From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frauen regier'n die Welt (translation: Women rule the World, international title: Guess who rules the world) was Germany's entry for the 52nd Eurovision Song Contest 2007 in Helsinki. It was the first song which was performed in German after Michelle's entry with Wer Liebe lebt in 2001.
It was performed by German swing singer Roger Cicero and written by Matthias Hass and Frank Ramond. Cicero started at number 16 during the contest and reached number 19 (out of 24) in the voting. The lyrics were criticized by Germany's feminist magazine EMMA. They voted Roger Cicero "Pasha of the Month" (a title for men who display chauvinist attitudes) because of the song's lyrics. They are of the opinion that the line "Und schon öffnen sich Tasche und Herz Und dann kaufst du ´n Ring und ´n Nerz" (translation: And soon your wallet and heart start to open up and then you buy a ring and mink coat) is antiquated.
