I'm sure you're all familiar with "Rock Me Amadeus" and "Der Kommissar", but i'd never heard this one before from the same era.

 

The chorus is great, but the German spoken word verses don't exactly suit an AOR ballad.

The end of the second verse hilariously sounds like a Hitler rant.

Absolutely!

Apparently it was quite controversial back in the day and banned in several countries.

Not speaking German, i have no idea why.

The clip makes it look like he killed the girl, i dunno?

Its because it had overtones/suggestions of stalking and rape.

 

The song was actually a trilogy - he released part II called 'Coming Home' and part III called 'The Spirit Never Dies'....both totally cheesy but pretty catchy at the same time.

 

Can't believe I know all this shite....God Im sad :(

English lyrics to the 2nd verse -

 

It's cold, we have to come out of here, come on

Your lipstick is blurred

You bought it and I saw it

Too much red on your lips and you said:

“Leave me alone“

But I've seen you through, the eyes say more than words

You'll need me after all, hmh?

All people know that we're together from today,

now I hear them! They're coming

They're coming to get you

They won't find you

Nobody will find you, you're with me

Falco was cool. Many great songs in his catalogue.

Growls or no growls this is a killer song. And in case you are wondering....yes i would ;)

Agreed, I would to but once she started with the 'give it to me big boy' in that voice I'd be out the door in a flash!

Great song, but i just can't handle the cookie monster vocals.

At least her hair's the right colour.

CureThe Sane reminded me of this Elton John song I'd forgotten and now I can't get it out of my head. (Funeral for a friend/Love lies bleeding). How many flipping drumkits has the guy got on the stage?

I've got the vinyl of that album lying around in the attic somewhere if I remember rightly. May have to dig it out.

I love Lacuna Coil's cover of Depeche Mode 'Enjoy the Silence' too, that gets put on repeat.

I've been playing this song a lot lately as it is one of the few songs that really suit my voice.

I do the acoustic and my daughter has started doing the electric.

 

Great song. When I relistened to it recently I became addicted to it all over again

Used to love "Cracked Rear View," is that the name of the album? But that's about all I know of Hootie and the Blowfish.

    • Added Framing the Red over on the main site recently: Framing the Red discography reference list of music CDs. Heavy Harmonies Their website: Framing The Red Their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/framingtheredband Their YouTube channel: (23) Framing the Red Official Page - YouTube They have four releases, and all are quite good in my opinion. If I had to describe them, I'd say this is what Gunshine would sound like if they went in a more southern rock direction.  Here are some of my favorite tracks... Crossroads   Whiskey & Weed   Holy Water   Mississippi Hippie   Heroes   Bonnie & Clyde   Rockin' Into the Night (38 Special cover)   "Crossroads" and "Heroes" are probably my two faves.  *I will give a word of warning:  if you decide to purchase any of their discs, they are barebones releases with just the CD in a cardboard slipcase. I enjoy the music enough that that's not an issue for me though.  @lettard @KarpetRydOFunk @tts42572 @AlphaMale @Dead Planet @Mr.AOR @tobi is an animal I think all of you gentlemen should give these guys a listen and see what you think. 
    • H.E.A.T - 1000 Miles Vega - Hands In The Air The Defiants - Stay Issa - River of Love I'm at work right now so that's all I know off the top of my head but I'll look through my library for more when I get a chance.
    • Maybe anything by the Darkness
    • Wig wam - hard to be a rock n roller
    • Saw these guys first time a couple of years ago, when they were 16-17 years old, they are absolutely awesome. They have been touring for a few years now, performing their own songs, yet haven't released anything, until now. I have tickets to see them this saturday, opening for Mercenary. First single and video:  
    • I want to compile quite an extensive playlist of hard rock songs that has a key change in the end. Why? Cause I think it sounds awesome Some well known exambles are: Bon Jovi - Living On a Prayer Wig Wam - In My Dreams Danger Danger - Don't Blame it on Love H.E.A.T - Beg Beg Beg
    • My Japan copy showed up today. I was critical of the Part I album as that one just did very little for me.  Basically, I just didn't think the songs were all that catchy and/or memorable.  I played that album a handful of times trying to get into it and gave up rather quickly which was disappointing as I loved Wired.  Maybe I just had too high of expectations or something.  I know many liked that album but for me at least, that Megalomanium I album would be ranked toward the bottom of their discography. Well, after hearing this new one, I'm feeling the opposite....Here I feel like they nailed it and I'm digging this one after the first listen.  I basically couldn't wait to start it over and listen again. The first 5 songs just come out guns a blazing with catchy, hook filled songs.  Yeah, we've heard 4 of those songs as singles but I almost purposely haven't listened to those songs much so they'd still sound fresh when the album dropped.  Then the one song we hadn't heard, All I Want, is just another upbeat, catchy tune. The 2nd half though is where things probably get more interesting.  Songs like Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye are the kinds of varied balladish/mid-tempo type songs I've been wanting Eclipse to mix things up with and there's 2 of those songs here, both very well done IMO.  Then there's a couple heavier tunes like Divide & Conquer and One In A Million that sound like stuff that could've been on Bleed & Scream.  And then a couple other melodic rockers with Until the War is Over and Pieces. I also feel like this has some of the better lyrics that Eclipse has had in awhile.  I think a lot of their material recently has been just been sort of lighter subject matter, 3 minute "simplistic" romps.  I felt Part I had a lot of that which kind of contributed to it being less interesting.  Here though, it seems like some of these songs get a bit deeper and can feel more emotion in songs like Still My Hero, Dive Into You and To Say Goodbye for example.   Anyways, where Part I is among my least favorite Eclipse albums, I'd say my early impression of Part II is that it'll be among my favorite Eclipse albums. 
    • New song 'Unbreakable'.    
    • Solid hard rock album. Nothing really stood out to me, but it’s solid.
