Eurovision 2004 - Number 1 - MIA. - "Hungriges Herz"

My number one this year are MIA. Those initials stand for a variety of things, although they started out as Me in Affairs before deciding that Musik ist Alles and serveral other names were better. They are group centred around school friends Mieze Katz (Kitty Cat real name Maria Mummert) and Andy Penn aka Andreas Ross. Introduced to their rhythm section by TV host Sarah Kuttner in 1997, the band built an indie/electropunk sound influenced by the New German Wave of the 1980s.

In 2004, they released their second album, had a fair degree of media and record label push and have a solid and growing fan base. They also courted controversy by releasing a song that touched on ideas of German identity and the German flag - tinderbox subjects in Germany and that caused more than debate among their fans.

That brings them to Germany 12 Points! in 2004. This year more than any other, NDR had pushed the boat out. It says something that even with their exceptionally young, Berlin-centric, fashionable fans that they were not favourites or even among the better know names in the competition. They also drew the death-slot in the running order.

Their song is Hungriges Herz (Hungry Heart) and boy is this song thirsty. It's an indie anthem about being desperate for someone who's closed off, calculating, and ice hold. Mieze's longs for something back, but their love interest is set about doing their own thing, holding Mieze in their own, uncomfortable way. Quite what exactly they're doing with their rough angel's tongue is never made exactly clear but they definitely don't want to be hugged back. Just what are they willing to do? How far will they go? In it's own repressed, restrained and confused way, this is extremely steamy.

The guitars idle with their melodic noodles, until Mieze says Du bist eis, which excites them into building up to the chant along chorus. It's designed to get a stadium singing 'wie weit' at the top of their voices. It's compellingly simple, emotionally invested, frustrated horniness in a song. That directness and theme is one rarely explored in Eurovision songs. The fact that it's so reminiscent of 1980s German electronica is only going to make me love it more.

In the televote, MIA. did not make the top four. They didn't get to Eurovision, but this stage definitely boosted their popularity and national awareness. Hungriges Herz became their biggest hit to date. Their career escalated from here. Their 2006 album Circus got to number two in the German charts with several singles also charting highly - up to 2020 they released a total seven albums most of which made the top 10. Most fascinatingly, they represented Berlin in the 2007 edition of Bundesvision - the German version of Eurovision in which German states rather than countries competed.

I love this song and performance - I wish they'd won or at least had another go. It's led me to discover a new band with a whole back catalogue to explore. If only this song didn't finish with a fade out.

Here's the song they took to Bundesvision in 2007 - Zirkus
