The article comments on the interesting and dangerous game of Bulgarian poetry with Aesop’s language at the end of the 70s, the beginning of the 80s in the person of Miryana Basheva and the double existence of the lyrical work and as a musical pop hit. The fate of the “Shturtzite” song “Futurologist” based on Basheva’s poems is traced and the masks of social utopias and aesthetic ironies as messages and ideas are commented on. In the end, it comes to the conclusion that the lyrical work, not without the merits of the handwriting of the so-called light writing, returns to his atavistic singing role in pop music and pop hits.
Keywords: Futurologist, pop music and pop hits, Bulgarian poetry, Basheva’s poems
