I like this song, but don't be fooled by this Russian duet. They are not actually a lesbian couple in real life as portrayed in the video and in general. In truth they were cherry picked via auditions by the producers that created the group (who they later split from) and who apparently liked a good scandal. It is fabricated, but not without art or value. They actually left their producers in the name of focusing on making music, not scandals.
I never knew about the odd acronym of a name until I read this…
"…the producers decided on the name Тату (Tatu). It is a shortened version from the Russian 'Eta devochka lyubit' tu devochku', meaning 'This girl loves that girl'. For the release of their first English-language album, they decided to go by t.A.T.u., using uppercased letters and periods to differentiate between an already existing Australian band also named 'Tatu.'"
Although lesbianism may be more accepted where I come from in the USA, there is still the common notion that homosexuals are just crazy people, hence the lines:
Mother looking at me
Tell me what do you see?
Yes, I've lost my mind
Fortunately music and movies, like this group, are helping to break those misconceptions.
