Boonika Bate Doba by Zdob Si Zdub Artist: Zdob Si Zdub Song: Boonika Bate Doba This is the very first entry by Moldova in the Eurovision Song Contest. The came 6th in contest in Kiev, Ukraine. Great entry, catchy song, well deserved placing. I still think the song is a bit weird: Bunica bate doba translates to "Grandmama beats drum - A song about a Grandmamma - WTF? She's screaming like Hawkins - WTF?
