Eurovision 2022: Who are Norway's Subwoolfer and lyrics to ‘Give That Wolf a Banana’

Eurovision 2022 was back on our screens with the grand final tonight.

While the UK was rooting for Sam Ryder, Ukraine were the favourites to win. But, other contenders gained themselves many fans with outrageous costumes and quirky lyrics.

Norway was a country that everyone was talking about as they had Subwoolfer representing them. The act performed while wearing yellow wolf masks that conceal their identity. The duo go by pseudonyms Keith and Jim and claim to have been formed ‘4.5 billion years ago on the Moon’ but their real identities are still a mystery.

The Norweigan pop duo only formed last year but have been elevated to Eurovision due to their astronomic rise to popularity after winning the Melodi Grand Prix 2022 – Norway’s competition to decide the country’s Eurovision entry.

While their costumes were certainly a talking point, it was their unusual lyrics which had everyone rooting for them. They performed a Red Riding Hood themed song titled “Give That Wolf a Banana”. The song spread like wildfire on social media after the act performed in the heats.

Norway's Eurovision entry: ‘Give That Wolf a Banana’ lyrics

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Not sure I told you, but I really like your teeth

That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath

Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

See where you’re going, but I don’t know where you’ve been

Is that saliva or blood drippin’ off your chin?

If you don’t like the name Keith I’ma call you Jim

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And before that wolf eats my grandma

Give that wolf a banana

Give that wolf

And before that wolf eats my grandma

Give that wolf a banana

Give that wolf

Give that wolf (banana)

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yumYum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Banana

I like the scent of every meal on your breath

That hunger in you, I’m in danger now, I guess

Let’s go to grandma’s, you say grandma tastes the best

Oh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

And before that wolf eats my grandma

Give that wolf a banana

Give that wolf

(I want your grandma, yum, yum)

And before that wolf eats my grandma

Give that wolf a banana

Give that wolf

Give that wolf

Someone give that wolf a banana

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Someone give that wolf a banana

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Someone give that wolf a banana

Ba-na-na

Ba-na-na-na-na

Ba-na-na

Ba-na-na-na-na

And before that wolf eats my grandma

Give that wolf a banana

Give that wolf

(I want your grandma, yum, yum)

Someone give that wolf a banana

And before that wolf eats my grandma

Give that wolf a banana

Give that wolf

Give that wo-o-olf

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Someone give that wolf a banana

Yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum, yum-yum-yum

Someone give that wolf a banana

Not sure I told you, but I really like your teeth

That hairy coat of yours with nothing underneath

Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith
