2004 "die perfekte welle" was just beginning to explode but from one day to the other it wasn't heard any more at all. The reason? "Die perfekte Welle" translates to "the perfect wave" and as it was at the peak of it's popularity the terrible 2004 Tsunami hit the news and a fun song about a perfect wave couldn't be played in the radio any more. Nobody knows how big the song would have been without this bad timing.
Oh wow, I wasn't aware of that! I remember this song so well from my childhood... Might just be because it was on singstar though, i don't really know :D
The most influential musicians on this list were undoubtedly "Kraftwerk", here in 1978. They are considered the inventors of electro-pop and therefore represent the most important German contribution to popular music of the 20th century. If you look at how many great ones Names were influenced by the music of this German band and what influence this music had on the development of other, further styles, you can also understand that... An excerpt from Wiki: "Founded in 1970, Kraftwerk has become known primarily through pioneering work in the field of electropop. Kraftwerk's music influenced numerous musical styles such as synthpop, electro, Detroit techno, house, disco and also had a decisive influence on the beginnings of hip-hop. In 1997, the New York Times described Kraftwerk as the "Beatles of electronic dance music." Some also rate them internationally as the most influential music group of all time. In 2021, Kraftwerk became the first German band to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame." ruclips.net/video/GEnx9xS79Lc/видео.html
After this kind of compilations you need to watch the whole songs cause many of these short clips don't even show a little bit of the potential of this great songs. For example 'Schrei nach Liebe' by Die Ärzte, you barely can hear a word of these genius song here. That's a shame! So, please give it a try ( probably not on YT, because of the risk of blocking) and you also should search for english translations of the lyrics. Of corse, some are just fun songs but many have a very deep important meaning, worth to know, to understand the german music. Greetings from Berlin 😎
Yep, the problem with these "compilations", and especially these massive and varied ones. So many worthwhile songs... and you only get a couple of seconds. It's always difficult to get into music in a language you do not know. Sure, lot's of music is just standard tropes, but so often there's deep, insighful, inspiring, though-provoking or just downright funny lyrics... that people just miss out on. Would be interesting to make a list of all the songs featured here, talking a bit more indepth about the background and content.
2:31 : In case, no one told you yet: Torfrock's "Beinhart" is the title song to the "Werner" cartoon you've already reacted to 😂 You know - the glorious Market-Football-game. I'm not from northern Germany myself, so let's just say - rumor has it- that Torfrock is what we call "Kult" at least in Northern Germany... I myself saw them in 2022...I don't actually think it's a rumour 😂😂
Yeah, this video, as the title says, is specifically only songs that are written in the German language. Technically, they could be from anywhere but it'll all be German, Austrian or Swiss, most likely. Basically, with all these kinds of videos, the shtick is a bit different. Some show the most successful songs from Germany/Germans, some those in German and others show the songs that came from anywhere but were successful in Germany itself. You can usually tell from the title.
The one you scrolled back to was a girl band called Tic Tac Toe. They were only active for a short while, but I was around 12-14 years old at the time and they were one of the first bands I bought CDs of. They had a lot of publicity drama around breaking up the band etc., and I felt/feel that it was pushed by producers in order to burn through them and make as much money as possible from the process. Which was regrettable, because they really resonated with me as a young teen girl.
Minute 5:40: Yes, but you always see just a few interpreters, but there are different types of musicians and styles. And it depends on the kind of song how a music video is presented. Although, on the other hand, you're right...
4:54 You dont really feel Unheilig when you dont know german language but if people do understand the language the song will hit hard into the heart i can say that!
The song at the beginning you said its fire was the austrian singer (and legend) Falco with Amadeus (Mozart). On March 29, 1986, "Rock Me Amadeus" went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. No German-language song had succeeded in doing this before, and no one would succeed in doing so, not until today!
Tic Tac Toe was a very good tennager band. But they got arguments and seperate. One woman of them was in the german 'the mask singer' and live now in Bulgaria, I think. But I cannot remember the names. A long time ago. At the time they were famous in Germany, they were teenagers.
Never seen or heard that one at 2:50 before, but it looks like the video was inspired by clips from other famous videos of around that time - Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" (the train on tracks around his head) and Genesis "I Can't Dance" (the group walking robotically in a line)
Check out Gulcha Candela. They are hyper. As are Seeed/Peter Fox, Adel Tawil/Ich+Ich and (were) Roxette. Die Prinzen, Tic Tac Toe and Ben are with my favorites.
Ich verstehe dich... als Amerikaner total überfordert mit der deutschen Art... heute so, morgen anders und später wieder auf Anfang 😂😂 geht mir auch so, vielleicht bin ich auch Amerikaner🤔 ich weiß nicht, was meine Oma '45 gemacht hat... 🤷♀️
2:05 - This video looks completely crazy of course, but I have a soft spot for EAV after they had a minor hit here in the UK with their song "Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery" (the English version of course), which I found addictively silly! ruclips.net/video/8JXmzPr6bkA/видео.html 2:50 - Never seen or heard that one before, but it looks like the video was inspired by clips from other famous videos of around that time - Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" (the train on tracks around his head) and Genesis "I Can't Dance" (the group walking robotically in a line)
I cannot say anything about these comparisons - as I was born in 1995 and have no clue of the pop culture back then, but the band you're refering to at the 2:50 is the most famous and successfull, also the first ever German rap band. They're actice until today ("Die Fantastischen Vier" = The Fantastic Four or shortly just "Fanta Vier")
At least their breaking apart was legendary (some years later the three of them met again for Pro7 but of cours did not join again, just speaking out and forgiving [or pretend to - idk - and probably earning some money by this]).
It was all playback that time thats why you hardly see them moving their mouthes. Look the "Milly Vanilly Scandal" up. Thats when it all went viral. They took beautiful looking men only moving their mouthes and a diferent band sung the actualy songs. Went bad for the producer that time :D
😄: we're reacting to the most popular songs in German 1 minute later 😮: so there are probably only German songs and nothing from the US That's probably because Americans usually don't write songs in German 😂
Which is a good thing, considering the attiude a lot of Americans have toward foreign languages (and the "harshl" German language especially). I don't know if I would want to listen to a song in German written and perfomed by an American. But in that regard... it would be interesting to see a general reaction to _English_ songs performed by Germans. Can English speaker reliably tell? I'd say there's a lot of width... on the one hand, you have bands like "The Scorpions", who are as German as they come, but who most English speakers aren't even aware that they are. And on the other hand there's something like Nena's "99 Red Balloons", which have me cringe in proxy-shame with her heavy German accent.
@@Groffili same as the scorpions with lou bega or haddaway. In reactions I always hear comments like: no way they're from Germany, they are definitely from the US

