Wind of Change wasn't just produced in Germany, the band is actually from Germany.
most bands are from germany here…
And the song itself is very much inspired and informed by the political/historical situation in Germany at that time.
Even Lou Bega is German (born in Munich)!
@@hardywoodaway9912 Or Austria and Switzerland. Not Mo-Do though. That was an Italian project.
and one of the oldest bands on earth today!!
"A german produced song ? By the scorpions ?" Yes usually german bands produce songs in germany lol
True! That many people not knowing about this goes to show how good they are! I am "only" 36yo but still have it in my playlist!
Hymn of reunion and freedom!!! YEAH!!
I'm born '84 by the way, and we came '88 to germany, just a few months before the wall fell. I remember a bunch from these days.... those where heavy times.....
But HELL YEAH!! WE ARE ONE NOW!!!
the worst ist, his dad knows the scorpons for sure, its or was one of the famous german bands in the usa
They are not from Germany but from Hanover and I say that as a Lower Saxon.
@@andh6945 as a man from Hannover i get tears in my eyes... that hurts.... not from germany... that hurts 😞
The constant confused look of the realization that so many international hits are German. 😂👌
Some even surprised me ngl...
But I'll be damned if I don't enjoy the heck out of most of these.
I grew up with so many of those Eurodance hits. Go Germany!
I was looking the exact same💀as a German
its because US-citizens think they have some sort of monopol on great music and movies, so no other country possibly could do what the US does!
but this thinking only comes from slight ignorance and not being able to look further than your own border!
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪
"Die da?" by "die Fantastischen Vier" is the song that took German hip-hop to the mainstream. So yes, in a way they were "the original German rappers".
And a lot of die hard hip hop fans hate Fanta4 for that. They are a lot of fun though and i prefer them a lot over all the wannabe gangster rappers.
Falco was
@@ricardo_miguel13He doesn't count, he was from Austria 😉
Nope, as weird as it sounds it was the Rodgau Monotones with Erbarmen zu Spaet (die Hessen kommen). Yesss it's HipHop! :-) From 1984 even before Falco and Rock me Amadeus
The fantastic four and The Rödelheim Hardrhyme Project.... please, funrap vs. Gangsta. 😊😁
They should have given every song at least like ten secs. Those snippets are just way too short.
I agree
Copyright problems... they have to be that short to not get any problems
@@lhuras. its possible to mute songs every 5 seconds or to pause or to talk over it. And we all know how he loves to talk and pause vids^^
@@BenSlashes not only for him but also copyright for the original creator of the video he's reacting to
It really is a sad length but not much you can do against that
We germans claim a lot of things americans think they invented😂
Lou Bega (Mambo No. 5) himself IS german not only produced in Germany 😌
same with scorpions
@@tilmanarchivar8945 Scorpions are 100% German
I never knew..
Same with haddaway
He is Bavarian... Swiss people are more German then Bavarians 😂
9:55 This song actually has a pretty sad backstory. A friend of the bandmembers was addicted to drugs and died of an overdose. In that song they actually somehow blame themselves for not being stricter with her before it was too late and she had changed so much they couldn't even talk to her reasonably anymore and why this had to end up like that. So yeah pretty heartwrenching for me to hear the desperate "Warum?" (Why) in the chorus.
didn t it turn out that it was all a lie? and they fought because of it and split?
Btw, Haddaway "what is Love" & Scorpions "wind of Change" are not only produced by Germans, they are Germans. And "torfrock" (the comicstyle video with the Hedgehog) is from "Werner", a comic that you have already made a reaction video to :)
Jeah, the crippled hedgehog 😂🙈
It's all because of the stupidity wrote in start of the video, and Ryan as an ignorant always believe what he read
Haddaway is not german!
@@-ripinpieces-8409 okay..He is Not German by birth ..
actually Haddaway is not german he is born in Trinidad! he moved to america at the age of 9 and lived in germany from the early 90'S
I just wish the clips were longer... "Das Boot" was such an iconic song back then and they barely touched the intro here.
It's called copyright and RUclips's unwillingness to move away from automated copyright takedowns. None of the clips are any longer for a reason.
The score to "Das Boot" has never been made into a song as far as I know.
The movie or the 6 part miniseries of "Das Boot" from 1981 is the most best submarine movie ever made.
@@tubekulose U96 made a pretty popular techno remix of the score of "Das Boot" in 1991, it's worth checking it out
@@MrDjTilo Funny that they chose not to include Oli P.'s voice in both of his songs. Says a lot about the quality of his music, when the background singer is the most iconic part of it :D
Ryan, do not forget Germany is the 3rd biggest music market after the US and Japan in the world.
