Maybe a song for you.
A german band, at the biggest stage on planet earth.
"Germany in autumn" Deutschland im Herbst. A song againts the right wing terror in the early 90th in germany.

Alex is the one from "Clockwerk Orange" and the drugks are indeed pals like they name themselves in the movie.
Coming from any slav language where drug, means pal/mate/bro.
you should check out their song Unter den Wolken: czcams.com/video/PwzDFFH3CMk/video.html
Hier kommt Alex is inspired by A Clockwork Orange. Die Toten Hosen made a whole album based on the book as a soundtrack for a theatreplay. It is called Ein kleines Bisschen Horrorschow.
I love that album since it‘s release. But I did not know that. Thank you!
@@HansJoachimMaier and not only that. Campino, the leadsinger of Tote Hosen played the mainrole as actor in that theatre. And that ist also the reason, why in front of every song on the album a tiny peace of Beethoven Music is placed . Because Beethovens music also important in the clockwork orange book/movie.
@@weissfussindianer you know that the film is 50 years old oO and much older
not quite right, it was written for the German musical for Clockwork Orange which was performed in Hamburg in the 80s
Okay, now, I must get it, my droog !
This song was made for a german musical version of Clockwork Orange. Alex is the main charakter of this story (played in the movie by Malcolm McDowell). Die Toten Hosen played the rival gang in the musical.
You must see a Live Show. It is a big Party. Every Show goes 3 h. Die Toten Hosen are a very good Live Band.
You might not know that "robot" as a word comes from russian, meaning "worker". So when he says "robotten gehn", he uses it in that sense, bringing "going to work" and "being a robot" together to emphasize the repetitive dullness of work, where workers don't make decisions, but only perform tasks.
Right, there are even some more words used in this song which don't really have a foundation in german language. That's because song is based on "A Clockwork Orange" - the story of that book (and also the corresponding movie) takes place in a near dystopian future, where a lot of the words used especially by the young gang members have become a mix of eastern-european, russian, latin, german, english... and so on.
In the book it's much more prevalent than in this song. When you start reading the book (which is written from Alex' point of view and hence uses his language) it's a bit odd at first. But actually, after a short time you get used to it...
Aint Russian Robot is slavic. But close enough to Russia. And it was originally just a word for repetitive as stated labour.
The word roboter is meaning worker. It is used in the “new“ way in a czech book about 100 years before. The roboter as an artificial being made his way from that book into the world.
It's Polish. The invention of the use of the word robot for well robots was made in poland, and yes it also means worker.
Come on...: "1920s: from Czech, from robota ‘forced labour’. The term was coined in K. Čapek's play R.U.R. ‘Rossum's Universal Robots’ (1920)."
its so crazy im from the city that they are from. seeing an american reacting to it and like it.. it warms my heart. peace my friend
They're from beautiful Düsseldorf, innit ?
Toten Hosen is just a must love for us Düsseldorfer
@@pateris You only forgot the ü because a Dussel is someone stupid and you don't want to call there hometown village of the mentaly handycapt. Tipp: if you find no ü on your keyboard you can use "ue" as alternate so simply write Duesseldorf.
@@rmamon2554 You're right, sorry. I didn't know about Dussel though, I learned something, Danke !
I also have to recommend "Wort zum Sonntag"
Hahahah
I´m a fan of Die Hosen since more than 30 years and love their liveshows... if you want some more react to "mehr davon", "1000 gute Gründe" or "Wort zum Sonntag"
Maybe you could react to a song from Das Lumpenpack, they are a pretty young band, lots of Die Ärzte influence. In "WZF!" they give a pretty accurate description of the first half of 2020 (to Billy from Green Day, who woke up when september ended). "Mein Hass" and "Hauch mich mal an" might also be something for you.
As they derived from poetry slams, they have lots of text, phrases, puns and humour, so if you are already quite fluent in German they might be interesting to listen to.
I wanna recommend "Saltatio Mortis - Wo sind die Clowns" I think you'll like it
Thank you! Added to my list!
A very known song of them is "Alles aus Liebe" ... they recorded it in english as well! You should check it out! It's called "All for the sake of love". Like that a lot, but sadly no live version avaible ...
Great song! On a side note, I met the real Alex (Malcolm McDowel, who played Alex in Clockwork Orange), it was one of the coolest conversations of my entire life. I won’t ever forget it. Truely a wild guy.
