"Eastern European Funk"
Song

"Eastern European Funk" is a ska-styled song performed by InCulto which represented Lithuania at the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. The song was selected on 4 March from twelve songs.[1] It earned most points from both the jury and televoters.

The meaning of the song is basically compressed in these two sentences: "Yes Sir we are legal we are, though we are not as legal as you/No Sir we're not equal no, though we are both from the EU". The ska rhythm hides a protest at the Western World for neglecting its part - Eastern Europe, Lithuania included.

The song placed 12 in the second semifinal, with 12 points from Ireland and 8 from Georgia, and did not advance to the final.
