Ich komme!' The smutty Eurovision songs that dodge the censors
Briefly

The upcoming Eurovision song contest in Basel is expected to showcase artists who embrace themes of love and sexuality, despite strict rules against obscene lyrics. Notable performances include a Lithuanian artist announcing she's 'coming' in her song and Australia's male entrant promoting his 'milkshake'. The Maltese song 'Kant' faced criticism due to its phonetic resemblance to a vulgar term, prompting a title change to 'Serving'. Despite this censorship, the overall theme of celebration and self-acceptance prevails among performers.
"At this year's event in the Swiss city of Basel, many artists are returning to what they like to do best: celebrating the act of lovemaking in pop songs."
"Miriana Conte's song was re-titled from 'Kant' to 'Serving' after the EBU ordered a change due to its phonetic resemblance to a vulgar term."
