Omaga
2021 song by Benny Cristo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Omaga" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by Czech singer Benny Cristo. It represented the Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.[2][3] Much like its predecessor "Kemama" being a shorthand for "OK, Mama", the title "Omaga" is a shorthand for "Oh My God". The music video contains references to The Simpsons, Grease, The Shining, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and Dirty Dancing, amongst others.[4]

Eurovision Song Contest
The song was selected to represent Czech Republic in the Eurovision Song Contest 2021 in February after Benny Cristo was internally selected by the national broadcaster Czech Television. The semi-finals of the said contest featured the same line-up of countries as determined by the draw for the 2020 contest's semi-finals. On 20 May 2021, Czech Republic was placed into the second semi-final and performed in the first half of the show.[citation needed]
