What’s a melocoton? According to The Collins-English Dictionary it’s any of several large varieties of peach that ripen late in the season. Fans of the juicy fruit note that they’re distinguished for a number of qualities, including their sweetness and a significant amount of fuzz.
Traditionalists, who are more used to using the word peach to refer to one’s booty, will be pleased to know that our favourite intergalactic pop transplants Subwoolfer are doing exactly that in their new single.
The summer bop comes tinged with plenty of references to the part of our bodies otherwise known as the bum, bottom, booty, derrière and, for the uncouth among you, the ass. Their lyrics capture the heat of the summer and the sensuality that the sun can unleash in everyone.
“We just wanna pick the peaches, hit the bars and beaches, singing to the song (Oh), teachers, nurses and policemen, all just want a piece of juicy Melocoton.”
It would seem Norway’s Eurovision 2022 stars haven’t lost their fondness for your mother’s mother either. “That grandma tushy getting way too hot,” they sing.
The video retains Subwoolfer’s anything-goes spirit and their love of the ridiculous. It opens with Jim using a peach as a puppet, mouthing to Keith that he has to taste this. Keith replies with a talking banana. Within seconds we see their latest choreo, which involves fists, fingers and some smacks of their own hour-glass bums.
Naturally the wolves are a hit at the seaside, cozying up to people of all ages as they work a series of summery shirts before going shirtless. (Curiously, we don’t see the “hairy coats” referenced in “Give That Wolf A Banana” but instead smooth, hairless and gym-toned bodies).
The temperature rises as they notice the peaches are getting “hairier, sweatier” and eventually they lure a gaggle of folks behind closed doors. What happens next may or may not be a surprise…but the sound effect is most definitely terrifying.
We’ve all finally seen Keith and Jim from @Subwoolferband without their shirts ? ? ?

Look at them peaches, I mean, oh my god
That grandma tushy getting way too hot
Tonight I think I’m gonna try my luck
Yeah, I really wanna squeeze that peach (Yummy!)
We just wanna pick the peaches
Hit the bars and beaches

Teachers, nurses and policemen
All just want a piece of
Juicy Melocoton
Juicy Melocoton
Donk, donk, donk
Donka donk, donk
A donka, donka

Juicy Melocoton
Donk, donk, donk
Donka donk, donk
A donka, donka

Donka donk (Oh my god!)
We just wanna pick the peaches

Well Keith you told me always treat them well
Jim’s attention and banana held
I see you check me out so help yourself
I know you really wanna squeeze that peach.
We just wanna pick the peaches

Donk, donk, donk, donka donk, donk, donk
Donk, donk, donk
Donka donk, donk
A donka, donka
Donk, donk, donk

Who cares
They flopped at Eurovision- I don’t know why they are still trying.
Coming 10th is flopping?? LOL. Nice joke.
They’re handsome 🙂
They’re HOT
I kinda wanna know their thought process because if they are who I think they are, one of them has like a cute nordic boy feel to him and it gets funny when they sing about ”peaches” and ”bananas” xD Guess it’s easier as a wolf hahaha
Between Subwoolfer and Keiino, Norway are the kings of Eurovision-specific acts who somehow have a successful career after Eurovision. It’d be like if one of those bands on Disney Channel or Nickelodeon over here suddenly became huge, legitimate artists (Jonas Brothers don’t count since they were already a band).
(Which is not a dig on either act, to be clear. Especially not Keiino, two-thirds of whom I met in Turin and were incredibly friendly, especially Tom).
From 2012-2022 Norway made it to my favorite’s list SIX TIMES!
2012: Tooji – Stay (My 2nd in 2012)
2013: Margaret – Feed You My Love (My 4th in 2013)
2017: JOWST ft. Aleksander Walmann – Grab The Moment (My 7th in 2017)
2019: KEiiNO – Spirit In The Sky (My 4th in 2019)
2021: TIX: Fallen Angel (My 7th in 2021)
2022: Subwoolfer – Give That Wolf A Banana (My 1st in 2022)
When they take off the sunglasses while having another pair of sunglasses on, I am amused.
I was ACHING to hear this after I first heard it teased. I LOVE IT!!!
They can squeeze my peach anytime!