Isn't that the French language market? It would make more sense.
actually the 4th biggest, UK is 3rd :)
but still insane
He talks about the music market not the language. Germany is much bigger then France. When it's language it's obviously that Spanish is bigger because of Latin America
He talks about the music market not the language. Germany is much bigger then France. When it's language it's obviously that Spanish is bigger because of Latin America
@@overdev1993 Yeah, Germany takes 3rd place from the UK every other year, but most of the time it's the UK.
6:35 yeah, who could have thought that a genre called "Eurodance" is not American...
"Out of the dark" is an epic and tragic song.
Singer and composer Falco died just a short time later in a car accident amd so this song is kinda prophetic.
So long ago and so many people are still sad.
and he is absolutely not german
Like me
Every Song here is by a German band…
@@Felix-pm1fg Falco is Austrian...
SNAP is a Eurodance and trance project founded in Germany in 1989 by Frankfurt producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti (previously known as 16 BIT and together with Sven Väth as OFF)
Scorpions is a German hard rock band from Hanover that was founded in 1965 as Nameless, released their first album in 1972 and still exists today. The Scorpions Musikproduktions- und Verlagsgesellschaft mbH is based in Schwarmstedt, the Scorpions GbR in Langenhagen.
DJ Bobo is Swiss
thanks Wikipedia
nearly every eurodance is from germany
@@K__a__M__I .................was du denn für ein unentspannter Spacko???
DJ Bobo lived and produced most of his songs in Germany
@@mandibiedermann2246 Even when it comes to music, Germans are pretty open about past crimes... /s
Beinhart is actually the song and a part of the movie "Werner-Beinhart". You reacted to a clip of it about 3 months ago with Werner, Eckart und Meister Röhrich in a basement. ^^
The musicians are "Torfrock" which are characterized primarily by their pronounced north German accent.
Wasn't that the movie with the soccer intro?
I cried with laughter (no hyperbole) watching that, and I don't even *like* soccer.
@@p.s.shnabel3409yeah, it is 🤭. If you are german and do some kind of apprenticeship as craftsperson of any kind, Werner is an absolutely mandatory part of your life as you and Werner suffer the same shit 🤭😂.
@@Kilandilyou gotta memorize every line in the right order, otherwise you won't get your Gesellenbrief in GasWasserScheiße
@@Kilandil Thanks!
But let's keep it 100 here: even adults will prank each other much like that ;)
I'm originally from Germany. And I've worked in the office of a plumbing company. The guys absolutely *loved* to pull a fast one on each other.
On a side note, at least where I live, Americans love those kinds of pranks, too. It's just that there are hardly any apprentices (and from what I understand it's very different from the German system). Most people learn their trade in a trade school, or on the job and get their certification at a later point. Pranking tends to be between co-workers.
My once best friend once said to me,
"You know Daniel? One day people will be as nostalgic for '90s music as we are for '80s music."
"Bah!"
And that's how it happened. Even with me.
I mean you can get nostalgic about anything, and people only really remember the _really_ good or _really_ annoying stuff 20 years down the line, not the bland stuff that nobody cares about 5 years later.
the 90s are the best decade for music in my opinion...and thats why i still stuck in 90s music xD
Yeah, but for other reasons. 90s music I remember fondly is mostly dance music - all these Eurodance songs and how we danced till morning. 80s was a lot of dance music, too - but on the other hand I often sat at home, listened to the music and the lyrics.
It might be nostalgic but even though I was a teenager in the 90s I still think most of the Euro Dance songs are crap! 😂
@@ellenstergaardgravesen1011 I don't like techno, I don't like rap. There's not much of the 90s left.
'Die Flut' and 'Out of the Dark'. That was one epic year.
Scorpions is a german band yes xD and Beinhart is the theme song from Werner Beinhart Movie - you saw some of that before xD
Not German produced. Actually German. Lou Bega's parents are Ugandan/Italian and they immigrated to Germany in the 70s. Lou is as German as can be. A lot of the people here are. Just cause they're black and sing in English, doesn't make them not German yanno :D I'd hoped that'd sunk in by now.
If his parents are ugandian/italian, he is ugandian/italian too. 😂
@@6Kubik oh nice then i am Irish/ France... well never have been there... But nice to know that you can decide which nationality someone has to have.
@@6Kubik he was born in Germany, has lived there all his life and has a German passport. He couldn’t be more German if he tried.
@@6Kubik in most parts out of the US we dont think we are a nationalaty because our antsesters were from somewhere els, I am german with with austrian ansesters and some france ones, but that dosent make me any of them. i dont speak france and i dont like sachertorte so no, I am german.
