Mirja Boes reacts to song being labeled sexist
Comedian Mirja Boes addressed the inclusion of her 26-year-old hit song, “20 Zentimeter,” on a list of tracks that should ideally no longer be played at the Erlanger Bergkirchweih festival. The city's equality officers classified the title as sexist in May.
Speaking on Hans Sigl's podcast, “Betreff: Leben,” Boes stated she was not angry about the classification but rather felt “proud.” She described the song as a form of satire and fun, noting that while she did not expect it to end up on such a list, she is not entirely surprised by the decision today.
Other songs on the list include “Skandal im Sperrbezirk” by the Spider Murphy Gang. Boes also joked about singer Mickie Krause, noting he has four songs on the list.
