3:00 Nena also made an english version of the song since the german original version already got very popular across the globe. the english title is 99 red balloons. used for example in one of the episodes of the tv show Scrubs.
if we wanna be exact, falco was austrian and not german. He died 1998 in an car accident while on alcohol and drugs. But he was a kind of genious artist.
You could even argue, Falco was the first one who sort of rapped/ had rap parts in his songs, in the German, like 10 years before people started claiming to be the first rapper in Germany.
The 1984 film "Amadeus" was a huge hit. It inspired Falco to produce that song and video. Notice he was also on the list for Der Kommissar; Falco was awesome!
ABBA were furious when they learned that their manager (or maybe publisher?) gave permission to Edelweiss for using S.O.S on "Bring Me Edelweiss". There was an English version of "99 Luftballons", titled "99 Red Balloons". It ranked #1 on the UK single charts, the German version ranked #2 on the US charts. Milli Vanilli became synonymous for lypsyncing to playback performers as the two guys representing the group weren't the actual singers. Caused a mayjor backlash when it was exposed which brought one of them into alcohol & drxgs, sadly a combination of both led to his passing at the age of 33. The other one now performs under the stage name Milli Vanilli, singing himself.
the singer nicole won the eurovison song contest for germany with her song "ein bisschen frieden" (a little bit of peace) like a flower on winterbegin like a pier in icy wind like a doll who isnt liked anymore i feel like this on some days i see the clouds above us i hear the scream of the birds in the wind i sing a song out of fear from the dark and hope nothing happens *refrain:* *a little bit of piece* *a little bit of sunshine* *for this earth that we live on* *a little bit op piece* *a little bit of happyness* *a little bit of warmth* * is what i wish for* *a little bit of piece* *a little bit of dreaming* *so that people dont cry that much* *a little bit of piece* *a little bit of love* *so that i dont lose hope anymore* i know my songs dont change much im just a girl who says how she feels alone im helpless a bird in the wind who knows a storm begins *refrain*
Nena sang the German original and released an english version as well a year later which climbed all the way to #1 in th UK. 99 Luftballons and 99 red ballons
Der Deutsche war mal sehr kreativ und feinfühlig, das geht leider von der Tendenz her verloren und die Menschen werden immer chaotischer und oberflächlicher. Diese Veränderung findet übrigens nicht nur in der Musikindustrie statt, was sehr schade ist..
The turning point came with "Cher - Believe" in 1998, the first song to prominently feature autotune. In another 25 years 99% of radio music will be AI generated. You can get first impressions if you look on YT for: Margot Huber - Radio (Official Lyric Video)
@@alidemirbas6566 For me the downfall began around 1987 (which is astonishingly precise). The 70s and 80s were quite innovative, the 90s had some individual highlights, but were focussed of selling the records and collections from before... now on CD. No wonder, that the music industry just earned money, but did not innovate!
Despite the English Version not being a direct translation, it still captured the essence of the original. The song became a huge hit in the U.S. and several other english-speaking countries, solidifying Nena's place in pop history 🎈
The reason why Milli Vanilli is on this list, is because it was produced by Frank Farian , the same person who helped Boney M.bproducing they songs. RIP Frank Farian, one of the greats. Died this year in January. Also for your question, you could react to Rock Me Amadeus by Falco (with english translation), Major Tom by Peter Schilling (it has a english version like Nenas Song) or Das Omen Teil 1 by Mysterious Art and 3:43 the song title is simple "Men", a song about "clichés" of men's but also stuff that isn't typical for men. Also it includes several time the question "When is a man a man?"(background was the topic of the different roles of men and women at the time)
Rip frank farian? Really? Dude was a money hungry fraudulent exploiter!!!!! #JusticeForRobPilatus #JusticeForFabMorvan BTW....rob pilatus was an American adoptee who was born and raised in Germany.
Frank Farian didn't help Boney M., he founded this group and his voice is immortalized on almost all of Boney M.'s tracks! Boney M. was his idea. In which he selected the members of Boney M. through an artist agency...
