Easy Croaan (rev. 47b) / 14 My and Adjecves in Accusave 88 / 600

uses oko mene, where the form mene will be explained later (it’s in the so-called

genitive case).

The fourth and the fifth line use plural forms, which are not yet explained, but for

masculine adjectives and many masculine nouns, it’s simply -i in N plural.

The sixth line has no racist implications whatsoever: everything around the guy is

black and white, no colors – and colors are perceived as good, i.e. color TV’s were

new and better than old black-and-white ones – and the girlfriend is just a part of

the black-and-white world, i.e. she isn’t anything extraordinary. The seventh line

uses program which can mean many things; my translation as (TV) show is only one

possibility.

You can find various performances on YouTube. Check the performance on A

strana A Side and the original clip.
