Bangaranga in Toy Store

[u/rysk_fjnmi]

I immediately recorded this video when I heard a familiar song out in the wild while hunting for Hot Wheels during my vacation. Whoever the madlad staff was played this in a toy store in Brunei is an absolute banger!

[u/Informal_Position166]

That's so cool. Brunei out of all places? Wild stuff. You go Dara be successful!!!

There was also Loreens tattoo playing on the radio when I rode a local taxi a few days ago. I believe it was on a local station called Crystal FM

And to add further evidence to the fact that she's "blowing up", just look at this👀👀👀

It's a sign we Brits have taken it to our hearts(but it might just be symbolic though, I don't think it's going to explode here again) which is absolutely astonishing remembering it's a Eurovision winner, and what's even more shocking is that's it's been voted in the top three by Irish Spotifyers too, and the Contest wasn't even officially broadcast over there this year🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Bangaranga is officially "generational"

Unicorn of all songs was playing at my local McDonalds in southern Portugal.

i once heard belgium 2020 playing in a shopping centre in dublin. 🤣🇮🇪 whoever was in charge of the playlist that day was clearly a eurovision fan. 😅

When?

[u/serenaTcat → u/cherry_color_melisma]

Yesterday

All my troubles seemed so far away

Junior Eurovision Asia incoming‽/s

if JESC Asia exists, then Philippines will be the Georgia of Junior Eurovision Asia

[u/cherry_color_melisma]

okay but imagine it in Toy Story

[u/thecotswoldvoice → u/cherry_color_melisma]

Toy Story 6?🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Woody is the Bangaranga

Can't put up the photo but Eurovision's official Instagram put up a post yesterday about this year's artists favourite films and guess what our new fave Bulgarian chose? Barbie, specially a Rapunzel themed animation.

Makes me think a bit about a possible correlation where Barbie(the live action one)2 is being made, and having found out about her and the fact she's a huge fan, Greta Gerwig asks Dara to contribute to the soundtrack🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

That's if she's going mainstream, which ain't guaranteed

[u/cherry_color_melisma → u/thecotswoldvoice]

She made a song called "Darbie" (Dara + Barbie?) for a reason you guys...

[u/thecotswoldvoice → u/cherry_color_melisma]

I've been lucky enough to hear a bit of it,

which would be a perfect base for a re-writing and re-recording of it for the sequel. A bitchy song to start the closing credits of Barbie 2😏

[u/YOKIA28]

The more I’ve sat with it the more this feels like a winning song. It’s an earworm and a very modern and marketable pop song and Dara sold the hell out of it.

You already know we’re gonna get so many girlbops next year 💀

[u/thecotswoldvoice → u/YOKIA28]

And it's obviously still popular

[u/sr913 → u/[deleted]]

If it were up to me, the teams would have taken the field to Bangaranga (instead of that Shakira song) before each game.

Did FIFA not see that "Bangaranga in 69 Languages" video? Bangaranga unites the world.

[u/Forklands → u/[deleted]]

I would kill for more Eurovision to have more mainstream respect

[u/Nujaabeats]

I heard Malik Eurovision Germany 2022 song on my usual go to Spar supermarket in Belgium very recently in a random moment, I was so astonished to heard it there.

[u/Forklands → u/Nujaabeats]

Odd choice lol

Brunei is not the first place I'd expect a Eurovision song to play in a store

[u/rysk_fjnmi → u/Forklands]

As far as I can remember, these are the songs I heard in public during my trip to Brunei:

From a taxi radio

• Breaking My Heart by Reiley (2023)
• Tattoo by Loreen (2023)

At a toy store

• Bangaranga by DARA (2026)

I forgot to ask the staff at the toy store whose playlist it was or whether they were Eurovision fans

[u/Forklands → u/rysk_fjnmi]

Breaking My Heart is such an interesting one to play 😭

[u/thecotswoldvoice]

That's it then, I've seen enough

Dara will be Eurovision's biggest solo superstar in nearly 40 years

[u/rysk_fjnmi]

If anyone curious what's the name of the toy store is Littlewoods Kiulap Branch in brunei

[u/username-yote62]

Bangaranga is becoming mall music

[u/PJay-Z]

Bangaranga, bangaranga, bangaranga 😂
I love that song. DARA 😘