@@Marc-zi5cq Yes, they lived in Germany, but they were not and are not German. The women's voices from Jamaica and Monserat (British Caribbean island). Bobby came from Aruba (Dutch Caribbean island)... Sorry - Was a misunderstanding. The comment should go somewhere else. Someone called Boney M. Dutch...
And they're absolutely fabulous in their silliness with costumes and videos. Love them like hell because they remind me of things I grew up with here in Sweden. And EAV is/was from Austria.
A lot of the German songs were in English in hopes they would get traction outside the country. Sometimes it worked, sometimes not. I’d love to see a full video of the Da da da song. It sounds kind of familiar to me and I’d like to see if I actually do know it or not. Amadeus is another one to do a full video of. I loved that song as a kid. Video doesn’t make a lot of sense but the costumes are beautiful.
Nicole won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1982 with that song, being the first German who won the prize. Spider Murphy Gang were a band from Munich, Bavaria, who said that their name was inspired by Elvis Presley's "Jailhouse Rock", where there's the line "Spider Murphy's playing on the saxophone". They wanted to play plain rock'n'roll without fussing around, combing it with "standard German" and Bavarian lyrics. Nena's "99 Luftballons", I think, even hit the U.S. charts as "99 Red Balloons", the English version sung by herself. It was an anti-war song. (Remember, we had the "cold war" back then.) Modern Talking were controversial back in the days because you couldn't avoid hearing at least one of their songs on the radio or even in clubs, and they all sounded much the same, and the lyrics were simple and sometimes plain stupid. The Other Ones, yeah, never knew the band name, but "Holiday" of course was a song everybody knew. I liked it. Edelweiß were, as far as I remember, a "one hit wonder". Never noticed the similarity to Abba's "SOS", but now as you say it, I think I'll have to listen to the full song again. Well, alright, good compilation. Glad you remembered some tunes. Was a long time ago, no wonder you can't remember details.
So some of the ones that were known international hits and u might wanna react on separately: Any song of Alphaville from the "Forever Young" album (here it's the "Big in Japan", "Forever Young" and "Sounds Like a Melody") Sandra - Maria Magdalena Falco - Rock Me, Amadeus and Jeanny (great song & videoclip) Opus - Live is Life (huge hit) Most songs of Modern Talking and Milli Vanilli were very popular (so much so that I got allergic from them).
So many good songs in there... Jeanny, Big in Japan, Maria Magdalena, Atlantis is calling. The last one is more a guilty pleasure and pride for my region thing because Thomas Anders, their front singer, is from my neighbourhood😂
Milli Vanilli sold approximately 30 million singles. However, their success turned to infamy when it was discovered that the two performers, Morvan and Pilatus, did not sing any of the vocals on their music releases. Their Grammy Award was revoked.
Fend rich, EAV (the mask was from the penguin costume, cause their vids in the 80s had some cartoons in it or in the cover and they were a “funny” troop), Falco (not really pop, but rap) and opus (life is life) are all Austrians. Falcons “jeanny” was forbidden on the radios before midnight, cause the song and vid were very controversial at the time (stalker catches the girl and kills her), eav had funny songs but with a very social undertone, fendrich had the typical famous (in the 80) Austrian pop vibe “true and critical, but make it fun) (others in his league were more critical and dark). Milli Vanilli were tragic story. The producer was the liar and the asshole, but all the blame tsunamid on the guys. Frank farian (the producer, also did the same with Bonny M) worked until his death and was never really blamed or ridiculould for his actions.
Full length reaction of german songs would be great indeed. From this list: DÖF - Codo Nino de Angelo - Jenseits von Eden And from other decades: Xavier Naidoo - Ich kenne nichts Joachim Witt - Die Flut
I guess by the lack of responds he doesn't read his comment section, does he? So it is of no use to tell him, that the success of "Milli Vanilli" became one of Germanys (and europes) greatest music scandals in the 80s. The two really sharp looking dudes with the nice dance moves couldn't sing for the life of it...but the real band wasn't so niceon a cover and nobody wanted them either.
Yes, well.... The original singer was once on a German tv show called supertalent I believe. And it was not good what he sung, and the jury "send him home".
