Israel's Teapacks Band May Be Banned in Eurovision Competition
The Israeli band, Teapacks may have their music lyrics banned in the upcoming 2007 Eurovision Song Contest. Apparently, one of the Finnish organizers, Kjell Ekholm objected to some of the lyrics saying that they referred to the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and that political lyrics were not allowed in the competition.According to Teapacks, however, the lyrics are more generic in nature and do not refer to any crazy ruler in particular. The song is sung in three different languages, French, English and Hebrew and it not to be taken literally as it was meant to be tongue-in-cheek.
The 52nd Eurovision Song Contest will be held in Helsinki, Finland at the Hartwall Arena from May 10 - 12, 2007. Finnish band, Lordi won last year's competition and this year 42 countries will be represented in the contest.