At the beginning I only knew McDowell through his more recent appearances such as in Heroes or Mentalist, where he did an outstanding performance. You can imagine how I looked when I found out that the one from Clockwork Orange is the same actor.
@@Grauhuf88 he is a talented, and extremly down to earth guy, and very, very real, based on my short talk with him. That Alex smirk in real life is quite the thing to experience. One of the most memorable moments in my life.
@@admerin6961 His performance in clockwork is pure genius… I'm not a Kubrick fan, but I love this one !
How about pushed again ? It's one of my faves by the Hosen...and in english,with a cool Video
It's one of my most favourite songs of them as well. The music video is fantastic too.
Since you have been doing some german punk stuff, might I suggest Ton Steine Scherben. They are kind of the original german punk band in a way. If you do decide to check them out you should either do "Der Traum ist Aus", "Keine Macht Für Niemand" or "Macht Kaputt Was Euch Kaputt Macht". For the first two songs I recommend in particular the live in Offenbach versions.
Macht kaputt was covered or parodied by Straftanz, no ?
@@pateris no idea. I only know the TSS version
@@pateris tanz kaputt was dich kaputt macht
@@ExplizitDuester Einfach ! ;)
Love that part of your traveling is discovering local music!
My favorite from Toten Hosen is Paradies.
I really enjoy your reactions. Keep up the great work 👏 and thanks
Thank you so much!!
I listened to this song when I was a small kid. My father used to listen to Die toten Hosen, this was when I was 6 years or younger, that means I listened to this song more than 30 years ago already. Good and bad memories.
You are great. Super cool that you make the effort and try to understand German.
You should react to “Meine Familie” from the Band “Broilers”!!! Epic Lyrics and a great Band!
If you want to hear broilers, you have to hear "meine sache" that is the no1!
Clockwork Orange!!!! Masterpiece of a Movie!!!
As Pico Pictures already said it's a direct reference to Alex (Malcom McDowell) in "Clockwork Orange" by Stanley Kubrick. "The droogs" is how they call they gang.
"Robotten" means to work like a robot without thinking. Just doing your 8 hours a day without even thinking about what you're actually doing. Think this is a critizism of the modern industrialized world. Like people putting together parts of a car and doing the same every day of the week for years.
i think they called it "robotten" because the origin of the word robot. it's the czech word robota which means drudgery/socage
Please Please Please do a Madsen Reaction Video. If you like Die Hosen and Die Ärzte you are sure to like Madsen. They sort if combine the best if modern progressive music, punk, and heavy metal, sometimes all in the same song. Really underrated Band IMO.
OMG, yes!! 💛 I love them!
Totally agree
Another one on my list, Danke mate !
i dont agree with calling them progressive or heavy metal and would put them into the Indie Rock basin instead. Yet they have a lot of great songs indeed. "Behalte deine Meinung" from their recent album is straightup great.
@@SonnyAmbush They are Indie, but I find they have elements of punk and metal in a lot of their Songs, which they mix in their music. Leuchttürme ist sehr metal.
The craziest thing for me was to learn that they're really big in South America, mainly in Argentina I believe.
Pretty decent German population in Argentina which might explain it 😊
Great reactions and nice selection of songs!
I can highly recommend listening to Broilers - Keine Hymnen heute.
They are from the same city as Die Toten Hosen and play Oi-punk with a political note.
Thank you! Added to my list!
My favorite song from them!
Farin Urlaub - OK
One of the best solo projects, beside Jan Delay`s big band projects
oh yes. its by favorite song. and i think Farin sings Really understandable German. very clear.
also "unscharf" and "niemals"
iam german and like this song a lot
It would be great, if you maybe want to review "Waldspaziergang mit Folgen" by Die Ärzte or "Die Leiche" by Farin Urlaub sometimes. :)
omg yes. i love both of them so much
Yes!! 💛
Nah, nothing beats "Nichimgriff"
Eine Frage dazu: ist "die Leiche" nicht von SDP?
@@andrebrodbeck384 ja, aber es gibt auch ein lied mit dem titel von farin
So süß dein Deutsch! 😁💜
Danke!
the song is based on the movie and book clockwork orange ^^
Great song of the late 80´s early 90´s.
It is a very catchy song for sure.
Maybe Die Ärzte-Junge would be a thing :-)
Greetings dude
Thank you! Added to my list!
