The controversial party song "Layla" will also be heard at the end of July in the Sunday show "ZDF-Fernsehgarten", which has high ratings.

This was announced by a station spokeswoman on request.

"The 'ZDF-Fernsehgarten' invites the most famous and successful acts of the Mallorca and Oktoberfest party scene on (...) July 31 (...) as part of its 'Mallorca vs. Oktoberfest' episode.

DJ Robin & Schürze will also be there with their song 'Layla'.”

At the weekend, the "Bild" newspaper reported that the "Layla" text, which had been criticized as sexist, would be rewritten into a "defused version" for the ZDF appearance.

"Layla" has been at the top of the single charts for weeks

The station spokeswoman said that the song "so far only exists in one version".

And: "The production team of the song has announced that it will produce a modified version of 'Layla' at a later date – but this is happening completely independently of ZDF."

The "Layla" debate fills the silly season this year.

The song by DJ Robin & Schürze about a "puff mama" named Layla has repeatedly been criticized as sexist.

The song has been at the top of the single charts for weeks.

"Layla" was banned from a folk festival in Würzburg, and the hit should not be played at the Send folk festival in Münster either.

At the Rheinkirmes in Düsseldorf, a DJ played an instrumental version as a compromise.
