There are a number of songs inspired by flamboyant Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis giving him something of a “cult status”… In fact, regardless of one’s musical tastes there may be Varoufakis song for you, assuming you even care:
Rembetiko version…”Yanis good-looking kid, Yanis leventis, Yanis showy… Varoufarastoryteller”
The funky version… Yanis with just one ‘n’… He will wipe out Troika and take Greece out of the crisis… He’s a star and cracks it!
Pop version… “I voted today… I voted (the leftist) coalition… There’s a shock, half of them are from (socialist) PASOK… government tomorrow with Varoufakis’ ministry he’s angry.”
Rock version… “Varoufakis, I’m a man…”
Folk music, song arising from a Thessaloniki rally