Or Farin Urlaub (solo) - OK
Feuerschwanz did a mindblowing cover of this song.. you really should check that one out too.
Ist's "_Clockwork Orange_".
You should react to:
Saltatio Mortis - "Dorn im Ohr" or to "Spur des Lebens" - both are songs with great messages.
"ASP - Zaubererbruder"
( There is no real video but its a song from an album that has the story of a book named "Krabat" as its focus and its my all time favorite to listen to )
Hi, your explanation was really good. With the background that this song is based on "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess (written in 1962) - if you know the book, your analysis would have been even deeper. But still I give you an "A" for this. If you want to see something completely different why not try "La Bomba" sund by "Lords of the Lost". Once you get into the music the video is really fun to watch.
I need to read that book now. I can't believe I haven't!
Another thing I can totally recommend is ANTIHELD with WENN DIE WELT BRENNT !! not as popular as Others you reacted to but its a very good song with an awesome Message, and I think you would like the music
i can only recommend paradies by them, one of the best songs imo!
my name is alex. welcome to my song
Its difficult to understand. That song is about the book clockwork orange. There is even another song from die toten Hosen, where they are singing about the ending of the book, where alex got his psychological treatment and is becoming the victim of his former "friends."
I started reading the book last night, and then it immediately made more sense.
its a hymne in Germany!
They are the best! And your German ist good.
Thank you! ❤❤❤
sadly right now a few to many alex in germany xD
Sad but true :(
Everywhere. In France we have more than our share (especially when you consider that Alex's droogs enlisted in the police…)
Die Toten Hosen -böser Wolf or Viva la Revolution 😻😻😻😻
The text refers to Alex from "Clockwork Orange".
Recommendation: Der Weg einer Freiheit - Aufbruch
A really great German Black Metal band, and the song (and the whole album "Finisterre") is inspired by the Book "Der Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse
You should see the movie clockwork orange. It's about Alex, than you'll understand...but careful..it's kinda...special
We watched it in school, when I was a teen and it was brutal...never saw it again (Im 53 now) but I love the album and the message
Wenn ich das richtig in Erinnerung habe, war der Song eine Anspielung auf den Film Uhrwerk Apfelsine/ Clockwork Orange.
If I remember correctly, the song was a reference to the Clockwork Orange movie. But I'm not so sure, it was all so long ago. ^^
Das ist so.
Die Toten Hosen : The Return of Alex (english Version)
Nice reaction video!
Personally I prefer the cover from Samsas Traum. But the original from Die Toten Hosen is also fine.
I recommend Austrian band "Attwenger" with their song "Kaklakariada" :)
Moin Weltbürger, ich bin gerade zum ersten Ma auf Deinem Kanal. Habe bereits ein paar Videos gesehen. Ist das richtig, dass Du nach Deutschland gezogen bist? Wenn ja, heiße ich Dich herzlichst Willkommen. Du scheinst ein mega sympathischer Typ zu sein. Ganz liebe Grüße
Ja, ich bin im September nach Deutschland gezogen. Vielen Dank für den herzlichen Empfang!
Hi, roboten hat nichts mit Roboter zu tun, roboten ist Platt und bedeutet arbeiten gehen. Damit man täglich roboten (arbeiten)geht. Ich versuche das mal in meinen wunderbaren englisch ;-) roboten is a german " ruhrpott" dialect, and means "to do working" . Na dann auch von mir ein herzliches willkommen in Deutschland.
I believe I have the whole DVD of the concert, that this clip was taken from of Hier Kommt Alex. I think I have also heard a version in English, and I don't like it as much as the full German version.
I would recommend you AOP- Mutter Theresa
Really funny punk band. Where 7 years away and starting a comeback now
Lovely greetings from Berlin
Thank you! Added to my list!
oh hell yes please do Willkommen in Deutschland
They’re famous for playing 3h shows everytime...
Here I am
its about extrimists
if you where serching the right word to discribe it
6:08 If you don't know who alex is you should watch Clockwork Orange. Great Movie.
Why did my post with song ideas was deleted?
If it did it was an accident and I apologize 😀
@@SethinBerlin okay, thank you.
You really should try some song out from Die Ärzte.
Because they and Die Toten Hosrn are, let say arch enemies.
The vands like each other vut the fans are rellay into one of them.
For example the old song „junge“ or „schrei nach liebe“. The kasz one is maybe a bit much polotical.
