Romanian label Alla balla records has recently released an album inspired by the Romanian National selection 2007 but with a twist. The new cd, that is already on sale in most stores all around Romania that, wants to emphasise the problems Romania had during their last national selection and maybe the unlucky 13th position they ended up with in the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest in Helsinki.

The album is titled “Euroghinion-Selectia nasoala 2007”(Eurobad luck-Bad Selection 2007) and it contains 12 songs, all taken from the 2007 Romanian national final. The lyrics of the songs were re-written in a funny way while the music and the style of the songs have been slightly changed to remind the Romanian folklore music called “manele”. The album also contains the song that represented Romania in Helsinki, “liubi liubi I love you” but in this "unique" cd is sung by Locomotoare. Actually, all the names of the groups and of the singers are changed in a funny way, "Sample vs E.Type" perform Dracula my love, "Nike" – Dulce amaruie and "Efect Zero" –Sinada.

Romania has achieved good placings in the past years, especially with Sistem and Luminita Anghel in 2005 whenthey reached the third place and of course in Athens in 2006 with Mihai Traistariu where he ended up 4th while in Helsinkithey got the “unlucky” 13th position with 84 points.
