German music, dancing and songs.

Otto satirizes a range of well-known German musicians and their habits, including lip-synching, with the tale of Hänsel and Gretel:



Otto and the Smurfs:

Ein Heller und ein Batzen:

Originally from Prussia.

Radetzky March - Johann Strauss.

Austrian classical march.

Absolutely magical!

Heino - Ich wil ein Bier

Now does that need translation?



Trink, Trink, Bruederlein, Trink:

Interesting fusion, traditional dance with African drums:




Bavarian Beer Festival - New York.

Thanks so much ColoradoJens, that means a lot, and same to you mate!

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the songs!

Nina Hagen performs Seemann live at the Halloween Hit Show.

A memorable performance, I'd say:

Left-wing resistance song from Germany, recorded in 1933.

Ernst Busch - Der Marsch Ins Dritte Reich:



What must have been risky satire at the time - of all the strange and wonderful leaders Germany could have had - why oh why did they choose that idiot?



Humorous song against post-War American imperialism:

Gay and lesbian liberation song from Berlin, 1921.

The Lavender Song/Das Lila Lied (English version):

Dschinghis Khan

Moskau



Dschinghis Khan



Rocking son of Dschinghis Khan



Pistolero



Klabautermann



Hadschi Halef Omar

Goodness I am blessed today!

Thank you so much Hellmutt for that fantastic collection of music.

I love Dschinghis Kahn!

Strange to think that Boney M and the Goombay Dance Band were also essentially German groups.

But "the Khan" is the best and original.

Vielen Dank!

Goombay Dance Band:

Sun of Jamaica

Satire meets masculine stereotypes.

DJ Oetzi - Anton Aus Tirol:



Klaus & Klaus - Da Sprach Der Alte Haeuptling Der Indianer:
