Cancel culture: "Sexist!" First German city bans number 1 hit "Layla"

Würzburg - The city of Würzburg has banned the party hit "Layla" for the Kiliani folk festival. The song, which is played up and down at Ballermann, is "sexist", says the administration led by Mayor Christian Schuchardt (CSU). City spokesman Christian Weiß confirmed to the dpa: "We don't want to hear that anymore." A person responsible had previously explained to the Mainpost: "It will be ensured that the song will no longer be played in the future."

Critics see the hit, which has been number 1 in the German single charts for three weeks, as sexist. That's why it shouldn't be played anymore, they say in Würzburg. The song says: "I have a whorehouse and my mother's name is Layla. She's prettier, younger, hornier." Apparently, the moral guards also bump into the line: "The beautiful Layla, the horny Layla. That bitch Layla, our Layla."

"People used to sing 'Scandal in the restricted area'"
The performers are "DJ Robin & Schürze". The singer did not understand the excitement about the subject of prostitution: "People used to sing 'Scandal in the Restricted Area' or 'We're going to the Whorehouse to Barcelona'." And he wonders why violent texts by gangster rappers aren't in the criticism: "Everyone can have their opinion, but in every German rap song the lyrics are worse. Nobody gets upset about that.”

Musicologist Markus Henrik sees things differently: "The song is calculated to be highly sexist." He suspects that the title is a "weird, subconscious answer to the MeToo debates of recent years", loosely based on the motto: "Here it is now. In short, everything doesn't matter.” Hesse's Juso boss Sophie Frühwald is also among the outraged. She accused the Junge Union (JU) of "exposing sheer sexism on stage" because they played the number 1 hit at their state parliament at the end of June.

Der Jungen Union #Hessen liegt die Förderung von Frauen am Herzen. Oder so… Da ist man sich nicht mal zu schade auf der Bühne blanken #Sexismus zur Schau zu stellen. Nächster Höhepunkt einer unendlichen Geschichte… pic.twitter.com/Xev0LXA71Z
