Jožin z Bažin was written by Czech musician and comedian Ivan Mládek for his Banjo Band and released in the late 1970s, telling the story of a monster from the swamps near Vizovice who can only be stopped with powdered spray from a crop duster plane. The song became a cult favourite in Czechoslovakia and later found a second life in Poland and online, where its catchy chorus was shared as a meme, remixed, subtitled and used to soundtrack comic chases and swamp monster jokes.