@@glockenreinPassport 'german' is not german! Will never be.
Scorpions and Lou Bega aren't just German produced, they are German. lol Winds of Change is one of the best rock ballads ever.
Neither, nor! Bega is mixed ugandan and italian. Living in germany does not make you german. Wind of change is a mediocre song at best.
@@-ripinpieces-8409 he was born in munich you muppet, he is German.
@@-ripinpieces-8409 "Living in germany does not make you German." no, but being born in Germany does make you German and he was born in Munich.
@@LumiliciousThis is just plain wrong. You are not german only because you were born there. German is only a person who has at least one german parent. Check out the german citizen law if you don't believe me. Bega has no german parents so he is not german! It's that simple.
@@-ripinpieces-8409 Shut up with your racist BS.
Lou Bega is NOT only German produced. You could just look all the artists and bands up...
After the enormous success of Snap, other german "Euro-dance" producers produced their hits according to the so-called “Snap-Formel” (Snap-Formula) or humorously called “Ma-ra-Fra-si” (Mann-rappt-Frau-singt, english: man raps, woman sings).
Such a valuable comment! Learned something! Thanks!
So many kpop songs follow this formula
@Perrosol* That "Formula" was called Eurodance ,)
Snap: "That sounded like English" - 'Snap! was the German producers Michael Münzing and Luca Anzilotti, who in 1989 recruited the American singer Penny Ford to add vocals to the beats they had assembled.'
so, the American singer's English shouldn't be that bad...
Snap had 8 female singers over the years (see wiki).
Niki Haris sung "Exterminate" and "Do you see the light" in 1993.
Zu der Musik have ich ganze Wochenenden in der Disko verbracht 😂😍
Funnily enough, Rammstein is not as popular in Germany as abroad. You almost never hear anything from them on the radio.
For god's sake. I thought it is a neo nazi band!?
@@MiaMerkur huh? No, where did you get that idea? Most of their productions aren't particularly political, but they're more left leaning than anything else. They do have a couple of edgy productions _against_ homophobia and Nazis that I suppose you could misunderstand if you don't understand the lyrics very well?
Well it depends on the Radio station. I know a few Stations that are playing them regulary but its a Rock Radio station. Its just not everyones type of music so the bigger station targeting the more "mainstream" people play something else :D
Ist ja auch kein Wunder. > ROW ZERO 👀
@@danceattaxx liegt wohl eher an den kontroversen Texten.
Nicht unbedingt für´s Radioprogramm geeignet.
So the disclaimer at the start was probably related to Rammstein (there were sexual assault allegations against lead singer Til Lindemann last year, though as far as I'm aware there were no charges it still wasn't a good look) and Xavier Naidoo (think Kanye West but german - in terms of crazy shit he's saying, not musically).
Shame, how Xavier ruined his career, with his crazy antics. 😢
I totally forgot "Sie sieht mich nicht" and its such a beautiful song.
@@EllaSilentDragon Yep, as an artist I can respect him, and I've liked a lot of his songs, I wish he wasn't such a nutjob.
Yeah, I was wondering about that disclaimer. I left about a decade ago and have lost touch completely.
As for the SA allegation: he is innocent until proven guilty.
I understand that it's often next to impossible to prove SA (especially in Germany). I remember when that weather dude had his trial and was found innocent ... It showed up the flaws of the system and I doubt anything has been done to improve that?
But ... the case against Lindemann was dropped according to Wiki. And that's that.
And holy moly Xavier Naidoo ... I did not see that one coming. Now, I never liked his art (too schmaltzig), so I'm getting a good chuckle out of this. And yeah, he and Ye should have a podcast together, it would be fire.
@@p.s.shnabel3409 with the SA case actually as far as I know nobody is disputing the facts. The only question was whether what happened qualified as sexual assault or not.
@@p.s.shnabel3409the case of the "weather dude" was a bit like Johnny Depp being assaulted from a bitch to get avlot of money.
Rape or being beaten is so bad and much more common than a lot of oeople think, that a woman who falsely talk from a man as raper/ brutal should be punished harder, so the real cases were taken more seriuosly by the police.
"Were these the original German rappers?" Yes, yes they were and are still around. Highly recommend checking out "der Picknicker" by them with the music video. It's iconic 😅
10:15
Falco - out of the dark was produced 1996/97.
The single release was 3 weeks after the death by accident 27th Feb. 1998. The lyrics of this song and the death of Falco was discussed a lot.
You don't know Marusha? She is THE Number one techno queen in Germany in the 90s. This Music was culture an Berlin its Hotspot. Google Loveparade in the 90s...
