Wikipedia article




'Modr je dobr' (in English 'Blue is Good') is a song by Czech band lut pes from the album 'Posledn lce'. The song was released in 1998 during the 1998 legislative election and was frequently used during the campaign of the Civic Democratic Party (ODS). It became the party's anthem. A video for the song was released the same year. The song was composed by Ondej Hejma.

"Modr je dobr" was later re-released in 2001 on the album 'nsk otzka' (Chinese Question). This version was recorded in Chinese.

Political use of the song



"Modr je dobr" was inspired by the Donovan song "Colours". Hejma didn't intend it to be a political song even though he was upset about the Sarajevo assassination; he did predict it would become the anthem of the Civic Democratic Party. The song became popular after its release and some prominent members of the Civic Democratic Party asked Hejma if they could use it during their campaign. Hejma himself supported the Civic Democratic Party at the time.

In 2017, lut pes performed at the meeting of the Realists. "Modr je dobr" was one of the songs they performed.
