For those who made it to the vlog shortly after 6:08, it's obv to me that they are dog breeders at 7:55. I see different people coming and going every week. They are in better condition then stray dogs that are either dumped or born in the street. Thailand is home to millions of stray dogs (yes, millions!). The things I've seen are traumatizing but I love dogs so much and one day if I ever make enough money from YT we will buy a big land and have 50-100 dogs and help even more.
I am keeping my fingers crossed, hoping for the success of your endeavours. I hope you can replicate the incredible work of Takis shelter in Crete, Greece. Takis has bought land, where now over 400 dogs find their home. His entire existence revolves around his tireless efforts at animal rescue work. People from all corners of Europe come to him to adopt dogs, but he also cares for those dogs that cannot be re-homed for various reasons. They are not confined to cages, but have vast spaces where Takis carefully groups them based on their unique personalities. If you want to learn about how to help dogs, you could check out his videos and hear the stories of the rescued dogs he shares. Once again, thanks so much for what you are doing already. Keep up the good work.
A lot of the songs in the video were from what was then called “Neue Deutsche Welle” (New German Wave), among them Nena (Ninetynine Red Baloons), Peter Schiling (Major Tom), and Geier Sturzflug (Bruttosozialprodukt, gross national product). The latter is a satirical critique of society’s obsession with economic growth and materialism. It uses humor and irony to highlight the absurdity of measuring a country’s success solely based on its gross national product.
Both Boney M. and Milli Vanilli were produced and managed by Frank Farian. This German music producer provided the vocals for most of the male parts on Boney M. and Milli Vanilli songs. In case of Milli Vanilli, the performers were just working as dancers.
Herbert Gröhnemeyer is a famous German actor (best known for “Das Boot”, singer, and songwriter. He still is active and successful as a singer/songwriter.
The ones with the penguin costumes are “Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung” (often abbreviated as EAV). They are an Austrian band, known for their satirical and humorous approach to music, often incorporating social and political commentary into their songs.
I'm familiar with Takis shelter. Sujy and I volunteered and lived for 6 months at a big shelter with 450 dogs and 90 cats here in Thailand and we were in charge of social media. I took inspiration from other shelters, one of which is Takis shelter.
In the video there are actually at least three artists who are from Austria, not Germany: Falco, Opus, Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung. Maybe the author of the video is still with his mind living in WWII times and considers Austria to be part of the German empire.
@@railcity According to the original video, it promises to showcase the most popular songs from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland during the 80s. Perhaps that detail got somehow lost in translation. When discussing German songs, Max & Sujy were likely referring to the German language rather than the political states.
Yes, German language. We knew some songs were gonna be from Austria and Switzerland as it was written on screen.
Fun fact about "Der Nippel" by Mike Krüger (third song from the start): it's a funny/satirical song about the difficulties of opening stuff. And at that time, there really _was_ a lot of experimentation with industrially sealed packages that the customer was supposed to open without a knife or scissors. A LOT of experimentation... and even if things didn't get as weird as described in this song, some were pretty complicated.
Something that has improved tremendously since then... and something that people who didn't experience it just cannot imagine anymore. Ah, yes, the distant past! Not everything was better back then. (Though the music was... I'll die on that hill!)
FALCO Der Kommisar - i have that on 12" 😂 Great party toon. 99 Red Balloons was a HUGE hit across Europe.
its just in english "red ballons" because of a missing part for the word for "ninty-nine" because in german its a longer word "neun-und-neun-zig" for the melody of the song they added the word red into the english version to have it similar long :)
Modern Talking the legends, that's my childhood
Also be understanding with Milli Vanilli, their story is tragic & I just hate how some ppl just judge them knowing or not knowing what really happened
Da Da Da is BRILLIANT!
You should really watch Jürgen von der Lippe with his song "Guten Morgen, liebe Sorgen" with its translation. I hope you can find it somewhere. If not, Iight be tempted to try to translate it although I do have only mediocre video editing skills... 😅
In my opion u have to figure out "Aphaville", "Nena", "Falco", "Herbert Grönemeyer", he played "lieunant Werner" in the movie "Das Boot" , and please "Clowns and Helden" , or "Trio"
The fact that a whole music genre was founded in Germany in the 90s that a lot of European countries took inspiration from shows that the 90s were the best decade for German Music.
