Stripper was the Sammarinese entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin performed by Achille Lauro.
The song's live performance featured a same-sex kiss between Achille Lauro and his male guitarist, reportedly the first time a male-male kiss was performed on the Eurovision stage (not counting 2013's grand final interval act).
It was performed 7th in the second semifinal following Malta and preceding Australia. At the close of voting, it finished in 14th place with 50 points, failing to qualify for the final.
Lyrics[]
È uno stripper, sì
Questo amore è uno strip club, yeah
Il mio cuore è in un freezer, freezer
Sono a letto col killer, thriller
Like a virgin, virgin
Questo è un film, London Calling, call me
Ah, I love Britney
È il diavolo in una Birkin
Ma che stupida voglia che ho
Quella stupida voglia
Metto la gonna più corta che ho
E vado fuori, ah
E vado fuori di me
I don’t know (Hey!)
All I need is love (Hey-hey!)
All I need is love (Hey!)
All I need is love, all I need is love
Ma che stupida voglia che ho
Ma guarda che donna che sono
Nessuno mi può giudicare
Ti fidi di me? Che stupido uomo
Cowboy, il mio cuore è il suo sex toy
Il mio bad boy
Madonna su Playboy
È una Barbie, ha seicento cavalli
Il suo bеagle è il mio Personal Jesus
I don’t know (Hеy!)
All I need is love (Hey-hey!)
All I need is love (Hey!)
All I need is love, all I need is love
Ma che stupida voglia che ho
Madonna, che donna che sono
Nessuno mi può giudicare
Ti fidi di me? Che stupido uomo
Ma che stupida voglia
Ma che stupida voglia
Metto la gonna più corta che ho
E vado fuori, ah
E vado fuori di me
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh no, no, no, no
Oh
Ma che stupida voglia che ho (All I need is love)
Ma guarda che donna che sono (All I need is love)
Nessuno mi può giudicare (All I need is love)
Ti fidi di me? (All I need is love)
Che stupido uomo
I don’t know
She’s a stripper, yes
This love is a strip club, yeah
My heart is in a freezer, freezer
I’m in bed with the killer, thriller
Like a virgin, virgin
This is a movie, London Calling, call me
Ah, I love Britney
She’s the devil in a Birkin
What a foolish desire I have
That foolish desire
I wear the shortest skirt I have
And go out, ah
And I go out of my mind
I don’t know
All I need is love
All I need is love
All I need is love
All I need is love
What a foolish desire I have
Look at the woman I am
No one can judge me
Do you trust me?
What a stupid man
Cowboy, my heart is his sex toy
My bad boy
Madonna on Playboy
She is a Barbie, she has 600 horsepower, ah, uh
Her beagle
Is my Personal Jesus
I don’t know
All I need is love
All I need is love
All I need is love
All I need is love
What a foolish desire I have
Oh my goodness, what a woman I am
No one can judge me
Do you trust me?
What a stupid man
What a foolish desire
What a foolish desire
I wear the shortest skirt I have
And go out, ah
And I go out of my mind
Oh no, no, no, no
What a foolish desire I have (all I need is love)
Oh my goodness, what a woman I am (all I need is love)
No one can judge me (all I need is love)
Do you trust me? (all I need is love)
What a stupid man
I don’t know
