Kaj, a Finnish comedy group, is a favorite to win this year's Eurovision with their amusing entry 'Bara Bada Bastu' that celebrates sauna culture. Clad in brown suits and accompanied by an accordion, the trio performs a catchy song that has captured the audience's attention. The selection came after their surprising victory at Melodifestivalen, Sweden’s national song contest that chooses its Eurovision entrant. With an emphasis on originality, the group's humorous approach stands out in contrast to Sweden's typical slick performances, marking a shift in public taste.
"We're gonna have a sauna, sauna, steam up and let go of the stress of the day," they sing repeatedly in Swedish, in a catchy chorus that sticks to the brain like chewing gum to the sole of a shoe.
Sweden has usually competed with very slick numbers. Now I have the feeling that the public is a little more open to originality, to something unique," Randanne said.
