Puffmama on ZDF
“Layla” uncensored: “Scandal” song should not be defused for the TV garden
It remains exciting how moderator Andrea Kiewel will announce the song – or whether the scandal is still an issue until the broadcast date.

At the end of July it is time to hold your breath – because then ZDF presenter Andrea Kiewel will announce DJ Robin and Schürze, who will perform “Layla” on the public television program – and apparently in the “adult version”.
The controversial party song “Layla” will also be heard at the end of July in the Sunday show “ZDF-Fernsehgarten”, which has high ratings. This was announced by a station spokeswoman in Munich on request. “The ‘ZDF-Fernsehgarten’ invites the best-known and most successful acts of the Mallorca and Oktoberfest party scene on July 31 as part of its ‘Mallorca vs. Oktoberfest’ episode. DJ Robin & Schürze will also be there with their song ‘Layla’ be.”
It stays with “Puffmama” Layla
At the weekend, the “Bild” newspaper reportedthat the “Layla” text, which was criticized as sexist, would be rewritten into a “defused version” for the ZDF appearance. The report said it would replace the controversial word “puffmama” with “busmama” — whatever the replacement word meant.
The station spokeswoman said that the song “so far only exists in one version”. And: “The production team of the song has announced that it will produce a modified version of ‘Layla’ at a later date – but this is happening completely independently of ZDF.”
DJ Robin says thank you for the “Layla” scandal
The debate about “Layla” fills the summer slump this year. The song by DJ Robin & Schürze about a “poofmama” named Layla has repeatedly been criticized as sexist. The song has been at the top of the single charts for weeks.
“Layla” was banned from a folk festival in Würzburg, and the hit should not be played at the Send folk festival in Münster either. At the Rheinkirmes in Düsseldorf, a DJ played an instrumental version as a compromise. DJ Robin, the man behind “Layla”, thanked social media for the attention at the beginning of the scandal.
