Question: In which year was this Lithuanian politician elected Prime Minister for the first time, for whom  several parodies of the song Jožin z bažin were made?

The Swedish constitution of 1974 allows the Prime Minister of Sweden to appoint one of the Ministers in the cabinet as Deputy Prime Minister ("biträdande statsminister", also unofficially known as "vice statsminister", "Vice Prime Minister"), in case the Prime Minister for some reason is prevented from performing his or her duties.  However, if a Deputy Prime Minister has not been appointed, the Minister in the cabinet who has served the longest time (and if there are several with equal experience the one who is oldest) takes over as head of government.  Note that the person acting as Prime Minister does not do so on a permanent basis: if a Prime Minister dies, resigns or loses a vote of confidence in the Riksdag, the Speaker of the Riksdag will then confer with the parties of the Riksdag and propose a new Prime Minister, who must be tolerated by a majority of the Riksdag.  If the Prime Minister has resigned or lost a vote of confidence, he or she will remain the head of a government "ad interim" until the new Prime Minister assumes his or her office.  The only case where the governmental line of succession becomes relevant is when the Prime Minister dies (upon which the person next in the line of succession serves as the head of a government "ad interim") or when the Prime Minister is on leave or for any other reason incapable of serving, but still remains in office.  This might be compared to the Presidential line of succession in the United States, where the person next in line assumes the Presidency throughout the remainder of the term if the President dies, resigns or is impeached. <SEP> Andrius Kubilius (born 8 December 1956) is a Lithuanian politician who was Prime Minister of Lithuania from 1999 to 2000 and again from 2008 to 2012.  He was leader of the conservative political party Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats. <SEP> Ivo Pešák (7 September 1944 – 9 May 2011 ) was a Czech singer, dancer, and comic performer.  He is perhaps best known for his work with Ivan Mládek, in the latter's "Banjo Band", and particularly for his high-spirited performance in the viral video phenomenon, "Jožin z Bažin". <SEP>  He even called it the "National Anthem" of his TV show "Countryshow".  In January 2008, the song became popular in Poland, winning several radio hitlists.  It is also popular in Hungary, Austria and Russia, sporting a cult following on blogs, and several versions of various translations.  The song is a surreal tale of a mysterious man-eating monster living in the swamps (Jožin z bažin, Joey from the swamps).  In the song, the monster is eventually defeated with the use of a cropduster.  A Polish cabaret called Kabaret pod Wyrwigroszem created a parody of "Jožin z bažin", entitled "Donald marzy" ('Donald dreams'), about the Polish prime minister, Donald Tusk.  The Russian band "Мурзилки International", made a Russian parody under the title "Путин едет в Пикалёво" ("Putin goes to Pikalyovo"), about Russia's former prime minister and current president, Vladimir Putin. Jožin z bažin (originally 1977) is a song by Czech musician and comedian Ivan Mládek, and is among his best known songs.  There is a Serbian version of the song: "Medo Brundo" - Brundo the Bear.  There are also several parodies of the song in Lithuanian, which are mainly about the country's most nefarious politicians and about the unpopular prime minister Andrius Kubilius.  The Ivan Mládek Banjo Band created a Polish version of "Jožin z bažin".  The nearest equivalent musical style in English is that of the Wurzels.
