It was an original Acapella by Suzanne written in 1981, released in 1984, then 1987, 1988, then by British group DNA in 1990, then used in the development of the MP3 which earned Suzanne Vega the title of “Mother of the MP3”. So it will probably be famous forever. AnnenMayKantereit x Giant Rooks are the latest ones to use it. So far. I think. I just discovered this song today and I really like it so I looked up some of the info.
AMK started with street music so Henning's voice had to sort of get so powerful to be heard in places with a lot of people, cars driving by etc. and they often just did videos out in the woods or abandoned buildings to use the natural acoustics. I think you can see that they just really love making music.
Skinny, white boy comes out still wet behind the ears and he opens his mouth and a 50yr old black man that's worked in the mines since he was 13, sings blues in the neighborhood bar while smoking a pack, comes out. Let's blurr lines and love one other. Appreciate their voices
I've always said brother if you gonna do a cover then do it justice and these 2 bands certainly did that 👏👏 all power to ya brother love from Scotland ✊️🫡🏴
Two Indie German bands AnnenMayKantereit (the surnames of the founding members joined together) and Giant Rooks. I remember the original by Susanne Vega and the song was catchy but not my cup of tea. BTW the original is much longer and is the story of Susanne (I guess) in a diner and the interaction of the guy behind the counter and a girl who came in. The video is outstanding as is the collaboration of the two bands which as far as I'm aware is the only time this happened. Oddly the video is about 3-4 years old but it's only now that it's had recognition.
Orginal was Suzanne Vega and this song has been covered by a lot of bands. Blink 182, fall out boy, i believe sum41 might have done it too. It's just an awesome song with a good vibe so it makes sense.
I just saw your channel looking for the reactions to this Cover. And so was my reaction when I first heard this music. It was like today, Saturday, listening to TikTok and it appeared, I searched on TH-cam to listen to them in full, I downloaded the music and I listen to it almost every day. But I looked them up, they are two bands from Germany, Giant Rocks the vocalist who sings first and AnnenMayKantereit is the second one with the husky, strong and powerful voice.
These are actually two german bands. In the first room are the members of Annenmaykantereit and then comes together with the members of Giant Rooks in the second room. Henning May, the second singer with the raspy voice is the lead singer of Annenmaykantereit. The other one is Frederik Rabe from Giant Rooks.
ALL their songs have this funky groovy fun vibe!!! This is an amazing rabbit hole to fall into!!! LOVE your reaction to this!! Loved the original but this is almost BETTER LOL!!!!!
Hey there 😊 I'm so happy and moved by your reactions about one of my favorite german musiscians. I found them like you, with this song on YT shorts and became adicted to them. Espascially henning may. Watched all your reactions to them and found new songs enjoying together with you. Thx for your open Heart and good taste of music 😊 Hugs and friendly greetings from germany
The original song was sung by Suzanne Vega in the 80's, a lot of people sampled that song. AMK and Giant Rooks doing a straight cover of Suzanne's song. Henning looks like a Teenager, but his voice sounds like he's been chainsmoking and drinking Whiskey daily for the last 20 years. He is 32 years old.
THE 2ND SINGER IS Henning May with the powerful deep voice. ANNENMAYKANTEREIT IS IN his band in the 1ST ROOM. Fred is other singer of Giant Rooks. ANNENMAYKANTEREIT went from a Folk rock street band to playing huge arenas in Germany. They have a lot of covers of classic rock songs in English. You should watch videos for THE BEATLE'S COME TOGETHER & LET IT BE, SPRINGSTEEN'S I'M ON FIRE, NEIL YOUNG'S THE NEEDLE &THE DAMAGE DONE. NEIL'S GOOD FRIEND DIED FROM AN OVERDOSE PROMPTING HIM TO WRITE THE SONG. DYLAN'S FOREVER YOUNG, JAMES (ST JAMES INFIRMARY) live at Berlin concert,. They have some videos of original songs in Emglish. You should check out:LEAVIN, YOUR DOOR. WAITING.AND SOMEDAY SOMEWHERE. ALSO HENNING MAY SINGS A DUET WITH NATALIE FINDLEY. ITS GOOD. I LOVE THEIR VERSIONS OF THE COVERS. ENJOY
