Farin Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 yes, it was 1979, 4th place (yes, I had to google that) you can thank the producer, Ralph Siegel, for that (and multiple other such 'bands') Dschinghis Khan, and I think Boney M too, were especially casted to perform at the Eurovision Song Contest. And after they were succesful, the producers could make numerous other songs, which basically all sound the same very much like the Village People indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I hated Boney M but now I love them... "By the Rivers of Babylon" and their funky cover of "Sunny" I wonder what they are singing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farin Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I love this song sooo much Kopfüber in die Hölle ~ Die Ärzte Revolution stand auf unseren Fahnen. Revolution stand uns im Gesicht. Wir haben erlebt, was andre nicht mal ahnen. Revolution - weniger wollten wir nicht. Das ist noch nicht so lange her, doch heute kennst Du mich nicht mehr. Wir haben geträumt von einer besseren Welt. Wir haben sie uns so einfach vorgestellt. Wir haben geträumt. Es war 'ne lange Nacht. Ich wünschte wir wären niemals aufgewacht. Revolution - wir wollten weg von der Masse, kopfüber in die Hölle und zurück. Heute stehst Du bei Hertie an der Kasse. (alt: Heute stehst du für alles was ich hasse) Da ist keine Sehnsucht mehr in deinem Blick. Du sagst: "Man tut halt was man kann.", und Dir geht's gut. Du kotzt mich an. Wir haben geträumt von einer besseren Welt. Wir haben sie uns so einfach vorgestellt. Wir haben geträumt. Es war 'ne lange Nacht. Ich wünschte wir wären niemals aufgewacht. Revolution für eine bessere Welt. Wir haben sie uns so einfach vorgestellt. Wir haben geträumt. Es war 'ne lange Nacht. Ich wünschte wir wären niemals aufgewacht. Ich wünschte wir wären niemals aufgewacht... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Headfirst into Hell Revolution was written on our flags(banners) Revolution was written in our eyes we experienced what others can't begin to suspect Revolution - we didn't want any less It was not too long ago but today you don't even know me anymore We have dreamed of a better world We have imagined it to be so simple We have dreamed... it was a long night I wish we would have never woken up Revolution - we wanted to get away from the mass Headfirst into Hell and back Today you're standing at the check-out at Hertie* (alt: Today you're standing for everything that I despise) There is no more yearning in your eyes You say "We all have to get by" and that you're well - you make me sick We have dreamed of a better world We have imagined it to be so simple We have dreamed... it was a long night I wish we would have never woken up Revolution for a better world We have imagined it to be so simple We have dreamed... it was a long night I wish we would have never woken up I wish we would have never woken up... *Hertie is/was a not very expensive departement store - the alternative line is used in every live version I know Video of Live version Audio of (another) Live version The live versions are so much better than the studio ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
