Fruit Salad and Mixed Veg

... blogging the suburbs since 2005...

Why bother?

, , , ,

I was raised listening to 'old people's radio' ie, music from the 60s and 70s. What amazes me is that this music has lasted and still sounds good. I doubt anyone will be listening to Emiliana Torrini's 'Jungle Drum' (currently #1 in Germany) in 40+ years.

Listening to the radio at work on Friday, I recognised a song on the radio....I quickly realised it was a really bad cover of a good song.

Good: The Kinks, Waterloo Sunset

Bad: Def Leppard (whoever they are!), and their why-did-they-bother version of Waterloo Sunset At 1:00 minutes it gets really bad!



Hmmm I was just looking at the other songs in the German charts....
Das geht ab by Frauenarzt and Manny Marc is number 9. I had never heard the song up until 1 minute ago...and I didn't need to hear it. Why would you call your 'band/group/whatever' Frauenarzt? Or, in English, gynecologist :| The song is about these losers going to parties and partying the whole night long....I find it hard to believe they get invited to parties, going by how they dress. I would be embarassed to be seen with someone who dresses so badly.

He is called Fauenarzt because hes a really cool Rapper :wink:
I also don't like that "Das geht ab-Song" but its a hit on every party the DJ plays it, and for sure in the 17th federal state, called Mallorca. :smile:

The voll fett krass kids are the usual listeners to that, but they make some music called "Atzenmusik" its not Hip-Hop or Rap, its more or less ok.
