From the (Ukrainian) frontman, Eugene Hutz:
“It’s one of the very few songs I wrote for a girl. I just moved in with my girlfriend in New York. We had a neighbour: an old woman who was always dressed in purple head to toe. She was clearly bonkers. So whenever my girlfriend and I had an argument and she would start screaming at me, I would say: you might as well start wearing purple now.”

Gogol were the most energetic and crazy live show I’ve been to. Love them
Absolutely! Gypsy Punk forever ✊
ETA: Also check out Monotonix. Israeli punk band with similar energy.
Oh, they are positively filthy, I second this rec!
I saw them live in Nashville one time. I think they were on-stage for a total of 1 minute for the entire 45min show. At one point, the guitarist is up on the bar stomping on the kick drum playing a tune, while the actual drummer is laying on the floor in his undies getting a full trash can dumped on him by the frontman. Meanwhile, bassist comes out of nowhere from a balcony on top of the guitarist.
One of the best shows I’ve ever been to.
You can easily fit the lyrics to the the theme song for the Brady Bunch to this bop
