The song Poupata by Michael David (62) was one of the biggest hits of the spartakiade, which took place in Strahov Stadium in 1985. The hit is still associated with the mass public gym performance, and here and there someone appears who criticizes it and associates it with the communist regime of the time.
But Michal David doesn’t think so. He himself definitely does not consider the Spartakiad to be a proletarian event, according to him, on the contrary, it was very popular among the people. “Poupata was not a proletarian song at all, the spartakiade was an event where everyone wanted to go, I know that we toured the regions and districts and there the girls cried when they didn’t get to Strahov, it was a huge enthusiasm.” said Michal David in the Super.cz program In truth.
Michal David also talked about a sad family secret in the show Po pravda. Divorce of parents and separation from sister
“Back then it was taken differently than today, it wasn’t like we were singing proletarian songs,” says David. Paradoxically, he himself does not have Poupata among his most popular songs, even today it is one of his biggest hits.
“Poupata was a song that didn’t really grow on me, because it’s such a brass band, and I don’t really need it,” revealed David, saying that he’s more jazz-oriented. “I don’t like Buds as much as, say, The Greatest of Lost and Found or songs from Disco Story,” he added. ■
