Song meaning of ОЙ ДА (OY DA) by Слава КПСС (Slava KPSS)

Oh boy, where do we even start with this one? "Oy da" by Slava KPSS is a masterpiece of absurdity, combining lyrics about furniture, IKEA, deep diving, and Gorbachev (yes, you read that right). The chorus advises us that when it comes to assembling furniture, sometimes it's just better to say "oy da" (which roughly translates to "screw it") and move on with our lives. The verses are a stream-of-consciousness mishmash of random thoughts and references, from the philosophical question of whether matter has intelligence to Cheburashka shooting at Gena the Crocodile. And let's not forget the bridge, where we're suddenly introduced to some ugly ducks on Swan Islands (what?) before being reassured that it's okay if we can't rebuild our furniture, because sometimes it's where we're not that matters most. Overall, this song is a hilarious mess that somehow manages to be both catchy and baffling at the same time. Oy da!