Or a new one, like „true romance“ or „das letzte lied des sommers“
@@SethinBerlin mayne you already done some frim Die Ärzte.
So here are some other bands, i ive aclreasy write in my deleted post:
Die Apokalyptischen Reiter
Knoekator
JBO
Wise Guys
@@Fishmeaker you should check out my reaction playlist! I’ve done two Ärzte songs 😀
Danger Dan - Alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt Pleeeeaaaaase
You might want to check out "iDisco" by Farin Urlaub Racing Team, the solo project of Die Ärzte guitarist Farin Urlaub.
Thank you! Added to my list!
For me the most intense song from Die Toten Hosen is Böser Wolf.
My mean the version from 88 was a little bit bedder
There is also an English version of this song: czcams.com/video/sQKQnm9-cAI/video.html
But the text is a little bit different to the german original.
when you react to "Die Toten Hosen" then you must try
"Feine Sahne Fischfilet" with the Song "komplett im Arsch" and/or
"Broilers" with the Song "Ihr da oben"
This two Bands were found and Supported from Die Toten Hosen ;o)
Greetings from Switzerland
Watch a documentary about the Toten Hosen or Interviews with Campino. You will learn a lot about Germany.
I would recommend madsen for example "lass die Musik an"
Please react to "Strom" von Die Toten Hosen as well
This song refers heavily to clockworck orange. People who recommend you that song should have mentioned that before.
DTH are the best live band I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen The Clash/Damned etc in their peak but DTH are amazing. Ive seen them in clubs, stadiums and medium size venues and they always give 100%. My fav gigs were Glasgow 1993 and Buenos Aires 2015!
campino ist ein mehrKILLzäpfchen
Kurz und knapp beschrieben, diesen Herrn Punker. 😂 Der staatliche Marionetten Linke. 😁
You might also like Rogers "anders als ihr"
For a completely different take on this song (but chilling), watch the cover by the Girls Choir "Scala & Kolagny Brothers".
They also do an absolutely stunning version of "Schrei nach Liebe"
A Clockwork Orange
1962 th Book
1971 the Movie
1988 the Song
"Droogs" doesn't mean "pals". The Droogs are Alex' gang in Clockwork Orange. That's what the songs references in a lot of lines like the one about his "horror show".
Edit: Apparently droogs comes from a russian word actually translating to friend. thanks @Martin Wohlert
Ahhhhh ok. I haven’t seen that
@@SethinBerlin And "horrorshow" in the original is a lend word from the russian "хорошо" (xorošo, “well, good”)
In the book droogs is translated as friends, so it does actually mean pals. Just in that World, ones only friends are ones gang members.
Droogs is lend from Russian друг (singular, spoken as droog) which translates to friend.
And even better than watching the movie: read the book. It's much more immersive that way. But the movie is cult, too.
@@GeNTooFReaK I didn't know that. Thank you! Edited my comment to mentions this :)
Please react to Fjørt, modern Post-Hardcore/Punk from Aachen with self-reflecting and also social criticizing lyrics. Try Paroli, Lichterloh or Südwärts.
oh die sind so underrated😍
Thank you! Added to my list!
Try Marius Müller-Westernhagen Freiheit (Westernhagen - Freiheit Livekonzert 1989 - for the Stadion feeling)
Thank you! Added to my list!
Please react to: hier kommt Kurt by Frank Zander
Please react to K.I.Z. Fremdgehen. You would like the Video.😂
Thank you! Added to my list!
@@SethinBerlin The Video is really weird but you can learn something about german grammar.
In my opinion, Die Ärzte and die Toten Hosen songs are live way better!!! Maybe you want to react to Annenmaykantereit sometime.
im not entirely sure, but I think at some point DTH upped the speed a bit when performing "Hier kommt Alex" live. Or somehow the studio version feels slower to me...
die toten hosen reales a englsih version of that song called th retunr of alex
Deutsches punk rock ist der beste
Nur so: Campino wird nächstes Jahr 60. Und dieses Lied ist von 1988.
Dann müssen sie Wort zum Sonntag undichten :D "Ich bin noch keine 60 und ich bin noch nicht nah dran" passt dann nicht mehr.
@@JuLiane Ja😊
Beethoven anywhere :)
Hmmmm
Hi, i´m new on your canal, i like your reaktions i saw the last 2 hours, and you help me to improve my english.
