicity of the video combined with the edgy and provocative nature of the girls". With over 34 million views, it has become one of Russia's most viewed music videos. Some 'un-fun' people have criticized the actions of the girls in the video and for the presence of a condom, swearing, and Olga's careless driving. I'm sure Elena showing her underwear didn't help matters from that standpoint, which is why the video is partially censored. (Probably in case Elena accidentally showed us more)

(9) (7) - My 7 at the time meant that I enjoyed the song, but mildly...or so I thought. It has since become ingrained in me. I was more fascinated by the video for obvious reasons. Olga and Elena rule the front seats of that car like the queens they are and damn they're so sexy. How do you expect me to resist their charms? To me the song became deceptively catchy because I thought it was too simple without anything to really latch onto at first and I incorrectly considered the chorus to be too repetitive, but I found out it's just repetitive in all the right ways. The retro instrumentals used throughout, hooked me in criminal ways as well.

Time for you to go back to Sunset Beach, Nadine.

(2) - Okay it's a BIG no for Serebro...

Baby Spice, again. know me all too well.

(8.5) - Hey, Hazey, it’s your favorite video! Serebro’s trademark sound seems to be ridiculous bangers with lyrics I can barely make out, and I think I love it.

Diana, I really just think that it's a vocoder.

(9) - Brilliant video and a total jam. Too bad for that male voice ruining the chorus a bit.

I actually live for how Mutya stans for the 'craziest' songs in this rate.

(9) - We can rate the original, superior Russian version that sounds like "mama luber" right? That's what seems to be playing under the "Mama Lover" title on this Spotify playlist anyway. Banger either way, who cares.

Heidi correctly points out how fiscally responsible they are.

(10) - Keep your seatbelt on ladies! An excellent example of the “film inside a car to save money” genre

Let's have Inna and Alexandra do a similar video soon. PLEASE!

I caught Michelle at the right time with this rate.

(10) - That chorus is massive and highly addictive! I can’t remember how I discovered this but it was only very recently and it has been one of my most played songs ever since. It’s just incredibly infectious and ridiculously fun. The sax parts never fail to make me lose it!

I'm betting Ally is one of those people they thinks because I play GTA, I'm going to go out random killing sprees.

I'm screaming at this video having so many dislikes cause it's glamourising reckless driving kiiiiiiiiiii

Diana is back to provide us with an honorable mention:

Well at first I was like I would mention something from Danity Kane, Monrose or even t.A.T.u., because they arenot part of this rate as they had their own ones recently. Then I wanted to stan my life out for 'Like Whoa' for Aly & AJ, but in the back of my mind one song keeps coming back. I suggested it as being part of the rate, but because it isnot sung in English it was excluded and I fully understand. So this isnot shade picking it. It truly is an iconic song: Serebro - Dyshi. Formerly known as song #2. It is in their native language Russian and is a protest against pollution and serves as an environmental protest. A geographer like me cannot be more blessed with a song like this.

But what had me completely captivated was the music video. So striking and in line with the song's message. The desolation of the oceans is the most prominent, but also destruction of the land is featured. 'Dyshi' means 'Breathe' and it reflects that men are keeping this world to 'breathe'. The English working title was 'Breathe With Me' and a demo has been floating around, which is sonically similar to the original. However an official release sadly never came and therefore couldnot be part of this rate. But if it was, I would have harassed our lovely host until he added it.

Mama Lover is life changing, deserved a much higher place. I will always be in debt to DJHazey for introducing it to me. I remember listening to it for the first time walking back from the hairdressers. When I first heard that horn section in the bridge I was taken to another stratosphere, so much so that I nearly walked into speeding traffic. But then when it repeats itself after the final chorus I felt so joyful that I considered walking back into the traffic purposively because life probably wouldn't get any better than that, better to end it all there and then.

Thank god I didn't though as Play - Famous was next on the playlist and I could experience true euphoria all over again.

You could not be more right by asking this very question. Why do you all hate fun?















































































































Why do all hate the EU section of this rate?

(10) - I'm hoping that y'all will GO IN HARD against the haters, because it feels so wrong not to have this legendary act in the Top 20 somewhere. I'm surprised that this song won for them, because I would've had my money on Karma, but then again it seems like this has had better luck on plug.DJ for me; you can tell by the members who gave this a 10. I'm also fairly certain these are all fairly new 10s, so yaaaaaaas at the amount stockholm syndrome fun that these lovely voters were infected with. We all know what we're dealing with here because this song is absolutely bonkers, gives no fucks, eats the cake and doesn't whine about it (iconic line), and just goes the fuck awf. I mean this is live footage of most people when they first experienced the first drop:

HCoHEAV5RmQrwdJPLfNR_Aretha%20Franklin%20Wig%20Remove.gif


Will we ever have another group like Stockholm Syndrome? Well this rate has helped me realize Serebro might be the closest, but we had to go and etch both their names out entirely and we had do it back to back, didn't we?

Judging by the headaches suffered, Nicola probably won't remember this one either.

(4) - Parts of it is REALLY good, but the majority of this song gives me a headache. Loving the Stockholm Syndrome hoodies, though.

0KZSIZ9.png


Someone better talk to Normani before I do because imma hurt her feelings.

(5) - I thought Stockholm Syndrome was a male DJ like Calvin Harris?!

Oavaix3.png


Well we're on year three and it's still going strong for me.

(6) - this will sound unlistenable in 5 years time.

KPHueHK.png


I'll let Meghan Keisha be all about that bass.

(6) - Most of the points here are for the bassline alone.

Rd7LLKD.png


Mutya is screaming random words and getting her life like the rest of us.

(8) INCOMPREHENSIBLE SLIGHTLY FRIGHTENING BANGER

bhcn77T.png


Age is just a number, Kelly.

(8) - This is fucking amazing, I can imagine getting absolutely mashed to it in a field aged 17.

nYt8Mgg.png


I wonder if this became even better for Michelle after she had time to wrap her around it.

(8) - I love the manic and bizarre nature of it. At its core it’s a total pop song, and I really like it. I wish they dialed back the craziness and noise a tad.

thSrEb0.png


Mollie needs google-translate, but is still living for the discovery.

(10) - Officially scalped by this song. Great production and I’m in love despite having no idea what the fuck kalabalik means!?

It means exactly what the song causes: UPROAR

yxHFGCR.png


Mel is pretty much making a promise that she gave some 10s later in the countdown.

(10) - Incredibly Neon Jungle. Love it!

Z9GCZhl.png


Baby Spice exposes the reason I thought Karma would be the #1 song here.

(10) - My Stockholm Syndrome fave… I wish you’d sent this one to the PJSC the first time around while you could still get away with it!

I still finished 8th in that PJSC!

eGYKjLS.png


Diana changed the game 50 years ago and yet she likes to point out when people are doing the same today.

(10) - For the life of me, this GOES IN HARD (pun intended). This is how a dubstep/drop should be implemented in a song. That rap-middle 8 is showing current rapster in the game how it should be done.

YAS.

To all the haters, listen to this guy because he has a prediction about your fate. The "he" is me.

Mama Lover is amazing. I'm surprised I didn't give it a 10, but then again there are a few songs by them that weren't included that are a lot better. They're a very interesting group.
