Georgia picks anti-Russian Eurovision song

Georgia has sparked controversy by selecting an entry for the Eurovision Song Contest that ridicules Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin.

The public voted to send girlband 3G to the contest in Moscow with a song called 'We Don't Wanna Put In', a swipe at the former President.

The disco-funk song includes the lyrics: "We don't wanna put in, the negative move, it's killin' the groove."

Eurovision spokesman Sietse Bakker told the BBC that they lyrics are "sensitive" and will be reviewed next month.

"Until then, Georgian Television is free to make changes to the song, should they see the need," he added.

Georgia initially refused to take part in the contest but the decision was reversed in December.

Russia and Georgia were locked in fierce fighting last summer over the disputed territory of South Ossetia.