I have a suggestion for you to react. "Danger Dan-Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt"
Clear voice but very political, and maybe you must google some names of persons to understand the lyrics.
I´m very interestet in your opinion.
Thank you! Added to my list!
the original video is better than live version
It definitely is, but CZcams copyright blocked me when I used the original version. It happens sometimes.
If you want to go old school Toten Hosen, than you have to react to 10 kleine Jägermeister!
You call that "old school"?
"Old school" is a matter of perspective. I realize this as I get older 😀
@@tonyme7426 I just looked the history of the Toten Hosen up and I was sure that Hier kommt Alex was a song from the 2000's and just realized that it is older than 10 kleine Jägermeister xD . To be fair, as a brother of a Toten Hosen fan, as a small child, I remember 10 kleine Jägermeister probably just more than Hier kommt Alex.
do me afavor, please watch at least the movie " a clockwork orange" by stanley kubrick, listen to this song afterwards and may or may not make another reaction to it. the whole song is based on that movie.. so you might get a glimpse of the effect of this bad, dystopian movie...which almost became reality, just saying
they used to be a good punk band in their early years, but soon transformed into mainstream poprock. this is obviously one of their older songs which they became big with. nice riffs n melody.
btw I was there... same festival.. different stage .
every punkrockband is considered to be a mainstream band as soon as they get successful. I see it the other way around. They are a Rockband, and develop as musicians.
I'm just another hater but you really should go for the old Hosen stuff (like this song)
(4 me) it's like 2 totally different band.
Hi, D Skorpio!
As "The Hosen" came orginally from the early Punk-Scene, about 30 years ago,
their Main-Focus was social critics.
I dont agree with your perception - they are still "The Original" and have never forgotten their roots.
Today we wittness a, in dignity grown up band, that only got BETTER and very MATURE.
Old vs. contemporary =Two differnet bands?!
NO, Not at all!
@@entenigelpfau
Spätestens wenn die CDU deine Lieder spielt haste verkackt.
Ich werfe ja keinen sellout vor oder so aber vergleich einfach Armee der Verlierer mit Wannsee, da ist unterwegs doch was schief gelaufen.
@@dskorpio7705
Die "Politik" bedient sich
1.) immer "opportunistischer Stimmungsmache" zum eigenen Vorteil
und
2.) ist dies als Argument, reinste Polemik. (also völlig unsachlich)
Bei den Hosen, da is nix "schiefgelaufen".
Wenn du der Meinung bist, dass Hosen-Songs bei einer CDU Veranstaltung nichts zu suchen haben, dann hat das wohl eher mit einem "gesellschaftlichem Problem" zu tun. (Wenn man hier überhaupt von einer Problematik sprechen kann)
Es reflektiert aber in keinster Weise die Lebenseinstellung und Haltung dieser Band.
@@entenigelpfau
Meine Güte, sag ich doch überhaupt nicht, die alten Herren sind stabil, keine Frage.
Ich find nur persönlich das meiste ab Auswärtsspiel scheiße.
German language rock? Check out Callejon
Thank you! Added to my list!
If you like other sorts of music, there are absolute gems in the German Darkwave genre : QNTAL (pioneers of electro-medieval, my favorite band for almost 20 years), Deine Lakaien (romantic dark wave), Das Ich (industrial), Escape with Romeo (guitar darwave, but M. Elbern's voice is to die for), Derriere le mirror (obscure dark wave, one of my pets), Funker Vogt (electro-industrial), In my rosary (dark wave with M. Jecek from Derriere le Miroir), Wolfsheim (the best synth pop band ever ?), Chrom (electro-EBM), Namnambulu (romantic dark wave with an incredible singer) and too many to mention. Enjoy mate ! I'm from France but most of my music comes from Germany !
Back when they were good and not a Schlagerrock band. Alright guys, let me have it! :-)
iteresting to hear your conclusion from the translation. It seems to me, that for you this song is about a group of marauding people who terrorize the neighbourhood.
My perception from the german lyrics is totaly diferent. For me the bad guys in this song are the people behind the order. They make the world a place not worth living in.
It's a world of horor that's driving the people nuts who havn't already resigned to their fate.
Do you know the Band "Hämatom"? its a great band. they recently got very popular. i think you shuold check out "Wir sind Gott" or "#FCKCRN"(fuck corona) or "Neandertal"^^
