I was stationed in German in the early 1990's. I was in the 3rd Armored Division and originally at Drake Kaserne in Frankfort. We cherished Elvis and loved his memory with the US Army.
Bad Nauheim really is a beautiful town even outside of the elvis attractions Friedberg should really be your next destination. has a lot of interesting stuff like the castle(built on the foundation of a roman fort), the former US base, the elvies presley square, the old school and the oldest jewish bath in western europe
An interesting and very informative compilation, with countless nice ideas that recall the city's notable connection with Elvis and other famous people. Thanks✌️👑👼♥️🫶🌞
I think it’s awesome what Bad Nauheim has done to honor Elvis having chosen it as his home while in Germany. Elvis would have loved to return to Europe and Bad Nauheim to see how much he was appreciated there.
What a surprise to see a video made of my home town here :D What a weird feeling to see you walk the streets and parks that I myself walked through hundreds of times throughout my life. There currently is an Elvis Festival going on, the 20th of its kind. Each year, dozens and dozens of Elvis fans drive through here in their oldtimer cars and in very oldschool American outfits and self-styled Elvis wigs. It‘s an interesting sight for sure. It’s very noticeable though that most attendees are 50+. It’s certainly a generational thing, which fits quite well age-wise too, Bad Nauheim is in the top 10 of oldest median age towns in Germany, thanks to its many spa and elderly care facilities.
Reference game on point. Also, now I finally understand that "hunks of burning love" reference in the "Epic Rap Battle of History" between Michael Jackson and Elvis Presley.
I have heard a little bit about Elvis's US Army career, but I didn't know he was in Bad Nauheim... nor that Bismark and FDR had also visited that town! Thanks for the video! Also, nice animation at 0:18!
And country fans think of Willie Nelson. But none of them is the original. Brenda Lee recorded it first, but Gwen McCrae released her own version first.
Today I learned Elvis lived to be 42... I'd always assumed he died in his 20s somewhere, considering all the clips you see of him nowadays are of him around that age.
It appears to me that the town-folk had a genuine like for the man. i think that in itself would make the location a wonderful place to visit! Not often do you see honest emotions displayed so openly.
Thank you.for the Elvis festival for 2023 I sing in bad.nauheim in 2018 But.i.never came in the Take a look.at my TH-cam channel Roy hurst-my my roots of rock and roll .and alovely evening with Roy hurst Thank ❤
Elvis is for Bad Nauheim the same J. W. v. Goethe is for Wetzlar. A celebrity who stayed just a short period of time but will ne remembered there forever. 🙂
Looks interesting, thanks for the video. I'd expected something different because you're British, so what about the Beatles in Germany? But, yes, Bavaria to Hamburg, that's a long trip, and with your mask on on public trans, that doesn't seem very convenient. You quoted so many of Elvis' song titles, it's a shame that we're not allowed to include some music here. If we did, we could sing the Jailhouse Rock soon.
I wonder why Grafenwöhr in my area doesn't cash in on Elvis much more. Allegedly, he played his only concert outside of the US there in a little bar with just a borrowed guitar. Yes, that's most likely a lie.
Teaching myself German for the 47th time. Just came across your site. Really good stuff. OT question. I'm curious about how sie, sie, Sie/ihr, ihr, Ihr (she, they, you/her, their, your) came to be. One would think that distinctive pronouns/possessive adjectives that remove the ambiguity would have arisen. Do you know how this pronoun quirk evolved in German? Thanks...
Maybe different forms collapsing into the same. Old High German used different vowels in unstressed positions which later became "e" (schwa sound like English a-) and were then completely dropped. sie = she was originally "siu" in OHG, while sie = they was "sie/sio/siu" (m/f/n). The ambiguity is typically solved by the declension of the verb (sie kommt = she comes, sie kommen = they come) or other context (ihr kommt = you (pl.) come, sie betritt ihr Haus = she enters her house, ihr betretet euer Haus = you (pl.) enter your house, sie betreten ihr Haus = they enter their house).
Some more interesting facts about Bad Nauheim: - It has one of very few jewish synagogue, which survived the Progroms in 1938 and the following war - A lot of foreign diplomats "stayed" in Bad Nauheim during the war - It has the largest amount of Jugendstil buildings in europe
Bad Nauheim is the birthplace of one of my personal musical heroes: Pascal F.E.O.S.! He deserves, at least, an alley named after him! Also, this: th-cam.com/video/sCagYdgq4tQ/w-d-xo.html
And when Elvis finally left Germany, he sang: "Muss i denn, muss i denn Zum Städtele hinaus, Städtele hinaus Und du mein Schatz bleibst hier!" th-cam.com/video/E9W6m_PhXq4/w-d-xo.html
Friedberg is more likely to be based on the Bergfried of the city-dominating castle, Bergfried is the german word for the main living tower of bigger castles.