The two chubby guys right at the beginning were rather an exception in German pop music.
By the way: Falco was Austrian and DJ Bobo is Swiss
And Mo-Do Italian.
But they are German bc Austrians and Swiss are Germans. I know they don't like that fact, but it is what it is🤷🏼♀️
I mean, they SPEAK German, at least I the German part of Switzerland
I mean, they SPEAK German, at least in the German part of Switzerland
@@AlexandraVioletta we Austrians might speak German, but we are definitely not German...
"Ich find dich scheiße" is eternaly burnt into my brain. I learned it by heart as a kid and I can recite it word by word until today.
The "press conference" of Tic Tac Toe was more memorable to me.😂
@@Reboegga An other iconic moment in german history. But watching it back as an adult really makes you wonder why no grown ups / managers intervened to protect them from destroying their carriers.
@@mabus4910I feel that the producers and media people back when the members of Tic Tac Toe clashed were in part bad-faith actors, and the rest of them incompetent.
Also, there was a component of exoticism and exploitation, that put toxic incentives into the music industry and led to the demise of an otherwise, imho, classy hiphop act.
Mambus, da bist du nicht alleine 😂😂😂
I love the 90s so much. I think it was the most free, most diverse time of humanity. Everybody was able to think and make and do whatever wanted, at least compared to earlier or now.
2000´s as well. i think 1991 - 2011 was the best time in human history (at least in the western hemisphere)
Manches war aber auch einfach nur grottenschlecht. Oli P und Tic Tac Toe zum Beispiel. Und Rammstein produziert seit 30 Jahren immer den gleichen Song mit neuem Titel.
@@stefankaiser3354 Also im Vergleich zu diesem Autotune-Shishabar-Rap ist das alles trotzdem große Kunst. Aber naja das ist Geschmack, mir geht es nur darum, dass es damals mehr Vielfalt und mehr Freiheit gab und dazu gehört auch, dass was Grottenschlecht sein darf und soll. :D
@@vomm
Ich geb Dir Recht, dass es "bunter" war, insbesondere dann, wenn man nicht nur auf die deutschen Produktionen schaut. Die Briten waren in den 90ern nämlich ganz groß mit Bands wie Oasis, Blur und dem ganzen Britpop Ding. Amerika hatte damals noch richtig gute Rockmusik. Die Grunge Bewegung und später die Crossover und NuMetal Bands ala Rage against the Machine. Der Rap war auf seinem Höhepunkt und zwar auf dem amerikanischen, wie auch auf dem europäischen Kontinent! Dieser ganze Autotune Mist und das talentfreie "Geräppe" gepaart mit diesem pseudo Gangster-Gehabe von heute, ist wirklich nur noch unerträglich und wird - von ein paar keinen Jungs einmal abgesehen - auch von fast niemand jenseits der 25 angehört.
Jedoch war es damals in den 90ern tatsächlich auch unsäglich nervig, z.B. im Auto Radio zu hören. Da gab es nur eine Eurodance-Nummer nach der anderen und zwischendurch son Quatsch wie der Holzmichel oder was von Pur, oder sonstigen "Pop-Schlager".
Es war halt nicht alles Gold was glänzt und zwar damals - wie heute 🤷🏼
(Ich hab gestern deutsch kommentiert, obwohl ich es auf deser Seite für angemessen halte, wenn jeder die Möglichkeit zum Mitlesen hat und so auch versteht, um was geht. Deswegen werde ich hierzu nichts weiter kommentieren. Und ich denke ich habe jetzt ohnehin alles dazu gesagt/erklärt)
Tschüss, ähm bye! 🙋🏼
So true
Fun fact: the song in the beginning from Matthias Reim (Verdammt ich lieb dich) is one of the most sold records in germany ever !! Over 2,5 million sold peices worldwide - for a pure german song!
Func fact: Winds of Change was actually produced by an American (Keith Olsen) but the band is german
Well, it's produced by Keith Olsen and Scorpions, so it is still for more than 83% a German production 😆
One of the first group "Wildecker Herzbuben" is related with Bruce Willis 😉
They always remind me of my grandma. As kids, when visiting her, we watched ZDF or ARD and they were always on.😂
I am German and the way how you pronounced "Rammstein" is actually very funny lol😂
Die Fantastischen 4 are so cool and are still on Stage and had huge Hits. Also 2 of them we're in the jury of Voice of Germany (TV Casting Show). Defently one of these German RapBands that's worth to hear. Not that s*hit what's now in air.
SNAP! was really good. Had so many hits and great sounds. Have still the CD of them in my collection. Check it Out, Folks.
