OMG - the sins of my teenage years are catching up on me ...

Anyone of the German speaking folks on my flist remember Dschingis Khan? No, not Temudjin, the Mongolian leader, but the German pop group of the same name? With a song of the same title?

I was just watching Birdman, the 1999 concert of SMAP and they are actually singing a cover version of DG LIVE!! in Japanese. OMG, this is really feels like a full circle *cough* I had that album back in 1979 *cough
To tell you the truth I don't know if I should feel amused or totally embarrassed - be it because one of our most recent German musical exports was a wannabe pop group in Mongolian drags or that SMAP (esp. Kimura Takuya) singing DG (Hey, Rider, Ho, Rider!).

*shakes head*

Buahahaa, I remember that song, though

Buahahaa, I remember that song, though <a href"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ9G744XPdI">in Finnish</a>. It was impossible to escape hearing it all over when I was younger. Now I want to see the Japanese version as well *g*.

I always associate the song with the singer Frederik's macho posturing, and the only thing I can feel is very much amused. Gosh, checking out if youtube had Frederik's version, I also came across this recent <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZoeqNftJLA">live performance</a> which is a medley of his biggest hits, containing such immortal classics as [heavy sarcasm here], "Sheikki Ali Hassan" (Sheik Ali Hassan), "Harva meistä on rautaa" (Few of Us Are Made of Iron), and "Titanic".

ROTFLMAO! Mirroring your feelings above, I don't know if I should be amused or embarrassed that I can sing along to all of these songs...

I guess you got the file to work then ^_^ when is it they sing that song? lol

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Yeah it works :) So it is definitely the Mount Fuji file that is corrupted and not some weird option in my computer.

The song is the 10th or 11th. A lot of hip grinding .... and you will recognize it with Dschin- Dschin- Dschingis Khaaaan, hey, brother, ho brother, drink another! (OMG I even can sing it in English - Jeesh!) The pop group of the same name won 4th place of the European Song contest back in 1979 or 1980 I think - with that song. The second highest ranking we ever won in that contest.

OMG!!! Well, it somehow assures me a bit that bad taste in music is not solely a German thing :)

[barefootatkheb.livejournal.com]

glad it worked :) I hope they will upload a good version of the Fuji clip *crosses fingers*

ahh, coul, I have to check that out ^_^

and btw, would you mind if I use the Teppei snow icon you made? (if you don't want me to it's okay ^^ )

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Sure, you can use it, just put credit in the commentline :)

LOL, I remember, I remember! Nice disco songs - "Moskau, Moskau, wirf die Gläser an die Wand..." :-)

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, that was the second song ... I have to rip the Dschinghis Khan part. The hip grinding is hilarious :)
