Britain's entry for the 2026 Eurovision Song Contest, 'Eins, Zwei, Drei' by Look Mum No Computer, has been described as a 'terrible racket' that is 'mercilessly loud'. The track, performed by synth-wielding musician Sam Battle, features horny moans, plinky-plonky synths, thick bass stabs, and relentless shouting.
Battle, known online as Look Mum No Computer, gained minor fame for creating instruments from found objects, such as wiring a Furby into a synthesiser. With his mad professor hair and owlish features, his style has been likened to 'Blue Peter meets Berghain', and is very English in a way that is both embarrassing and charming.
Sonically, the song recalls the distant past, reminiscent of Kaiser Chiefs or The Ting Tings. It is described as a 'very heterosexual Eurovision entry', devoid of camp or glitz. The lyrics bemoan the nine-to-five life and counting to three in German, with lines like 'Eins, zwei, drei / Darlin', I need something salty'.
While it is unclear if this track will win Eurovision, it is noted that the UK's continued presence at the contest feels like sending a Valentine's card to someone who hates us. However, the entry is welcomed for providing a moment, even if it gives listeners a headache. Recent UK entries have been described as 'different kinds of beige', making this at least memorable.