Greetings from northern Germany ❤
"Wind of Change" is one of those pieces of art that that were made of inpiration at the place, in this case by the Singer Klaus Meine sitting at nighttime in Gorky Park (hence it's in the song) and... feeling his feelings I guess ^^
The iconic whistling was the first idea for the song, which underlines that.
It was the most sold single and radio song in 1991.
Since 2022 all live version have replaced text with mentions of Ukraine. Too bad that the wind of change and the hope in the song did not come true.
It was also made because 1991 marks the end of the cold war with the collaps of the UDSSR. The song represents the following hope for a more Peacefull and united world just like "Go West". Sadly its been only a hope and the world is more torn appart then ever
Not me, born in 2001, singing "Verdammt ich lieb dich" loud alone in my room
Don't blame you the song is catchy.
@@starryk79 true
Snap was my most favourite band in the 90s. Their song "rythm is a dancer" is still until today one of my favourite songs
The first bearded guy, is a grand grand cousin from Bruce Willis 😅
I think it's his wife who is Bruce Willis' grand cousin. That's really funny. Bruce Willis was born in Germany and has a german mother.
I gotta admit, as a German I didn't know Snap was a German project o.O
But this is a really good list, you should really take some time to listen to some of the songs in full length :)
😁Scorpions located in Hannover/Germany..
1: "Wind of Change"from "Scorpions" was a German Band. Its a Symbole of the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the Reunification
3: "Beinhart" from "Torfrock" WAS the the Theme song of the German Cartoon "Werner". Its from the same Era as "The Little Asshole" you reviewed. And has the same Adult Humor. Not made for Children
5:04 "Das Boot" is a War Movie about a german submarine-crew in WW2, it's a really good movie.
Obviously they put the wrong song for "Ich bin der Martin, ne". What we heard was the next single he released.
Thanks. I was confused.
Ah, I was confused.
It seems you don't know the film "Das Boot" ... the last movie hit made in Germany, from 1980. It's worth watching!
Also, Rammstein are pretty popular in Germany, but oddly enough they didn't produce a lot of number one hits. They were found in 1994 and the song Engel (from this list) was their first big success.
The first success was "Du riechts so gut"
"the last movie hit made in Germany"
As in internationally relevant?
Because there have been plenty of hits since for the German speaking audience.
(On a side note, for people who enjoyed "Das Boot" I would recommend to watch "Stalingrad" (1993) a movie about the battle for the city from a German perspective)
I do not think Rammstein is pretty popular, rather a bit and only from certain kind of people.
@@MiaMerkur you look like haters
@@mandibiedermann2246 Engel got Gold-Status, "Du riechst so gut" not. It got popular after the re-release in 1998. Engel was released in 1997.
I guess the warning label at the beginning was about Xavier Naidoo. He was a big german singer known for his "schnulzige" (romantic and idealistic) music, and he went completely mental during corona in the last few years and is now one of the hardest conspiracy theory supporters out there.
He started preaching and making songs about "Reichsbürger-ideologien" which are like ideologies from a group that wants to throw over the government based on crazy conspiracy theories.
For example they say Germany is not a state but a company founded by the US-government after WW2 and the whole world is ruled by the jews anyway and more crazy stuff like that.
really scary things and a really sad individuum.
Really? What a crap.
@clausanders2886 yeah... sadly, they got quite popular during covid, and there was a big raid a few months ago where a lot of them got arrested. It was scary to see how many weapons they had and how many connections they had to officials in the police, Bundeswehr, or to political parties...
In my opinion, it got quite scary in germany in the last few years with parties like the AFD getting so much votes and people getting more and more polarized and extreme.
@@wripiii That's why I left Germany 20 years ago and I'm more happy about that. Thanks.
wtf, I didn't know that 😨
As far as I know, Naidoo apologized via a YT video in April 2022 for several things he's said or done in the past and that he fell for conspiracy theories and lies. Not sure if it was a comprehensive and genuine apology. Apparently, his change of heart came in the wake of the start of the Ukraine War in February 2022.
As a Brit, I'm not surprised so much was produced over in Germany? I bought loads Rock music LP's and later CD's from the seventies through to the nineties when living here in England and over there, a huge amount of them were pressed in Gütersloh, north-west Germany.
Yes, probably by Bertelsmann. It's the biggest german media company and one of the biggest worldwide and it is based in Güthersloh
This brings back so many memories. And the variety is really great.
I didn't know some of these were German back then either.
Who really cares where a song is from, eh?
Lou bega is not just german produced. Lou bega is german
No he's not, he's a mix of ugandan and italian. Only to live in germany does not make you german.
