Trouble a (He)brewing...

Israel chose their entry this week. Teapacks, one of those "zany" type groups will sing Push The Button. No, not the Sugababes song, but a song about a much more relevant matter. Nuclear war.

Now it's a song with a difference a WORLD away from Israel's latest few entries and it has already caused controversy with its lyrics which talk basically about how some countries might 'push the button' and blow us all up to destruction. No countries are namechecked but coming from Israel, whose politics are rather colourful, it's obviously stirred up a bit of trouble.

Even the BBC have reported it! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/6405457.stm
That's a nice pic of Dana International too, even though I say so myself. Look at those thighs!

Anyway, there's talk of the Israeli entry being disqualified which it probably won't be. IBA have said that they aren't breaking any EBU rules with their lyrics and if this is true then there's no problem. It's just upset a few people.

It probably won't even qualify though. Cos a song about nuclear war sung in the styles of ska, rock and garage rap might be a bit too much for televoters to take in at once. Maybe.