@7:29min- noo, that's ingenious! Building a fence straight with the things that annoy you! Respect!!
it wasn't Michael Jackson, it was Milli Vanilli whose story is currently in cinemas.
Ofc we know, it was just a comparison.
Btw; Milli Vanilli was a complete betrayal of the fans, because they couldn't sing. This was all playback sung by Frank Farian in the studio!
@@Kelsea-2002 Frank Farian again. He doesn't seem to be able to help it! First the frontman of Boney M and then Milli Vanilli...
@@patrickschindler2583 Farian is a user of people, got millions out and well, one of Milli Vanilli died of drug abuse. Well done Farian! You are a here - NOT! The front man of Boney M was always on drugs while they performed! I do not like that guy Farian, but many worship him, because of his success. A success with people, which got into drugs. Farian is a user and abuser, nothing glorious!
It wasn't Frank Farian this time singing lead. He died just a few weeks ago. He had other people singing. After the scandal, the Real Milli Vanilli aka Try'n'B (in the US) appeared on stage, but they hadn't such success as Rob and Fab.
The number 1 in 1989, is the little sister of a good old friend. In the early 80's we go party sometimes. She did a very good Zarah Leander voice back then. We had a such great youth. Never was the freedom greater, conected with the possible fun factor...
Several of these are widely known because they were international hits which also charted in the UK and/or USA:
"Ein Bißchen Frieden" ("A Little Peace") - Nicole. As you noted, this won the 1982 Eurovision Song Contest.
"Da Da Da" - Trio
"Der Kommisar" - Falco
"99 Luftballons" ("99 Red Balloons") - Nena
"Big In Japan" - Alphaville
"Rock Me, Amadeus" - Falco
"Live Is Life" - Opus
"Brother Louie" - Modern Talking
All four songs by Milli Vanilli
"Bring Me Edelweiss" - Edelweiss
Boney M also had several hits here in the UK, but not the ones in this compilation. The Goombay Dance Band had a hit too, with a song called "Seven Tears".
pls more vlogs if possible
The style in the 80s was called „Neue Deutsche Welle“ :)
omg my childhood 👍from austria
Yes Guten Morgen means good morning 😉
Guten Morgen, liebe Sorgen, seid ihr auch schon alle da?
Habt ihr auch so gut geschlafen? Na dann ist ja alles klar…
Good morning, dear worries, are you all here already?
Did you sleep just as well (as I did), well, then everything's clear
Falco is Austria!
I didn't know. This make the thumbnail choice quite hilarious! :)
Not only Falco was from Austria. Also Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung, Rainhard Fendrich, Andy Borg, Edelweiss. ...
Opus was also Austrian IIRC.
@@e.s.7272 Ja stimm, du hast recht. Ich bin nur zu faul jeden aufzuzählen. Also gut das du mir die Arbeit abgenommen hast.
A common problem with this type of lists: they don't distinguish between music made in or by Germans, music perfomed in German or (as in this list) music that sold/played well in Germany.
80s Tipp would be "ideal", "extrabreit"
Thank you for your very positive commentary I will definitely subscribe to your Channel
Welcome aboard!
Funny to see, where she sways, and where he does.
React to top 10 german songs 2010-2019
At the end of the 70s New Wave came out in Great Britain. And inspired from that in Germany came the New German Wave (Neue Deutsche Welle) out in the beginning of the 80s.
Unfortunately this wave didn't last very long and ended 1984.
Instead we got "Modern Talking", a band, where every song sounds the same and has the same chords.
I rather have a band which makes the same sound all over again than a band like Rammstein which makes stereotypical angry music that makes Germans feel "represented" by such inferiority complex, and where the members are r#pists. 😁😁
@@taftybufty I don't like Rammstein. But Modern Talking is on another level: They always sang the same song, but with different (but everytime stupid) lyrics.
@@deniskramer3562On another level you mean, how Pet Shop Boys music was literally inspired from the "same songs stupid lyrics" band. They admitted it themselves when they met with Dieter Bohlen in UK in a show. So stupid and so evil that they created such a unique sound by mixing disco and synthpop. So stupid and evil that most famous artists nowadays still try to replicate their music.
