Baby Lasagna — real name Marko Purišić — wasn’t originally picked for Dora 2024. But earlier this week producers from Croatia’s national broadcaster revealed that Zsa Zsa had withdrawn and that they were replacing her with a slice of lasagna.
Now the “Rim Tim Tagi Tim” singer is making the most of it. In a matter of days he’s emerged as an international fan favourite. We got him on Zoom for a quick kiki about his surprising journey, which, he says, left him unable to properly digest his food.
Among other things he reveals that his song was inspired by the mass exodus of young people from Croatia. As the lyrics go…
“Now don’t call, don’t write
I’m leavin’ with the first light
Don’t cry, but dance
Rim-tim-tagi-digi-dim-dim-tim”
