If this Tuesday evening, while watching the Eurovision semi-final on Culturebox (channel 14 of TNT), you come across two wolves singing, do not change the channel!

You won't be watching a replay of

, but Norwegian duo Subwoofer.

The chick-yellow canines, stylish with their suit and sunglasses combo and teeth as sharp as they are oversized, enter the contest with

.

This electro-pop song, with a gently delirious text, is a very free reinterpretation of

, as evidenced by the injunction of the chorus: “Before this wolf eats my granny, give this wolf a banana.

Since their formation last year, the duo have liked to keep their identities secret.

It is not officially known who is hiding under these masks.

In February, shortly after the Subwoofers' victory in the local selection for Eurovision, the very serious Norwegian daily

(

) - at the origin of the revelations about the now famous "Tinder scammer", carried out the investigation. .

At the end of February, two journalists prowled around a studio where the artists were supposed to record a video for the competition.

“We've been touring the galaxy for so long.

The last time we came to Earth, there were dinosaurs that almost ate Keith,” they say, for example, between two puns in English on the planet Uranus.

The half-dismayed, half-tense face of the presenter who hosted the meeting after the first rehearsal was very funny to see.

The artists were no doubt laughing under their masks, which they do not plan to take off once Eurovision is over.

“We come from the Moon,” they insist.

Lunar, all the way.
