Australia has taken a daring step in the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 with their entry, a vibrant and cheeky track titled "Milkshake Man" by the viral sensation Go-Jo, whose real name is Marty Zambotto. The song, filled with playful lyrics and infectious beats, is set to represent Australia on the grand stage in Basel, Switzerland, this May.
Go-Jo, who initially gained fame on TikTok with his hit "Mr. Hollywood" in 2023, has crafted "Milkshake Man" as a catchy, trance-infused pop anthem. The track is already turning heads and is poised to capture the attention of audiences worldwide with its memorable hook and suggestive themes.
The Inspiration Behind 'Milkshake Man'
At its core, "Milkshake Man" is a call for individuals to embrace their true selves. In a statement about the song, Go-Jo emphasized its empowering message: "The ‘Milkshake Man’’s purpose is to inspire people to embrace the loudest and proudest version of themselves, and I can’t think of a better place to share that message than the Eurovision stage." This message of self-expression and authenticity is aligned with the spirit of Eurovision, a celebration of diversity and inclusivity.
The track's lyrics are cleverly crafted as double entendres, presenting themselves as a euphemism while simultaneously carrying a deeper meaning of self-acceptance and confidence. Lines like "I can tell you want a taste of the milkshake man" and "Come and take a sip from my special cup" are delivered with a sense of humor and flair.
Exciting Visuals and Performance
Go-Jo's performance promises to be as entertaining visually as it is musically. The music video for "Milkshake Man" features Go-Jo in a variety of colorful outfits, including a striped vest top and a blue lycra jumpsuit. These visuals are set within an ice-cream truck transformed into a lively club, where Go-Jo and his "milk-shaking" assistants throw a party.
Fans will witness Go-Jo interacting with his audience through the van's windows, and performing antics like licking the window and smashing a milk bottle over his head. This exuberant display of energy and fun captures the spirit of the song and the artist's unique approach to performance.
Collaboration and Creative Team
"Milkshake Man" is a collaborative effort with members of the pop band Sheppard, including George Sheppard, Amy Sheppard, and Jason Bovino, contributing to its creation. This collaboration blends Go-Jo's viral appeal with Sheppard's pop sensibilities, resulting in a track that is both innovative and accessible.
An intriguing aspect of Go-Jo's artistry is his ability to play the guitar while unicycling, a skill which could add an extra layer of excitement to his live Eurovision performance.
Anticipation for Eurovision 2025
As the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 draws near, "Milkshake Man" is poised to stand out among the entries. The contest will commence with semi-finals on 13th and 15th May, culminating in the grand final on 17th May. Eurovision fans are eagerly anticipating the spectacle that Go-Jo is set to deliver on stage.
