bist du verruckt?
somehow while perusing youtube i stumbled across this video… now i had to share it with someone – but i’ve gone back and thought about it and well the other five people that read my posts might be amused as well – and i’ve been meaning to post some other influential german music – so here goes – vertig?
back in the early to mid eighties i was in high school – really, not ‘high’ school – i… nevermind… anyway ich ware in deutschland gebortet… vier kilometer von mein grossvater – yeah ich habe alles vergessen… i thought as a high schooler i’d reconnect with my germanic roots – so i took german for three years… scheisse – it was probably a year and a half too many… but our german teacher, who looking back was an incredibly fair and really nice guy (and also a key club advisor – and i connected much better on that level) tried to play us some tunes that were hip in germany… and i think this was one of the first… obviously it later became a huge part of volkswagon’s american advertising campaign… and listening to trio always brings a smile to my face…
three men in/around a double bed… wtf?!? in the 80′s?!? i was still wishing i was jack in three’s company or gilligan stranded with mary ann and ginger… but to each his own…
and then there came – well not came like in the above reference – more like ‘onto the scene’…
as if joan jett and her cherry bombs weren’t hot enough… (this has nothing german about it – but what the hell – it’s what came to mind – so to speak…)
schwing… one of the best badasses in the biz…
and the ending – at least the sound of an explosion best ends this here post… otherwise i’d have to go find a train wreck video somewhere…

omg…TRIO! I remember when Volkswagen used that Da Da Da song for their commercials and it was such a huge hit in the late 90s. I ended up buying a CD of their greatest hits and it was so awesome. I remember cruising around the tourist trap blaring Da Da Da and one time a person yelled, “You’re not driving a Volkswagen so you can’t play that song.”
