⏪️ Throwback Thursday Knorkator - Ick wer zun Schwein (Germany NF 2000)

https://youtu.be/o2YRLLA95Z8?si=zxhdS3Sil_sU7DKI

This is one of those national final entries that were ahead of their time in Eurovision terms.

Sure, ESC Gabe can tell you about the endeavours of Winny Puhh, however, their predecessors from Germany should no go unnoticed because they left quite a mark in Eurovision history.

Even though "Wadde Hadde Dudde Da" is a pretty good entry, this is up there with the best guilty pleasure songs in the history of Eurovision national finals.

Also there is quite a lot to digest in terms of the actual message...

Remember watching it on tv as a child back then. One of the few NF songs which left an impression on me.
I kinda would like to see Knorkator to try it it again. Not just because I love their music, but I really trust them to understand the contest and provide a really good entry.

The lyrics read like a poem out of Struwwelpeter.

So glad Knorkator are still making music. They are so weird and I love it.
