abstract
  • Shir Habatlanim was the Israeli entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1987 in Brussels performed by actor-comedians Datner & Kushnir. It is a knock-about comedic song featuring the two performers dressed as the Blues Brothers. The song caused quite a bit of controversy in Israel, a culture minister threatened to resign if the song was sent to Brussels. It did, but his threat remained unfulfilled. The lyrics describe the daily routine of an idle loafer, evidently unemployed, who wakes up in the morning at 10 a.m., and who cannot see the sun because the shutters, and then a block of buildings impedes his view. It describes his routine of making coffee and smoking, and feeding the birds so that they come and sing the Lazy Bums' Song. It then describes how the lazy guy directs his dog to do the grocery errands, before going for a walk with the dog (accompanied with a pantomimed lifted-leg gesture), and then at the end of the day, having his view of the moon blocked by the buildings. At the contest, it was performed second following Norway and preceding Austria. At the close of voting, it finished in 8th place with 73 points.
