United Kingdom at Eurovision 2026: Look Mum No Computer To Perform “Eins, Zwei, Drei” at Eurovision 2026. Listen to the song.
The British national broadcaster BBC has announced that YouTuber and musician Look Mum No Computer will represent the United Kingdom at Eurovision 2026, to be held in Vienna, Austria in May. The entry was chosen via an internal selection by the national broadcaster.
The song portrays a sharp transition between the gray exhaustion of the modern workforce and the intoxicating sense of being alive that comes with freedom. It presents the “9 to 5” routine as a prison of office cubicles and despair, where one feels like a mouse in a pointless race that only drains their energy. The transformation occurs at the moment of a spontaneous decision to break the rules, hop on a plane, and find comfort in simple, sensory things, such as the taste of pizza, the sounds of a foreign language, and the pure joy of a karaoke performance. It is an anthem of renewal, where counting in German becomes a mantra that releases the soul from stagnation, pushing away boredom in favor of a true return to life.
The video opens with the artist sitting and working in a chaotic, cluttered office, where the walls and objects close in on him. He pushes them aside to reveal complex electronic stations filled with screens, keyboards, and buttons. He sheds his suit to reveal a technician’s jumpsuit underneath. Beside him, two musicians perform with surreal, square furry heads, screen eyes, and toy-teeth mouths. He is then seen repairing a winged car loaded with gear, pulling out maps before setting off. The shots alternate between the moving vehicle and the flashing electronic consoles. He begins to dance and go wild on the office desk that still stands amidst the gear. For the finale, he flies the car toward the horizon, leaving behind jet trails in the colors of the British flag.
The Selection Process
A major drama preceded the choice of Look Mum No Computer. According to reports, he was only a backup — the BBC was forced to drop the originally planned United Kingdom’s representative for Eurovision 2026 after routine background checks revealed a “string of serious concerns” regarding past online statements.
Publications reported that the artist was summoned to a meeting with senior BBC executives, during which he was informed that he was being removed from representing the country at Eurovision. It was also claimed that the decision followed findings from background checks carried out as part of the internal selection process, and that it was a move imposed on the corporation given the heightened sensitivity and recent contest rules relating to participants’ political statements. Sources said:
“The BBC cannot afford to take risks, especially when Eurovision 2026 is seen as a pressure cooker”.
The BBC denied the story, and it may never be fully clear whether this drama actually occurred, but it is hoped that it will not affect the quality of Look Mum No Computer’s song, which is expected to be released “very soon”.
The song was selected by an internal committee of the BBC, and the release date of the song was unexpectedly revealed during Scott Mills‘ morning show on BBC Radio.

Lyrics – “Eins, Zwei, Drei”:
So sick of doing the whole 9 to 5
I pay my dues, I’m just stayin’ alive
And I’m so bored of it, bored of it
Oh, what’s the point of it, point of it?
A paracetamol to quench the pain
The office cubicle has trapped me again
Am I a mouse in a cage, am I
D-d-d-demotivational?
Ah, if only there was a language that I can count in
That would make me feel better, oh ja
Eins, zwei, drei
Darlin’, I need something salty
Eins, zwei, drei
With a slice of pepperoni
I’ll pay, you can owe me
That’ll be a pony
Eins, zwei, drei
I’m comin’ back to life
Eins, zwei, drei
Got me feeling okey-dokey
Eins, zwei, drei
Goodbye drudgery, hello me
So light you can throw me
Kill at karaoke
Eins, zwei, drei
I’m coming back to life
Countin’ in English doesn’t cut the mustard
So sick of munching roly-poly with custard
I’m so bored with it, bored with it
Oh, what’s the point of it, point of it?
I’ve always been a fan of aviation
I’m jumpin’ on a plane to another nation
And all my pounds, they feel counterfeit
I need some euros to count on it
Eins, zwei, drei
Darlin’, I need something salty
Eins, zwei, drei
With a slice of pepperoni
I’ll pay, you can owe me
That’ll be a pony
Eins, zwei, drei
I’m comin’ back to life
Eins, zwei, drei
Got me feeling okey-dokey
Eins, zwei, drei
Goodbye drudgery, hello me
So light you can throw me
Kill at karaoke
Eins, zwei, drei
I’m comin’ back to life
Eins
Zwei
Drei
Eins, zwei
Eins, zwei, drei
Eins, zwei, drei
Darlin’, I need something salty
Eins, zwei, drei
With a slice of pepperoni
I’ll pay, you can owe me
That’ll be a pony
Eins, zwei, drei
I’m comin’ back to life
Eins, zwei, drei
Darlin’, I need something salty
Eins, zwei, drei
With a slice of pepperoni
I’ll pay, you can owe me
That’ll be a pony
Eins, zwei, drei
I’m comin’ back to life
Eins, zwei, drei
Einѕ, zwei, drei
I’m comin’ bаck to life