Two German bands. AMK for short, lead singer is Henning May with the deeper, huskier voice and Giant Rooks and their lead singer Frederick Rabe who started singing first. They start in one studio and both lead singers move through the building to the second studio, to the other band members to sing second half of song, then you see as camera pans around the band members from the first studio have joined. They were touring together when they did this after a show. Both bands have produced some fantastic covers and obviously original work which is all excellent. I love both leads voices equally for different reasons and they compliment each other so well in this particular song, personally I think it’s better than the original. Check out Henning doing a cover of Stings Roxanne with another chap who sings in another band, I forget his name. It’s so good and Kylie Monagues Can’t get you out of my head. Fred too has some great work to be found, a beautiful voice.
To cover bands that said we can sing a song better than you, they said let's do this, let's do it together. Educate to elevate family. Straight banger...💪🔥👍
EXACTLY 💯 AGAIN. FREDRIC IS VERY "CLEAN" WITH HIS 🎤AND PRESENT AND THEN HENNING COMES IN AND "DIRTIES UP THE WHOLE THING"😃👍. GREAT. ✌️PEACE OUT TO THEIR "FAB" TALENT. 😇😎🎤.
This Band are normal singing in german... Try :"Juju ft. Henning May - vermissen(mean,, missing).. /or/ :" Null positiv - wo Rauch ist, ist auch Feuer "(strong female voice, with a song about war)..! Enjoy another language
Who's that you're talking about at the beginning, who used the melody ...Nurdle? ...Nerdle? Can't find anything. Btw, if you like to sing along you should make sure the vid is in sync well enough, otherwise it gets rather messy ; )
@@DreamersDreamBig Of course I assumed you did it in time, it just sounds very confusing when the track is off, be it ever so slightly. Thanks for the reply!!
You should listen to the very original of this song from Suzanne Vega! There it is from and not the guy you said. And as a sidenote, the original acappela song from Suzanne Vega was used to creaty the very first mp3 on planet, because it had a so clear voice rarely to find.
EXACTLY 💯. WE HAVE SAID THIS. "THEY ARE SUCH COMPLIMENTS TO ONE ANOTHER🎤🎤S". THEY "ARE" LIKE COLORS ON A "COLOR WHEEL". THE "RASP" AND THE "CALM" CHOIR, ANGELIC......THEY "GEL" WELL.....TOGETHR. TOGETHER 👍👌. MUCH ❤️❤️OUR BROTHERS. ✌️OUT. 😇😎🎤.
he's not the only white guy who can sing soul. and what about amy winehouse? she could definitely sing the blues. we are more than what we seem on the outside
By no means did I intend to restrict any musical genre or talent to any specific race. I’m sorry if it came off that way but he definitely possesses a 1 in a million talent 🙏🏾
@@jice7074 Yeah this surely is the best version! I kinda liked the song back then but thought I'd prefer it not just acapella ... then the DNA version went big, with that really cheesy beat and I hated that. Much better now!
😂😂 so we just gunna ignore the rest of the video where I’m completely in awe of how amazing these artists are and focus on 10-20 seconds of the video where I make jokes?
It’s 2023. Men can be close lol I can’t imagine that bothering me lol. Also; Tom’s Diner came before the one you noticed with the same part in it. So they stole it from toms diner
@@NoHaBi02 I have watched a great deal of reaction videos. No one sings over the artist. Just giving you my opinion. And you are right I don't have to listen to other reactions by dreams entertainment.
That trumpet makes me smile EVERY TIME
Ikr! The trumpet doesn't get enough love!
It's okay if you're gay bro.
Love The trumpet, too!!!! 💯
5:42 "their voices are like yellow and purple" thats a beautiful way to put it man, nice to see you appreciate talent like this. props!
The song is originally by Suzanne Vega
Crazy this guy doesnt know this lol
Exactly and why the other video shown sampled that bit as well...... along with many other songs.
Every time someone doesn't know it's originally by Suzanne Vega I feel older 😂

They didn't "steal" anything. They made a cover of Tom's Diner by Suzanne Vega, who made the original a capella song from the 80s.
This song is the bomb.
You did a great job going through it ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They didn't "steal" it. That's why it's called a cover from the original "Tom's Diner" song by Suzanne Vega.
Listen to Valerie (cover) by them with Natalie Finley. You will enjoy that too. Henning May plays tons of instruments in other videos.

FACTS
An old song with new soul

That was music!
I know!!! Right???!!

Is it only or does someone here knows that most of black guys are the best when it comes to reacting a video of someone who is singing.
The white dude is from Germany….😅
Its a cover of 'Tom's Diner' by Susan Luca, who had a hit 40 years ago, it has been covered and sampled over the decades.
I never heard about a Susam Luca, maybe she covvered that song too. But originally Tom' Diner is from Suzanne Vega.
