Lena Meyer-Landrut, who represented Germany in the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest and won the contest with her song “Satellite,” in a German TV broadcast said that, among others, she liked Armenia’s entry in the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest — Emmy’s “Boom Boom” — because “it’s very simple but catchy.” On the German talk show, she actually sings part of the chorus: “Boom Boom, Chaka Chaka…”
The Armenian song entry’s music is by Apricota (Hayk Harutyunyan and Hayk Hovhannisyan), lyrics by Sosi Khanikyan and arrangement by Murzo (Ara Torosyan).