They have all been German songs, some only for the German market, other for the international market and therefore sung in English. Many strange songs made it into the charts because the chats in Germany were split in two. Best-selling songs and singles, the single charts were charged separately. Due to mass-produced records (LPs) with various artists that were sold for very little money in supermarkets, even exotic songs made it into the German charts. However, no one would have bought a single or album from these artists.
4:30 Falco was one of the greatest if not the greatest Austrian musician that ever lived! at least thats what i think (not counting classical musicians like Mozart, Strauss,..) i would recommend you check out some stuff from Falco like Jeanny, Rock me Amadeus, Vienna calling, Der Kommisar
English has been sum sort of a common European language, since ww2 had ended 😅 For several reasons, it has been quite popular, to sing in English, even though only about 20% of the germans would speak recognizable English, where you can expect a proper respond... Just saying... Spider Murphy Gang: skandal im sperrbezirk= red light distict!!! Great song, still is
Ja und was sagt uns das? Diese sprechen kein Deutsch? In diesen Listen auf YT geht es um "Deutsch" im Bezug zu den Titeln.. Sprache, Künstler oder auch Produktion... Da darf dann auch Englisch gesungen werden...
Maybe someone posted this before, but Milli Vanilli were pretty popular for a very short time and there whole success blew up in a big scandal because it came put they weren't singing themselves. There is a movie about their story: th-cam.com/video/yr8wxIzHLzM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kulXNZoCGO1oul83
The swedish Band ABBA has given musical licenses for her melodys to different other bands over the years. For example "SOS" to the "Edelweiss Projekt" or "Money, Money, Money" to Madonna. Benny & Björn from ABBA written also many songs for other famous singers and musicians.
@AlterSchwede73 Yes and No, they gave Madonna a license for one special sample of "gimme, gimme, gimme" (for her song "hang up") and another license for the whole melody of "money, money, money". But Madonna had never written or released a song with this melody- license.
Goombay Dance Band aus Deutschland, das war unsere DDR Zeit.Überall war in Deutschland Musik wirklich überall!Du kennst noch mehr Musik aus Deutschland nicht.
I remember this mask as a medieval mask from a plague doctor but this song refers to a date with a pinguin costume I think. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pestdoktor
The Edelweiss story is as funny as unique. The English electropop/art project duo KLF (also known as Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu/JAMMs/The Timelords) wrote a satirical but also exact manual called The Manual (yes) about making top list hits (based on their struggles, successes and other experiences in the music industry) and the Austrian group - a similarly anarchic bunch of friends - used it step by step to make 'Bring Me Edelweiss'. The outcome: Nr.1. spot in 6 countries and Top 10 status in 10 others. (I don't know Cauty and Drummond - the KLF guys - what did feel when saw the Viennese team's success by an ABBA parody - after the Swedish quartet and its management torpedoed their own earlier Dancing Queen caricature, 'The Queen & I' - but I wouldn't be surprised if they had some mild sneer on their face... 😀)
99 Luftballons even made it onto a radio station in the game GTA Vice City... it's even the German version of 99 Luftballons, not the English one.  Feedback Webergebnis mit Sitelinks
As a decades-long ABBA fan, I am deeply ashamed to admit that I never noticed "Bring me Edelweiß" was an ABBA rip-off. I remember the time when Bring me Edelweiß was played endlessly on the German radio. In my defense, I can only say that "S.O.S." has always been one of my least favorite ABBA songs. Kudos to you for spotting the similarity! I now also notice that the tropical-bird-like screams in Edelweiß are directly copied from "Falco - Amadeus", they are identical but shorter.
Minute 5:26 - i am confused. You ask for comments (and i did some this time again) - But on a serious note, i have watched multiple reactors to stuff, so thats how you got into my algorithm. You don't seem to react at all to comments... which is kind of sad? Because i did exactly that to another video of yours: comment my experience, mentioned stongs and... nothing happend - 2 weeks later and i have come to the conclusion that you don't react to yt comments at all...? sry but thats kind if a red flag (imho)
1:26 Ein bisschen Frieden (a little bit of piece), ein bisschen Sonne für diese Erde (a little bit of sun for this Earth) that's the translate to english of #5 in 82. 😊🙏🏻
@@Cureboy Well... After all, the two losers brought us the great unplugged wave on MTV. When I think of how Nirvana played "The Man who sold the World" by David Bowie unplugged. Absolutely brilliant! And many, many other artists... Every coin has two sides...
