Ha-sha-ka! Ha-sha-ka! Another Resolution...

Here I am, listening to the local college radio station, and I am reminded of another semi-regular feature I have meant to incorporate into the blog- examples of 80's music. Lest anyone think I'll be embedding Bonnie Tyler videos, here's an example of what I was listening to back then:



Apparently, the lyrics are a bit... horrible, but I haven't actually seen them posted anywhere to translate them.

  2. And: "Horrible:" bad lame sucky, or "horrible:" Junior Fascism Brigade? "Shake your booty," if that's what they're chanting, can go either way, of course.

    Tech note: Set the width of YouTube stuff at 415, it'll fit the template exactly. 335 works for 4:3 stuff, other wide formats you'll have to adjust accordingly.

    Horrible: sex, violence, scatological content- stuff that wouldn't cause anyone pause these days, but a little too spicy for mass airplay in their native land.

    This little gem is another example of the warped genius of Folke Jensen and Ledernacken. The spoken bit at 2:41 hits it out of the damn park.

    While I'm at it, who could forget this ode to indigestion, once heard?

    And thanks for the formatting tip!

  4. From your link: They were also the pioneers of 'German lyrics with bad taste'
    Ahem. Nina Hagen. That is all.

    Well, she's better known for her tasteful attire.
