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. 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.