Ironically I had a few country music mixtapes in the 80s that I listened to all the time. I was in elementary school back then. Out of this list I only listened to Milli Vanilli
7:03 - Was soll das ? - You know him, Herber Grönemeyer, the german bruce springsteen for sure for his art but you are unaware of that. War correspendent WERNER on board of a glorious famous german submarine leaving lorient and fignthing the weather and oceans in DAS BOOT - under command of the Kaleu or Kapitänleutnant, commander of the submarine aka Jürgen Prochnow, the silent young old boy. Remember his small dialogs about the situation at home and the famous leader with his paroles that the thommy is dead - but now when convoy after convoy get through the blocade and reach the UK and his comments about the old guard THOMSEN, that famous moment, when they passed the submarine of Thomsen the guy and commander who had held a speech in the first scene in the officers night club where he discusses the abilities of the unbewifed leader and his unlimited abilities to lead even a navy in his own wisdom. And if you find the sequences about THOMSEN then there is one final moment and unknown hero: the chief machine guy aka Johann der Geist or Johann the ghost who used a hearing aid to listen to his engines, ice of cause and electric too.
It's called 99 Red Ballons and was in Amerika on place 1 too..when i get it right..in germany place 1 for month..and she is born and live in germany she was really big in germany at that time..
Check out the concert video "Böhse Onkelz - So sind wir (Böhse für's Leben 2015)" < the "Evil Uncles" (= ger. "Böhse Onkelz") are a german rock band formed 1980 (< and still around).

if we wanna be exact, falco was austrian and not german. He died 1998 in an car accident while on alcohol and drugs. But he was a kind of genious artist.
and the producers and writers for his hits in this list were Dutch
The foreword states "Produced in Germany, Austria or Switzerland".
da steht populäre Lieder in Deutschland!!!! lese doch Mal!
You could even argue, Falco was the first one who sort of rapped/ had rap parts in his songs, in the German, like 10 years before people started claiming to be the first rapper in Germany.
Austrians are Germans.
The 1984 film "Amadeus" was a huge hit. It inspired Falco to produce that song and video. Notice he was also on the list for Der Kommissar; Falco was awesome!
It was his producer that was inspired. Falco himself thought it was too silly and recorded the song in one take - almost - and totally pissed.
"Der Kommissar" for me was the start of the NDW (German New Wave, that includes all German speaking artists like Austrians).
@rainerzufall42 Na ja... Das fing spätestens mit Ideal und Extrabreit, flächig an. Und da ist das Jahr, 1980...
ABBA were furious when they learned that their manager (or maybe publisher?) gave permission to Edelweiss for using S.O.S on "Bring Me Edelweiss".
There was an English version of "99 Luftballons", titled "99 Red Balloons". It ranked #1 on the UK single charts, the German version ranked #2 on the US charts.
Milli Vanilli became synonymous for lypsyncing to playback performers as the two guys representing the group weren't the actual singers. Caused a mayjor backlash when it was exposed which brought one of them into alcohol & drxgs, sadly a combination of both led to his passing at the age of 33. The other one now performs under the stage name Milli Vanilli, singing himself.
the singer nicole won the eurovison song contest for germany with her song "ein bisschen frieden" (a little bit of peace)

the song lyrics of Da Da Da by Trio are “I don’t love you, you don’t love me. Da da da. Aha”
That’s it.
Ähm... Da war schon noch ein wenig mehr Text...
@ This is what you got to know?
Loved you though it didn't show 🙈
English has been sum sort of a common European language, since ww2 had ended 😅
For several reasons, it has been quite popular, to sing in English, even though only about 20% of the germans would speak recognizable English, where you can expect a proper respond...