@@-ripinpieces-8409 His mother is from Italy, his father from Uganda, that's correct. But both immigrated in the 1970s and he was born in Munich Germany, lives in Berlin and has a german passport. So yes, he is german. Born in Germany, lives in Germany, german citizen = german.
If you think he's not a "real German" because of his origins, then you're a racist
@@-ripinpieces-8409 he was born in Munich, hence he's a german.
@@KayaliciousNo, he is not! Just check out the german citizen laws. You're not german only because you were born there! You need at least one german parent to be a german. That is the law!
@@-ripinpieces-8409 boring!
When I was a kid growing up in the UK, I didn't realise how many good songs were released from European countries that English isn't their native language, as I got older, I started to see how many were released, and not just from Germany but many European countries, which many songs were released in English to reach a wider audience.
The same was going on in the 80's and likely happening today, and most are unaware where groups or songs come from.
Even we (german speakers) didn't knew back then because usually many popular songs came from the USA. Funnily enough in 2000s the US songs really dominated due to globalization and when most german artist that sang in english with a german accent lol. Kinda strange that german artists somehow became worse at english singing.
Bro, you are the only guy who us able to break this extrem short clips in three parts😂
3:30 yes the cartoon name is Werner, they are 4/5 Movies, must watch strongly recommended ❤😂
I think he's seen a couple of clips from some of the Werner films before.
Even with subtitles, it's hard to understand what's going on for non-Germans. The cultural references fly right over their head.
I tried showing the infamous soccer intro to my American husband, he was mostly confused. And it's not like he and I don't share a sense of humor at all.
Since so much of German culture remains strictly German, that gap is often insurmountable. That's why you can't market any of Bully's work abroad, that's why Loriot is only funny to people who understand German culture.
Just imagine trying to explain Lissi und der wilde Kaiser and why exactly it's funny. You'd have to start with the original movies, the friction between Austria and Bavaria (both at the time and still existing), the perception of dialects in Germany ... and that's just what I can think of the top of my head.
Schuh des Manitou is even worse in some ways.
@@p.s.shnabel3409 I don't know, I was born and raised in Portugal, for 24 years I decided to move to Germany, and I get it, but I also live here and my friends are mostly Germans, they explained very well, but you are brave trying to explain Fußball to an American, it's probably easy to make of your husband a communist 🤣🤣🤣, both never gonna happen🤣🤣🤣
@@JoaoFranciscoFigueiredo Fussball kann ich leider auch nicht erklaeren ... obwohl ich einen grossen Teil meines Lebens davon umgeben war.
Ich wollte meinem Mann erklaeren, warum die Fussballszene von Werner so witzig ist. Falls Du die Filme noch nicht gesehen haben solltest, schau sie Dir unbedingt an. Wie gesagt, ich habe Traenen gelacht.
Ah, Portugal. Ich spreche leider kein Wort portugiesisch. Aber ich schaetze die Leute und die Kultur, hatte sogar Freunde (aus Porto).
Ich wuensche Dir alles Gute in Deutschland; es kann schwer sein, in einem fremden Land zu leben. Besonders wenn es nicht einfach ist Kontakt zu finden. Deutsche lieben Vereine, falls Du Dich also je einsam fuehlen solltest, tritt einfach einem Verein bei. Die Mitglieder werden Dich "adoptieren" und bevor Du weisst was los ist, hast Du mehr deutsche Bekannte als Du zaehlen kannst.
@@p.s.shnabel3409 Deutschland der Land der Vereinen 😅, passend, ich lebe in Mainz, nur mein Verein ist FC.Sankt Pauli, nein, einsame nie, solo manchmal, Fußball ist nur eine Entschuldigung wenn man nicht gerade solo ist, Drachen frei Zeit zu haben🤦, und ja der Fußball Spiel bei Werner, einfach göttlich 🤣🤣🤣
Im born in 1970,
so i can remember all of the Songs well
,mostly good.
:)
Me too .... I was growing up were these terrific music was played a whole night long at clubs and also huge dance festivals in Germany even for music of the late 80s with so many fun. I will strong hold this for me very emotional time and all these feelings in my memories til I can! Now I am a grandpa of a 9 years old grandson and he was asking me: Whats that for horrible music? He and my own Daughters did'nt know what it means to become old physicaly more and more but I think they will learn in few decades before I have to die?!
In the 90s Eurodance, Techno and EDM became extremely popular. It was hugeeeeee
You dug pretty deep to find such German songs, but you brought back wonderful memories of my childhood.
Fun fact: Scorpions are a full out german band, founded in Hannover. There are other iconic metal bands from the 80s and the 90s that are not exactly known to be german, like e.g. Helloween or Kreator.
