Hammerschlagen to the Pacific Northwest! In 2007 we continue to build on
this foundation and bring you MORE- more great German and Bavarian
performances, more traditional costumes and dance, more fantastic food, more
Festhalle Biergarten games of skill (and luck!), and more fun for the entire

Don Volcano's Computer Corner.

A few weeks ago a German friend of mine found an old German music video from the 70ies that she wanted to share with her German friends. She was teasing us, because the music is horrible and makes every German with decent taste in music cringe in pain.
Be prepared for your fingernails curling up:

Udo Jürgens - Griechischer Wein 1975
(Greek Wine)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC9nkVis80c

Such violent attach on good taste was of course answered with even worse (you might think that shouldn't be possible) YouTube links.
What followed was a merciless email battle between four Germans going wild on bad German music videos. One bad video was counterattacked by another one. Well, I saved those emails and I thought you might find these musical weapons of mass destruction from Germany interesting:

Heino - Karamba, karacho, ein Whisky 1970
(Karamba, karacho, a Whisky)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kM-v5ShRyUo

Roy Black & Anita - Schön ist es auf der Welt zu sein
(It is nice to be alive)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLVG3yKzrqc

Michael Holm - TRÄNEN LÜGEN NICHT
(Tears don't lie)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FllStP2wH4A

Pigalle (die große Mausefalle)
(Pigalle, the big mouse trap)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9yhhh7EOZ7s

Cindy & Bert - Immer Wieder Sonntags
(Always on Sundays)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G_v6m34cJHE

Nicole - Ein bischen frieden
(A little bit of peace)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVdxwDT2ohY

Gottlieb Wendehals - Polonäse Blankenese
(Polonaise Medina)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MC_bFoH4CfA

Bino - Mama Leone
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChvC6BhxyI0

Nana Mouskouri - Weiße Rosen aus Athen
(White roses from Athens)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq44lId5IM8

Wolfgang (Wolle) Petry - Wahnsinn (alte Version)
(Insanity)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uiy2NvueT2A

Dieter Hallervorden & Helga Feddersen-Du die Wanne ist voll
(Hey, the bathtub is full)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rFAze9UYcQE

James Last Medley I
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8pbdwn253M

Be warned: Those videos are all bad – very bad. I honestly don't know which one is the worst.
Please let me know which one you find the most disturbing German music video!

Yours,

Don Volcano
