Just a heads up - it’s a satirical takedown of the current state of the music industry, Spotify and TikTok’s effects on artists and how difficult it is to make a living. The lyrics are full of these references - $0.003 is the average amount an artist is paid per stream on Spotify and the industry exec said to be behind the push for streaming platforms was named Edgar. They’re honestly brilliant for this.

Also, Women in the industry and underpaid so they dressed up as men in the second part. The song has more meaning than what people give it credit for. It's incredible. It's ART x

It is not a joke entry, it is a satirical BANGER with a real message in it! I also thought this would be trash, but it is AMAZING!!! Such a well produced track, so catchy it is almost addictive, so far this is winning SF2 hahah

We really needed a fun and happy song this year and HERE THEY ARE! This is GREAT.

Honestly I didn't expect so much from Austria,but the absolutely SLAYED.

OH BOY, the crowd's gonna get wild with this one! Very wise choice of song since it's televote only in the semi finals!

I love it, I love it, brilliant, fun, addictive.

love this sog is and bop sure top 10 list

Believe it or not, this is not the first Eurovision song to make reference to Edgar Allan Poe (France 1990) and not the first time Austria sends an Eurovision entry criticizing the music industry (1977).

Among those dance bops so far, this is my favorite. There are good vocals and a meaningful message (but funny) in the song.

❤ you are so much fun ..thx for your video

This ESC season is GREAT!!! Can't wait to see these songs on #liverpool2023esc stage: 🥳🎆🎶

It is a fun song, just what we need in the lineup

There is just one thing I have been trying to find - a live perfornance of this very good song! Where can I find it?

Top 3 Austria 2023 🇦🇹❤🍀👍

I have no idea to what I just listen to..

the thing is: it's not a joke entry though, it's an intelligent entry.

I am confused 😂😱

You are confused. I understand that. This is not just a music video. Why? Let me quote "Lindon ESC" and his/her interpretation of this song that i found in the comments to another "Reacting to Austria ESC 2023" Video: So, I'll break this down "There's a ghost in my body and he is a lyricist" "Oh Mia Padre, There's a ghost in my body" They are taking a shot at Ghostwriters in the industry. Alot of artist's today will use Ghostwriters who will produce or write music and get a massive fraction whilst the artist gets a small amount for performing it. They also use their song as a way to demonstrate this. In today's industry, you could make the most meaningful song but cover it with Electro or dance and bam... It's a worldwide hit and people miss the actual meaning. So, they did the same by making this fun, quirky pop track that you miss the actual meaning behind the song. "What's your IPI? Where's the A&R? Girl, call Universal, you're about to be a star" IPI is a digital barcode that a A&R team recieve when content is made. It determines how much royalty the Producer, Writer, Artist and Label will receive. In most cases, again, the producer and label receive the most whilst the songwriter and artist receive hardly anything. They take a shot at Universal Music group as they are known to take MASSIVE chunks from artists and also not give their artist's any creative control over their music or sound. It's sarcasm. You'll become a star and be rich, but it'll come at a price, basically! You'll have no freedom to write your own songs but you'll be rich. It's a very clever lyric. "Zero dot zero zero three Give me two years, and your dinner will be free" Most streaming sites will pay a artist 0.003 in revenue every stream. This lyric actually hits so hard. All they could afford is cheap champagne and after two years, they'd finally make a small profit. Unless you're a massive artist pulling in millions of plays each month, you will hardly see a profit from your song and will have to wait a few years before you can just about afford a meal. It's a strong message to display just how much the industry and streaming sites do not value the work or content of hard working artists. This is why she then says "At least it pays to be funny". Comedians make more money than hard working songwriters and artists!! Let that sink in. In the second half of the video, they dress up as men delivering the song to a board of record executives. This is because men's work is often listened to more and released whilst women's hard work goes unnoticed or unfavoured. You then see them get arrested for impersonation and taken to prison. This is because they are trying to display the message, it would be so much easier to be a man in the industry than be a woman. VERY CLEVER what they did there. This song is ART. It's not even a song at this point. It deserves recognition for how amazing it is. It's such a fun, quirky song with such a deep and powerful message. " If I could add to that. Edgar Allan Poe was the first (american) author who tried to live from his art. He was short on money all of his life.

Uhm… I think this is WAY far from being a joke entry!!

Austria: Church, A Writer, Goths like, the love of Italian and classic Music...Theater..we like. But i do not like Pop. I prefer Blood and Glitter! Hehe