"Accept" and perhaps Michael Schenker, or would they be too ancient for him to know?
Another fun fact: There is a pretty famous german ice hockey team named Hannover Scorpions
My most fav Eurodance songs: It's my life (Dr. Alban), Mr.Vain, Be my Lover, Color of my dreams, Coco Jambo.😂
"Beinhart" is a legendary song and I say that as someone who is "only" 21 years old. I love the "Werner" movies, they're some of the best animated german movies ever imo.
This guy "Werne" ist so funny!
The Scorpions are completely German.
3:26 Torfrock „Beinhart“ was an opening to a cartoon, indeed. It was the opening to the movie „Werner beinhart“. You already reacted to a clip (or two?) from one of the Werner movies, but I can‘t remember from which of them it was.
You liked every song of "Die fantastischen Vier" 😀
"What is love?" is a great song... but if you got a colleague named Vladislav it get's weird really quick.
Ich vermisse Falco so sehr! Er ist viel zu früh gestorben. So tolle Musik :( Falco ♥
Absolut, bis heute einer meiner Lieblingssänger.
Scorpions - Wind of Change - was the most played Song when germany reunited 1989. It´s not just a Song, it´s a masterpiece of music, because the´re very talented playing instruments.
a little correction the song was released in 1991 so it couldn't be played in 1989 because it didn't exist back then. But yes it is about the end of to the cold war and the fall of the iron curtain and yes for people who lived through 1989 and were involved with theses events it is the anthem that brings back the memories, the hope that we would now go forward into a brighter future as a united Germany and a united Europe in a safer world. But in 1989 and 1990 no one sang it. In this regard David Hasselhoff with 'Looking for Freedom' fits much better. I was only 9 - 10 at that time living in the former GDR and i was in fact a fan of David Hasselhoff. I can't remember any other songs that were really connected to the events of the time. Wind of Change really took over the connections because it was played so often together with the old video footage of the fall of the Berlin wall. I actually remember that we had it as part of our english lesson the task was to listen to the song and write down the lyrics. Must have been in 5th or 6th grade not completely sure so i either had just started to learn english or i was in my second year of learning it.
Didn't know, snap was German, I am from Germany aswell ^^ you're very entertaining, thank you for saving my evening 😸 can't stop giggling 🤭 and yeah, snap was and is still banger :D like the most of them wtf
Got goosebumps at most of the songs and wtf holy that they're really German production? Very surprising
Abo izzdaaa
Lou bega's song is not only produced in germany but he is actually german
Believe me, Fantastische Vier are still as cool! :D
And it started with Bruce Willis‘ distant relatives - WILDECKER HERZBUBEN ! ❤
„Wilfried Gliem's wife Elke is the great cousin of actor Bruce Willis' mother.“
The singer of 1998 top 3 song Falco, landed the first and only german song that managed to get top 1 on billboard top 100 with Rock me Amadeus. And is considered to have the first commercial successful rap song by a white guy (debatable) but definitely the first commercial successful german rap song with "Der Kommissar" and yes nowadays this is just pop people back than called it hip hop/rap.
(He's also Austrian and a national hero more or less over there. You know you are in Austria when every third song on the radio is by him.)
I'm thinking about moving to Austria, then. I love Falco😢
Fun fact:
The guy in the red jacket with the beard from the first song from 1990 "Herzilein" is related to Bruce Willis. The band is called "Wildecker Herzbuben", it's a german folk music duo
Wilfried Gliem's wife Elke is the great cousin of actor Bruce Willis' mother
Scorpions are from Hannover
That was the music of a comic movie- the one you have watched a snippet from 😊
I was waiting for this reaction. I listen to Eurodance every day since 2002. And my faves were all there: Rhythm is a dance, More and More, Mr. Vain, Omen III and Be my Lover.
I suggest you listening to Minimal, Hands Up, Happy Hardcore and Hard Trance from 98-05 the best of electronic music of Germany, only Germans produced those genres
Some great artists : Cosmic Gate, Brooklyn Bounce, Scooter, Kai Tracid, Rocco, Pulsdriver, DJ Shog, DJ Dean, Alex Butcher, Das Modul, Blümchen, Future Breeze, ATB, Warp Brothers, Special D, Manian, DJs@ Work
Already did. I've been through all of them and only Eurodance stuck with me. It's the sound and the mix of rap and soul that makes the perfect genre.@@mandibiedermann2246
Yeah, no. Too hard, too fast, too much shouting. Just not the same.@@mandibiedermann2246
@@mandibiedermann2246 Fully agree with your list. Kai Tracid especially...