Just saying...
Spider Murphy Gang: skandal im sperrbezirk= red light distict!!!
Great song, still is
Holiday from the other ones i already forgot... still works i think. 😊😊😊
Falco was Austrian...Opus and Rainhard Fendrich, too, same as Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung (EAV)
Ja und was sagt uns das? Diese sprechen kein Deutsch? In diesen Listen auf YT geht es um "Deutsch" im Bezug zu den Titeln.. Sprache, Künstler oder auch Produktion... Da darf dann auch Englisch gesungen werden...
99 Luftballons you heard on the American 80s one that you did
03:00 Das Original von dem Lied 99 Luftballons ist deutsch.
Maybe someone posted this before, but Milli Vanilli were pretty popular for a very short time and there whole success blew up in a big scandal because it came put they weren't singing themselves.
There is a movie about their story:
th-cam.com/video/yr8wxIzHLzM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kulXNZoCGO1oul83
The swedish Band ABBA has given musical licenses for her melodys to different other bands over the years. For example "SOS" to the "Edelweiss Projekt" or "Money, Money, Money" to Madonna. Benny & Björn from ABBA written also many songs for other famous singers and musicians.
it´s not "Money, Money, Money" but "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme"
@AlterSchwede73 Yes and No, they gave Madonna a license for one special sample of "gimme, gimme, gimme" (for her song "hang up") and another license for the whole melody of "money, money, money". But Madonna had never written or released a song with this melody- license.
@claasengelbart2268 I stand corrected
Goombay Dance Band aus Deutschland, das war unsere DDR Zeit.Überall war in Deutschland Musik wirklich überall!Du kennst noch mehr Musik aus Deutschland nicht.
99 red balloons (nenaa) was a german band that released the song in both German and English.
Milli Vanilli "Girl I'm Gonna Miss You" is on the soundtrack of Monster's "Menendez Brothers"
80 are Bad Times for us in Germany 😂
the Favorite Song..... uh, that´s hard to answer... One of the best Song is definitely "Holiday", from "the other Ones".
From that list best song imo Sandra - Maria Magdelena by far
@7:18 No, EAV is Austrian. It is a penguin mask.
I remember this mask as a medieval mask from a plague doctor but this song refers to a date with a pinguin costume I think.

Nena is so a Great singer here in Germany my best song is Lighthouse=Leuchturm its sounds best i think.
Nicole winning the eurovision song contest whit this song.
The Edelweiss story is as funny as unique. The English electropop/art project duo KLF (also known as Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu/JAMMs/The Timelords) wrote a satirical but also exact manual called The Manual (yes) about making top list hits (based on their struggles, successes and other experiences in the music industry) and the Austrian group - a similarly anarchic bunch of friends - used it step by step to make 'Bring Me Edelweiss'. The outcome: Nr.1. spot in 6 countries and Top 10 status in 10 others. (I don't know Cauty and Drummond - the KLF guys - what did feel when saw the Viennese team's success by an ABBA parody - after the Swedish quartet and its management torpedoed their own earlier Dancing Queen caricature, 'The Queen & I' - but I wouldn't be surprised if they had some mild sneer on their face... 😀)
You are thinking of SOS by ABBA and that was of course much older(released in 1975)
3:06 Maybe you know it from Gta VC Wave .103?
That da da da. What's a big hit when I was growing up in the US. And the one following it. But the lyrics were in English of course.
I love Männer and Was Soll Das from Herbert Grönemeyer. He is absolutely fabulous!
3:54 Thx enough Internet for today.
There are also songs from Austria It is called Austropop 🇦🇹😄
99 Luftballons even made it onto a radio station in the game GTA Vice City... it's even the German version of 99 Luftballons, not the English one.

As a decades-long ABBA fan, I am deeply ashamed to admit that I never noticed "Bring me Edelweiß" was an ABBA rip-off. I remember the time when Bring me Edelweiß was played endlessly on the German radio. In my defense, I can only say that "S.O.S." has always been one of my least favorite ABBA songs. Kudos to you for spotting the similarity!
