"The body is healthy, so what do we do now?"
I've known about the song before I got in the SCP fandom, and I've been plotting art of this since August.

Round 2 Side B
I like bananas (because they have no bones): The blog runne'rs one choice. i put this in because it's the song that is the entire reason this bracket exist, they truly were singing about some wild shit even back in the 30's. if you like this blog then consider voting for this song because THEY LIKE BANANAS BECAUSE THEY HAVE NO BONES
in corpore sano: In Corpore Sano was the Serbian Eurovision entry in 2022. I think that when a lot of people think of Eurovision, they think of key changes and big pop songs about love, so a song like this is a huge song of whiplash. It's essentially a critique of the Serbian healthcare system, but also - and more importantly - about peoples' obsession with health. It's about how people become so, so obsessed with their body and having a healthy body - diets, exercise, you know - that they become depressed and obsessive. The song ends by saying: "Corpus je sanum i šta ćemo sad? Mens infirma in corpore sano Animus tristis in corpore sano Mens desperata in corpore sano Mens conterrita in corpore sano I šta ćemo sad?" Which translates to "The body is healthy, so what do we do now? A sick mind in a healthy body A sad soul in a healthy body A desperate mind in a healthy body A frightened mind in a healthy body So what do we do now?" The performance used religious imagery, and people have talked about how it also shows that mental health problems are often dismissed in parts of Serbia and are said to be cured with religion, but for the most part, it's about the focus on having a healthy body. But in terms of the actual music? It's weird as fuck as well. I think it's near to impossible to place this song in a standard genre. Google told me the genres are Indian Film Pop and Classical? Wikipedia told me it's avante-pop and art pop which is probably what I would have described it as, but my god it's one of the weirdest and most brilliant songs ever.
monsieur: Song is from the POV of a Butler (or some other domestic servant). He describes his master as someone respected by neighbors, liked by animals, who cheers up a crying child and helps a blind man crossing a street. This master tends to roses, and sometimes, he kills people. This butler narrator is working for a serial killer. He seems totally fine with cleaning up crime scenes and other related duties. He also sounds pretty respectful of the "Monsieur" he's working for. At the end of the song, the "Monsieur" gets hanged and the narrator, now jobless, asks the judge who condemned his late master to hire him as a servant.
