Well....a song.
Every year....some German song writers sit down and write 'summer-hits'....which are recorded in the spring, and as Germans rush off to beach vacations (in Turkey, Spain, Italy, etc).....these songs get played at local bars, discos and clubs.
The tunes stick in some way, and get dragged back to Germany. So from June to October....these are trending big in Germany.
So....this guy from Limburg (my region)....Ikke Hipgold wrote this one song called Layla. The text? Mostly leading to a woman who is young, hot, horney, etc.
In simple terms....woke has wandered into this situation and deemed the song too sexist to be heard in public or via the radio. Even the German AG is involved.
Various fests in Germany have banned the song....while the crowd might be singing it....it can't be played via the DJs.
So, here's the thing....Germans have private/public parties, and they have music in the mix.....and Layla....has arrived at a legend status....to be a party song.
Personally, I can probably think of twenty-odd songs from the past fifty years...which would be deemed sexist (Mama's Got A Squeeze Box by The Who, Do Me Baby by Prince, and Do Me by Kim Petras are good examples).
Wokism arriving? Yes, and this Layla business is just the beginning.
FYI: the term 'poof-mama' comes up in the song as well. I had to ask my wife (German in nature) this AM to define it....since it's not a term I've heard. Well......a 'P-M' is a bordello-gal (whore-house resident). A bit funny how a P-M gets dragged into a woke argument.
