Hipodil is a promotional two-track EP by the Bulgarian rock band of the same name in 2002. The EP is widely known by the name of its first track "Skakauec" (Grasshopper). It was the last official release by the band under the Hipodil name and was sent to radio stations.

Contents

The song was inspired by an incident on the Wheel of Fortune-style game show Risk pecheli, risk gubi! in 2000. A contestant from Pernik was asked to guess the word "СКА_А_Е_", and after responding in the negative to an offer for a "joker", he answered "скакалец", although his accent made the word sound like [skɐkɐˈwɛt͡s] (standard pronunciation is [skɐkɐˈɫɛt͡s] ) - the word turned out to be "скарабей" (scarab, a beetle or an ancient Egyptian artefact).