I now also notice that the tropical-bird-like screams in Edelweiß are directly copied from "Falco - Amadeus", they are identical but shorter.
Minute 5:26 - i am confused.
You ask for comments (and i did some this time again) - But on a serious note, i have watched multiple reactors to stuff, so thats how you got into my algorithm.
You don't seem to react at all to comments... which is kind of sad?
Because i did exactly that to another video of yours: comment my experience, mentioned stongs and... nothing happend - 2 weeks later and i have come to the conclusion that you don't react to yt comments at all...?
sry but thats kind if a red flag (imho)
1:26
Ein bisschen Frieden (a little bit of piece), ein bisschen Sonne für diese Erde (a little bit of sun for this Earth) that's the translate to english of #5 in 82. 😊🙏🏻
I was 13 and watched eurovision songcontest and she won. She sang the song again as a winner, but this time in more languages. We loved it.
"This milli vanilli guy" bro ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
How can one NOT know the bop that was the GROUP / Duo Milli Vanilli ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Who cares. They were cheaters. The world found out, and one of the two "singer" killed himself. I'll say -> let's move on.
@Cureboy clearly someone hasn't seen a single interview with fab Morvan. And it shows.
@@Cureboy Well... After all, the two losers brought us the great unplugged wave on MTV. When I think of how Nirvana played "The Man who sold the World" by David Bowie unplugged. Absolutely brilliant! And many, many other artists... Every coin has two sides...
What you don't know is Millie vanilla lipsticks that's not really them singing There was a big scandal back in the day
Ironically I had a few country music mixtapes in the 80s that I listened to all the time. I was in elementary school back then.
Out of this list I only listened to Milli Vanilli
There's some Austrian acts in here like Falco and Opus.
7:03 - Was soll das ? - You know him, Herber Grönemeyer, the german bruce springsteen for sure for his art but you are unaware of that.
War correspendent WERNER on board of a glorious famous german submarine leaving lorient and fignthing the weather and oceans in
DAS BOOT - under command of the Kaleu or Kapitänleutnant, commander of the submarine aka Jürgen Prochnow, the silent young old boy.
Remember his small dialogs about the situation at home and the famous leader with his paroles that the thommy is dead - but now when convoy after convoy get through the blocade and reach the UK and his comments about the old guard THOMSEN, that famous moment, when they passed the submarine of Thomsen the guy and commander who had held a speech in the first scene in the officers night club where he discusses the abilities of the unbewifed leader and his unlimited abilities to lead even a navy in his own wisdom.
And if you find the sequences about THOMSEN then there is one final moment and unknown hero: the chief machine guy aka Johann der Geist or Johann the ghost who used a hearing aid to listen to his engines, ice of cause and electric too.
It's called 99 Red Ballons and was in Amerika on place 1 too..when i get it right..in germany place 1 for month..and she is born and live in germany she was really big in germany at that time..
#5 won the Eurovision song contest in '82 🩷
It's about peace
Check out the concert video "Böhse Onkelz - So sind wir (Böhse für's Leben 2015)" < the "Evil Uncles" (= ger. "Böhse Onkelz") are a german rock band formed 1980 (< and still around).
But to be fair and as a warning: this band is very controversial! < always was, always will be! But anyway: it's german music and a ton of live fun! :)
Sandra with maria Magdalena will make you think, also check out the secret project of her husband, called Enigma
Männer means "Men" in english, its my favorite
Hello Lewis. Good songs so far keep um coming

At 82' to 84,85 at your reaction, was much of the " Neue Deutsche Welle" ( new German Wave) and sure,da da da was also made for this Wave and,yes only this,not more and it was a Burner 😂😅😂 Da,da,da .
Milli vanilli was produced in Germany. It was a big scandal. 😂
The "singers" didn't actually sing. Someone else sang while they were lip syncing
Frank Farian produced Milli Vanillie... Boney M, La Bouche, Meat Loaf and many others musicans...
Please check out Cosa Rosa, German song writer, keyboarder and singer. She unfortunately passed away far to early on beginning of the 90ies caused by cancer 😢
