Absolutely.

Any return to this sh*t would also justify a War on Terror. I am scared at the thought of reliving the 70s and the 80s.

Get an entry into the festival and when it’s time to perform it for real, sing a totally different version which mocks the whole thing.

Alternatively I could write lyrics that are subtle enough to get past the judges and yet be obviously satirical to more intelligent people (of which, it appears, there are very few). Hmm… Perhaps I should have kept this plan to myself.

You haven’t been long in Malta, have you?

This stuff is supposed to boost “National Identity?” It just makes me cringe.