The only problem with Modern talking was Bohlen. He was indeed a faker and had no place there in anything. Music wise you can debate with a wall
@@taftybufty Dieter Bohlen WAS Modern Talking. Thomas Anders was only singing, nothing more.
I never followed the Pet Shop Boys so I have no idea from their music. Only know the song "Go West" and I know, that is a cover song.
@@deniskramer3562 Here is a fun fact:
Bohlen was a faker who never played the guitar, never sang, didn't write the songs nor composed them. He was there as "last minute" decoration for the "duo". Anders' role was even bigger than you think
Main vocals: Thomas Anders
Thomas' backing vocalist: Birger Corleis
Head voices/falsetto: Rolf Köhler, Detlef Wiedke, Michael Scholz, Thomas A.
Producer: Thomas Anders/Luis Rodriguez/Dieter Bohlen
Composers: Various ghostwriters incl. Thomas Anders
Sound engineer: Luis Rodriguez/Leroy Lee Davis/Ralf Stemmann
Piano: Leroy Lee Davis/Thomas A.
Guitar: Peter Weihe
Another fun fact: The lyrics which you called "stupid", were written by a British and American songwriter called Geff Harrison and Mary Susan Applegate.
hmmm....microphone is missing the xlr plug... just like the playback-singers on the tv of the 80s 🤣🤣
🙏🏼👍
P R O M O S M 💪
Milli Vanilli (Fab and Rob) won all the music industry awards at the time, including in the US (Grammy), until it turned out that they didn't sing themselves. The German producer and songwriter (he also produced Boney M) didn't think the real singers were representative of the stage, so these two handsome men were hired and brought on stage. - A huge scandal. Tragically, Rob died as a result of an overdose of alcohol and other drugs.
Geez! This is next level scam! And prove that look play a huge part. Does the real singer ever had that level of success?
@@MaxSujyGermany I don't know, maybe as a background singer somewhere?! But there is a fairly new film in the cinema, maybe he mentions something about it, the film is called: Girl You Know It's True
@@MaxSujyGermany Frank Farian, the “real singer”, is a successful German music producer and composer, now living in the US. He was involved in producing and mixing the Meat Loaf album Blind Before I Stop, and sang background vocals on the lead single. He might have lacked the conventional looks associated with success in the 1970s. In the 1980s, his age (he was in his forties by then) may not have resonated with younger audiences.
I wonder, why don't you clean your garden? I don't want to offend anyone, but do you feel comfortable there? Furthermore, it is unhealthy for the dogs to live in such an environment. it's not meant to be mean.
Holy shit...... the 80s where a great time in music but.... not in germany. Well we had a few goof things but.. Na sry. IProbably would erase the 80s completely out of History. So ff.. bad :D
Why don t y a clean up the garden instead of listening to weired german songs?? seriously!! And look at the neighbors yards!! Being poor is one thing but being messy is the other.
I grew up in Germany, but thank God I wasn't born until 2002. So at least I didn't have to listen to this crap. Be glad you didn't understand the German lyrics, because 90% of them were just shit. Especially Modern Talking makes my stomach turn.
Yes, Modern Talking is an evil sound weapon. But todays German music is not really better (ok, there are some exceptions, like AnnenMayKantereit). Especially the German Gangsta Rap kills Trillions of brain cells every second!
But from 1980 to 1984 there was very good German music, such as Falco (ok, he was from Austria), Ideal, Joachim Witt and Grauzone (from Switzerland).
So don't judge what you don't know!
Hey, die 80er waren die kreativsten Musikjahre!
Hey, the 80s were the most creative years in music!
@@arnodobler1096 Nichts gegen Grönemeyer oder im Notfall auch noch Nena .... aber der Rest, vor allem dieser Ballermann Scheiß und dieser peinliche Bohlen sind einfach nur grausam. Denk auch mal an diese Fake Bands hinter denen dieser Frank Farian stand. Mein Ding sind da mehr Silly, Doro, UFO, Tote Hosen, Ärzte, usw.
@@Kelsea-2002 Doro??? Ich dachte du magst keinen Metal außer von Nightwish.
@@klaushohmann1101 Ich sage immer das ich kein Metalhead bin und Nightwish meine Lieblingsband ist. Natürlich gibt es guten Metal den ich mir auch anhöre und Doro ist eine Legende
