Israel 2012: did Izabo's song leak before Time?

A modern problem is that songs with an embargo keep leaking out before they are due to be heard. No less than three entries have leaked for this week's Swedish semi and a couple of days ago a song, claimed to be the 2012 Israeli entry, was made available on YouTube.

It seems to be the right group, it seems to be the right title, but there has been no statement from Israeli television - none that I am aware of anyway.

So, if it is the right song, it sounds like this.



Izabo - Time (Israel 2012)

I, for one, hope this is the right one. Funky, funny, bold and daring. Like the illigimate love child of Kaveret/Poogy and Ping Pong.



Kaveret (Poogy) - Natati la khaiai (Israel 1974)



Ping Pong - Sameach (Israel 2000)

Israel is often at its best when being a bit controversial. Izabo clearly seems to be a good way to go. I won't promise it is a sure qualifyer, but it is an entry to be proud of.