The amount of song title references in this video is remarkable. Well done.

Nice too see a Video about my Hometown.

I can tell you've had a ton of fun cramming in those references. Lovely! :D
Thx 🙏 Fun vid !
Thank you very much for this presentation of a beautiful medium sized Spa-Town!🙂

REWBOSS Elvis Compilation Album coming up - I definitely heard the song list here!
Hey, most of my maternal family lives there! Great City!
Weirdly, hearing "You are always on my mind", I don't think of Elvis Presley, but the Pet Shop Boys.
And country fans think of Willie Nelson. But none of them is the original. Brenda Lee recorded it first, but Gwen McCrae released her own version first.

Linda estátua do meu Eterno Idolo ELVIS PRESLEY ❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋
This is great. Thank you Rewboss!
Nice video, loved it 👍💕
My grandma lives there, what an coincidence.
Today I learned Elvis lived to be 42... I'd always assumed he died in his 20s somewhere, considering all the clips you see of him nowadays are of him around that age.
he was far less presentable when older, a calory intake that would satiate a grown african elephant wasn't helping with his appearance.
Omg you’re missing out on fat 70s elvis
@@Azaghal1988 Indeed, sadly.
It appears to me that the town-folk had a genuine like for the man. i think that in itself would make the location a wonderful place to visit! Not often do you see honest emotions displayed so openly.
Oh groan. ;)
Is there a contest die the correct number of song titles jammed into the text of the video?
Well done !
I can't stand Elvis but I still give you a thumbs-up
Thank you.for the Elvis festival for 2023 I sing in bad.nauheim in 2018
But.i.never came in the
Take a look.at my TH-cam channel Roy hurst-my my roots of rock and roll .and alovely evening with Roy hurst Thank ❤
Genuinely surprised on how consise and easy to digest you are with such a small audience. That will change soon I guarantee it
Currently, there is no direct Service from Frankfurt to Bad Nauheim due to extensive renovations.
To be honest, I do not care, but I like your style and I just write this comment for the algorhythm.
Elvis is for Bad Nauheim the same J. W. v. Goethe is for Wetzlar. A celebrity who stayed just a short period of time but will ne remembered there forever. 🙂
When you said "mystery train" I couldn't stop myself from laughing
The puns!! Oh the puns!!

The puns did not disappoint 😂
Interesting

You forgot the rivalry between these cities

I like the song! Thanks for posting it here!
this guy should collaborate with chipflake
Fun fact: Elvis didn't have to miss the usa then.
Hatte Heino da nicht ein Café. Oder war das ein anderes Bad?
Bad Münstereifel. That's quite a distance away. There are countless "Bad..." towns in Germany. I mean spa towns, not bad towns...
Can we all just take a moment and appreciate the possibly-not-coincidental placement of a military base in a town called "Mount Peace"?
Friedberg is more likely to be based on the Bergfried of the city-dominating castle, Bergfried is the german word for the main living tower of bigger castles.
Good video but to few elvis puns.
After 5 minutes all these word games on Elvis titles become too much. So don's be cruel...! ;-)
You have to debunk the thought of Gießen being one of the ugliest cities in Germany!
