Question mark, Guido Hatzis, goodbye.
[Guido hangs up]
The lyrics of Guido Hatzis's song "Queen" portray a prank phone call from Guido Hatzis himself to a palace employee. He begins the call by claiming he is willing to let the queen stay at his place, and upon being questioned about his identity and location, he responds offensively and with a lot of Australian slang. Throughout the call, he insults the employee, demands to speak to the Queen, and makes ridiculous suggestions about what the Queen can do during her stay.
The song's lyrics showcase how people can use humor to communicate a message and how the prank call culture has become a social phenomenon. Guido Hatzis's performance is an excellent example of how people use humor to address power dynamics and class issues. The song is a demonstration of how the internet has given rise to vast opportunities for humorous expressions, in addition to the potential implications of prank calls.
