Norway NORWAY 2022 - Subwoolfer - Give That Wolf a Banana

[escYOUnited]

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Not sure I told you, but I really like your teeth
That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath
Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
See where you're going, but I don’t know where you've been
Is that saliva or blood drippin' off your chin?
If you don’t like the name Keith I'ma call you Jim
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf (Banana)

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Banana

I like the scent of every meal on your breath
That hunger in you, I'm in danger now, I guess
Let's go to grandma's, you say grandma tastes the best
Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
(I want your grandma, yum, yum)
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wolf
Someone give that wolf a banana

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana

Ba-na-na
Ba-na-na-na-na
Ba-na-na
Ba-na-na-na-na

And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
(I want your grandma, yum, yum)
Someone give that wolf a banana
And before that wolf eats my grandma
Give that wolf a banana
Give that wolf
Give that wo-o-olf

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana
Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum
Someone give that wolf a banana

Not sure I told you, but I really like your teeth
That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath
Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith

fly and made of glass against each other already in the first round?
i hope not - whoever of these 2 loses tomorrow,it will be in my opinium the big favorite in the consolation round.
it would have been better to place one these stronger songs in semi 1 or 2.

This song has everything I dislike about these latin pop "summer songs".
"Bla bla mamacita bla bla don't call me seniorita bla bla bla I'm so loco loco yeah yeah fire oh oh hasta la vista"

I can't believe people haven't accused this of being plagiarism because it sound so familiar. I'm so sure I've heard this before.

It's not plagiarism because it's genreism: You take a genre and make a song out if, with all its typical features. Like so many have done with opera, country, ballads, techno etc in the history of Eurovision.

Yeah and usually I don't mind it/ I'm not buying the plagiarism accusations... but this really sounds exactly like another song I just don't know the name.

She's half-Cuban so it feels a lot more genuine. It does have Despacito vibes but what's to say Fuego or SloMO and countless others don't have Latin sounds/influences too. It's just a genre of music. Also, I don't really recall the accordion sounds in Eurovision before, to be honest!

It's definetly something we haven't heard in Eurovision but I swear especially the accordion part sounds so familiar to me.
I don't know, I usually don't mind "generic" songs, I like both Fuego and SloMo. Also loved El Diablo and Replay. But this... I just don't vibe with it. The stereotypes are really overkill with "Hasta la vista".

 

[Iker]

My top 5 of MDGP. I think one of my top 2 favourites will win, albeit Hammer Of Thor is also a very likely winner, but it is not among my personal favourites.

1. Give that wolf a banana 2. Death of Us 3. Someone 4.Ecstasy (I didn't know one that one can sing like this! It's so chimpmunky and fascinating, and the song is catchy).5. Bad Baby

no chicas?

 

[mauve]

Well, supporting "Fly" today! May the force be with Maria!

 

[jatojo]

Hammer of Thor staging looked pretty good already. It's both not my cup of tea, but I can see both Hammer of Thor and that Subwoolfer song get a good result at Eurovision. Both have the potential to be hyped and go big with at least the televotes.

Idk yet about Death of Us. Could be a Bulgaria from last year. More a juries song. Can see it go to the final as well, but maybe not top 10.

I agree with everything here.

 

[Ringdalen]

Fly is a MGP winning contender so it deserves to go to the final, but I would not be dissapointed if Alexandra Joner made it to the final. Joner is my last place overall in MGP and I never listen to the song all the way through, but she would bring some light to a final that most likely will have 8 very similar songs in style and vibe.

This final is going to be very dark with only Subwoolfer and Kumoji lighting up the stage with some life, but if you take a shot for every piano-intro will you have a really good time.

Melodi Grand Prix. Semifinal #4

Time: 19:55 CET.​

 

[Gera11]

I would be down for any song from this heat tonight except "Made Of Glass". "Fly" is one of my big favourites overall though so go girl

 

[jatojo]

I think Norway have slightly overtaken Finland on my list of favourite national selections. There may be 3-4 songs from those two selections that I wouldn't want to go to Torino. Pretty good out of almost 30 entries.

 

[Hayato]

I can't believe I slept on Fly. It's so atmospheric with the Nordic folk sounds, violins and beautiful lyrics. I hope that's all reflected in the performance and that it comes to life on stage. The only thing I would change is to have it in Norwegian.

Maria reminds me of Helene Bøksle or Christine Guldbrandsen in 2006 with her crystal-clear voice mixed with the violins. Also getting serious Catelyn/Bran Stark vibes from the video (of course I know it's much more serious than that)

Yesss For me it's like a mix between Helene's style and KEiiNO's

I reacted pretty much like I bims above because the song does sound, at least at first glance, like a generic latin pop template ( I liked her "Cinderella" from back in the day so that's why I checked "Hasta la Vista" out) but then I was like, she looks exotic enough she could actually be from some sort of latin/Hispanic background? So if she is, it does at least make it authentic (if still a bit derivative)

Every time we have a slightly dance/pop latino style song someone complains about it, saying how generic it is bla bla, but the same eurofans would gulp down thousands of similar sounding ballads and never complain about their originality

First Duel: Maria Mohn vs Alexandra Joner

Second Duel: Sofie vs Kim Wigaard

 

[Mrm]

Norsk MGP 2022 is so bad!

Burn it down!

 

[Gera11]

Oh no, Maria vs Alexandra, rip Hasta la Vista I guess.
