Eurovision 2018 – Israel

The Israel song is called ‘Toy‘ and performed by Netta Barzilai.

ARTIST

Netta Barzilai was born on 22 January 1993 in Hod Hasharon. At an early age, she moved with her family to Nigeria where she lived for four years and eventually returned to Israel. Prior to her mandatory enlistment to the Israeli Defense Forces, she volunteered for a year in the Nahal and later served in the Israeli Navy Band.

SONG

The track is written by Doron Medalie and is riding on the coat-tails of the #MeToo campaign – empowering the female of the species.

OPINION

A very wiser decision considering the current climate to enter a song that empowers women. I LOVE it and it is one of my favourites! Netta is a brilliant mashup of Beth Ditto and Nikki Minaj and is super talented! I can’t wait to see this being performed live! LOVE IT!

PREDICTION

This is undoubtedly going to qualify and will absolutely finish in the Top 5. In fact I could even go as far as saying – see you in Israel in 2019!

Look at me, I’m a beautiful creature

I don’t care about your modern time preacher

Welcome boys to my show, I will teach ya

Drum drum ah ooh, drum drum ah ooh

Hey, I think you forgot how to play

My teddy bear’s running away

The Barbie got something to say, hey

My Simon Says leave me alone

I’m taking my Pikachu home

You’re stupid just like your smartphone

Wonder Woman don’t you ever forget

You’re divine and he’s about to regret

He’s a bucka-mhm-buck-buck-buck-mhm boy

Bucka-mhm-buck-buck-buck

I’m not your bucka-mhm-buck-mhm-buck-mhm

I’m not your toy (Not your toy)

You stupid boy (Stupid boy)

I’ll take you down now, make you watch

We’re dancing with my dolls on the motha-bucka beat

Not your toy (Cululoo, cululoo, cululoo cululoo)

Ah ah, ah ah, ani lo buba

Ah ah, ah ah, ani lo buba

(Cululoo, cululoo) Wedding bells ringing

(Cululoo, cululoo) Money men bling-bling

I don’t care about your Stefa, baby

Drum drum ah ooh, drum drum ah ooh

Wonder Woman don’t you ever forget

You’re divine and he’s about to regret

He’s a bucka-mhm-buck-buck-buck-mhm boy

Bucka-mhm-buck-buck-buck

I’m not your bucka-mhm-buck-mhm-buck-mhm

I’m not your toy (Not your toy)

You stupid boy (Stupid boy)

I’ll take you down now, make you watch

We’re dancing with my dolls on the motha-bucka beat

Not your toy (Not your toy)

You stupid boy (Stupid boy)

I’ll t-t-t-take you now

W-w-w-with me now, boy

(I’m not your toy)

You stupid boy

I’ll take you down now, make you watch me

Dancing with my dolls on the motha-bucka beat

(I’m not your toy) Look at me, I’m a beautiful creature

(You stupid boy) I don’t care about your modern time preacher

(I’m not your toy) Not your toy, not your toy, not your toy, toy

I’m not your toy, not your toy, not your toy, toy