The best song of the 90s is missing in this list: "rhythm is a dancer" by snap!

Your absolutely on point Pablo. It’s all about perception without awareness.
Ich und Ich and their song " so soll es bleiben" is actually something to react to. just mentioning 😉
4:54 You dont really feel Unheilig when you dont know german language but if people do understand the language the song will hit hard into the heart i can say that!
Tic TacTo she sings about her real husband who hanged himself in the attic. She processes the tragedy in the song
No, the Song was about an Drug Addicted Friend who died.
@@cherrypinky2191 Fun fact: it was written by the same dude who wrote "out of the dark"
The song at the beginning you said its fire was the austrian singer (and legend) Falco with Amadeus (Mozart). On March 29, 1986, "Rock Me Amadeus" went to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. No German-language song had succeeded in doing this before, and no one would succeed in doing so, not until today!
Didn't Tokio Hotel succeed at this? But I guess it was with their English version of Monsoon?
@@SamWinchester000 Tokio Hotel - a curious electro-Goth-glam-emo boy band that had climbed no higher than No. 39 on the Billboard 200.
Of course we also heard all kinds of international songs in Germany.
Tic Tac Toe was a very good tennager band. But they got arguments and seperate. One woman of them was in the german 'the mask singer' and live now in Bulgaria, I think. But I cannot remember the names. A long time ago. At the time they were famous in Germany, they were teenagers.
Was she really? Because Bulgaria and Masked Singer rings Lucy Diakovska from No Angels to me 😅
Maybe what you are expierencing while watching these songs form different years is the zeitgeist.
Never seen or heard that one at 2:50 before, but it looks like the video was inspired by clips from other famous videos of around that time - Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" (the train on tracks around his head) and Genesis "I Can't Dance" (the group walking robotically in a line)
The song translates to "everything just stolen" so the point of the video is every idea is just stolen from a another one.
@@whatever1661 Ahh of course. That makes sense! 😆

the tic tac toe song is about drug abuse with death as a result. The message is good, but personally i can't stand the messager ... i hate tic tac toe

I loved them!
