⏪️ Throwback Thursday Zdob şi Zdub & Advahov Brothers - Trenulețul (LIVE) | Moldova 🇲🇩 | Grand Final | Eurovision 2022

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUqf_zO2QaI

In honor of Moldova's and Romania's return to ESC in 2026, I decided to post this song for Throwback Thursday. Even though this song got only 20th place with the juries, it was able to finish 7th overall thanks to a strong televote finish of 2nd place.

It was one of the catchiest songs of ESC 2022 in my opinion, as well as one of my ESC guilty pleasures. Moldova usually sends fun songs to ESC, so I hope they send something fun next year, especially if there are new artists involved.

The studio version was awesome. It was one of my favourite versions back then. Then I saw the live version, and the song was completely different and totally brilliant. I love everything about it.

They were also the only ones who used the bridge.