Those OG German rappers that you liked are called "Die Fantastischen Vier" (The Fantastic Four) and yes, they have been instrumental for Rap in Germany. AND they made it without beeing obscene. I can highly recommend you have a look into them.
I don't know if I would fully agree to that they made it without being obscene. They had quite some controversial songs in particular at the beginning of their career. And some of them had also partially obscene lyrics. Some examples are "Frohes Fest" or "Saft" or the song "Arschloch", which was not released as a single and is found on their second album. "Eins und eins" is also quite juicy, it is the B-side of "Frohes Fest" and a german version of the song "All day and all of the night" from the 2 Live Crew, who covered that from the Kinks. But yeah, later on in their career they became more serious with their lyrics.
Poor Thing the always forget wolfsheim - sparrows and nightingales from 1990
I still listen to some of these songs :) Glad you like them, too :)
4:08 Yes, theScorpians are a German group from Hanover.
Nosie Katzman was THE producer of dance music in the 90s. Later he recorded all his dance hits as country songs. Great album!
Lou Bega (Mambo #5) is cuban-german, lives (lived/ raised up) in Munich
The 90s, what a time.
0:56 I don't know if they are referring to that but Rammstein f.e. had a huge scandal last year
I'm pretty sure they're not. The video is from 2019.
Xavier Naidoo is the main culprit here.
@@zelmawood oh that could definitely be. Thanks for clarifying
@@zelmawood timing wise for the disclaimer, yes for sure. But from the current perspective, i'd say both, still
I am originally from Germany now living in Texas and I totally loved your reactions
Omg I feel so young now again :) The 90s were amazing. Ryan you missed the Loveparade years. Thank you for this little journey through the times :) Best wishes from germany to you.
you'll need to watch 10 kleine Jägermeister with translated lyrics at some point 😂
it´s a parody on a song germans may not sing nowadays,
the original song is from 1868
I had a picture book in the 80s I think.
10:02 Scooter is know for their "interesting" songtitles and phrases in the songs. There are some funny compilations i can recommend to watch. Great music tho 😊
Scooter are legends
Ha, yeah, their lyrics never made any sense but it didn't matter because the beat was so addictive 😅
I'm completely blown away. So many top songs are from Germany? This is something I as a German citizen didn't even knew.
Me and my boyfriend saw your video. We celebrate it!! Greetings from Saxony, Germany. :) ♡
You better react to a Scorpions catalogue then, they're from Hanover. And Winds of Change hits hard. For many, many years after it was a symbol of unification and the end of the Cold War.
Haddaway and DJ Bobo are a bit more than just German produced as well😂😂😂. Haddaway is half German and DJ Bobo is from Switzerland😘
Haddaway is more interesting than that! His father was dutch, his mother from Trinidad, he lived both in the US (I think he might have even been a US citizen?) and Germany for a long time and has now resided in Austria for a long time.
Number 3, the one that you described as 'Opening to a Cartoon', was actually the title song of the movie, which you can see some scenes of. And yes, it is an absolute treasure~
The singer of the song (or at least one of them), is actually the artist who created 'Werner' the character the movie/movies is/are about! ^^
The sound clip used for #4 of 1991 is actually NOT "Ich bin der Martin, ne", but another song by the same artist with the nice and easy title "Santamarghuaritanobiledimontepulciano (Du kleines Fischerdorf)".
3:46 it's from a movie. You've watched the football match on the market place scene from it in a previous video.
One of the two fat guys in the very beginning is actually the cousin of the great Bruce Willis !!!! THIS IS NOT A LIE 😂
In the first song is a Family member of Bruce Willis
As said before, the Scorpions are a german band, they are from Hannover.
Die Wildecker Herzbuben. Ich hatte sie schon ganz vergessen. 😂
"Die Wildecker Milzbuben mit ihrem Hit: Milzilein"
Watch Kalkofe. He can can tell you everything about the Herzbuben, you never wanted to know.
Haddaway IS a German guy, isn't he? Lou Bega, too. The Scorpions as well ARE German, not only produced in Germany.
Nestor Alexander Haddaway was born in Trinidad and Tobago in 1965 but moved to Cologne, Germany in 1989.
Lou Bega is German (born in Munich).
edit : yea right, the dentist was "Dr. Alban"
@@alphab3ta I thought the dentist was this "Sing Halleluja"- guy!?
@@Winona493 yes o.O how could I mix that up
Haddaway played trumpet and worked in bars (as musician?) wiki says.
Thank you for this trip back to my youth! :)
The 90s were mainly Dance/Trance/Techno, and Rap/Hip Hop.
"Wind of change" is actually a hymn to /of the german reunion!! Scorpions we love you for ever!!!
I love the Music Reaction.
