In East Germany, all music from capitalism and the USA was banned. But many secretly listened to radio from the West.
Die Zeit, als man noch mit Bleistiften die Kassetten zurückspulen musste 😂
In the beginning some of the somewhat strange German-language songs belong to the Neue Deutsche Welle. The Neue Deutsche Welle (NDW) is a music genre that emerged in 1976 as the German-language version of punk and new wave and had its commercial peak in the early 1980s.
The NDW was very diverse and did not have a uniform musical genre. Many of the artists have attributes that would distinguish them from the masses of other artists. What was particularly characteristic were the German-language song lyrics, their relative short-livedness, rawness and coolness. Minimalism in the performances was also often a stylistic device. Many of these artists were only musically active or successful back then.
Mist bin ich alt 😂. Ich kenne alle Lieder lachen 😊. Super Kanal. Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland 🇩🇪 nach 🇺🇸
Grandios. Und so abwechslungsreich 🎉
So many genres. Pop, Rock, Schlager and what no one had exept germany, austria an Swiss. Neue deutsche welle. You have to live it. Europe is influenced from the UK, US. Neue deutsche welle (NDW) is the answer to Schlager. Schlager was nice and cozy. NDW was rebellious in comparison to Schlager. Music in german but not "lovely, heile Welt music.
After 1945 Germany didn't want anything to do with the war and move forward. Influenced from the Alliierten mosty English language music. In the 80s we slowly found our pop music in german.
Jaha... Und so manchen Mist, hatte ich schon erfolgreich verdrängt...
Bin 25 und kennen jeden einzelnen Song. Habe mehrere große Brüder und die wurden auch noch nach meiner Geburt gepumpt
Geht mir grade auch so.
The Metal Gear Solid haircut is called "Vokuhila" in Germany, it is short for "Vorne kurz, hinten Lang" translation would be "short front, long back".
I was about to write exactly this! In English, it would be "Shfrloba"...
The Brits call it mullet.
@@Eysenbeiss Yes, I've heard that before! "mullet" sounds okay to me!
It is hockey hair or Bundesliga haare.
Oliver Onions were Italians who published the original Santa Maria and Roland Kaiser made a German version. During this time, "schlagersänger" often made German versions of international musicians. Some of them became so legendary that the originals were forgotten. Almost every German knows the song “Ein Bett im Kornfeld” from the 1970s, but the original “Let Your Love Flow” by the Bellamy Brothers has been forgotten.
In the 1980s, german rock and pop musicians began to make more songs in german language, which until then had usually only been done by "Schlager-" and "Volks-" musicians.
A radical change occurred because many young bands from England absorbed the electronic influence of German electronic pioneers (Kraftwerk, Tangerin Dream, but also electronic classics such as Karl-Heinz Stockhausen, Eberhard Schoener). Together with the technical development, the polyphonic synthesizer became affordable, sampling became popular, this led to a variety of different musical fields of activity.
Very good explained. The 80th were influenced by so many things: leaving the more political 70th. Going more commercial (for example Genesis) and fun and dance orientated through MIDI, sequencing and sampling: Electro Pop for example Franky goes to hollywood would not be possibel 10 years earlier. Also NDW Neue Deutsche Welle, where German was at first sung in Rock-Pop. The upcoming of Rap -later Hiphop (Grand Master Flash). Beside this there was also Hardrock (VanHalen Jump), Punk and Folk and Fun orientated stuff like Polonäse Blankenese and so on. Also privat TV (MTV) was starting in Germany. Later teckno startet from Germany (89 Love Parade Berlin). There was so much going on in these 10 Years. And overall the pop music was more "songs" than today. The most important musical instrument of the 80th was the Yamaha DX-7 Synthesizer. You can hear it on thousands of pop songs.
@@daysailertogo Nice additions. Genesis and Yes, for example, became also more chart-ready because the audience no longer wanted to hear the excesses of pro rock and minute-long improvisations. This corresponds to your comments that everything became more fun-oriented.
A phenomenon emerged due to the new technology, groups like Alphaville began to make music even though they didn't know any instruments.
I would also like to think of the Oberheim synthesizer whose sound was formative back then (e.g. in the VanHalen jump mentioned by dit).
As a 50 year old norwegian I remember a scaringly high amount of these songs🤣😆
Oh, don't worry about that, remembering is always good. I'm 16 and I know most of these songs too, they were my childhood
I danced to all of these songs for hours and hours. You brought back so many memories for me with the video 😎. In Berlin the clubs (disco's) were open until early in the morning at 5 a.m. to 6 a.m. I often go from one disco to the next. On some nights there were 6 discos or clubs (clubs used to be for better guests). The first time I went to a disco was when I was 13, but I looked much older, even the police thought I was 18 or 19 years old. At first I only went to discos on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, but later I went to discos every day. Sometimes I go straight from the disco to work. On the weekend we always went to Dico's in Berlin first, and at some point in the night we drove to Hamburg, Helmstedt, Wolfsburg or Cologne and continued there the next evening. IT WAS A REALLY COOL TIME😎😎😎
Well, in 40 years I bet people will laugh about how we look and sound today 🙃
I see this video with an astonishing number of Austrian singers. In the 80s we had a really good music scene in Austria. Then the U.S. music industry turned it off. Since 2000 everything had to sound the same and if possible be in English. The radio didn't play local music anymore unless it didn't sound like anything. The radio presenters were no longer allowed to choose the music themselves.
That was the music from childhood here in Germany. An amazing time
Falco was no.1 in the US charts. You should know him. And Nena. And Milli Vanilli.
I really think you'd find a 90s version of this interesting. From everything I've heard, that was a super different time here in Europe.
Moin! Lang leben die 80er🎉!!+
6:10 Less so in Europe. In the 90s, popular music was quite different here compared to the US. The transition of the 80s (mainly driven, I think, by the advancement of synth technology... I mean the analog synth is basically the sound of the 80s) flowed into 90s Eurodance acts that people today still look back on fondly. To me, the 2000s felt like more of a shift. However, if you look at German charts, the biggest contrasting shift came in 2016 or shortly thereafter. Before that, it was at least a little varied (I don't like most contemporary mainstream music, so I didn't like that either but at least there was more than one genre). Now it's all trap beats, island rhythms and autotune. And I mean literally the top 10 (songs made in Germany) of a given year being just that.
11:05 Level 42 had success in Germany? I'd never have known. I only know their songs bc I play bass and Mark King is a slap bass icon but I've never met another German who had heard of them.
Funny how some of the songs that topped the charts for a week are songs everyone still knows the lyrics of but others that were super big then and forgotten after. Kinda like Dragostea Din Tei, if you remember that one (the "numa numa song"). Super successful for an entire year and then everyone was just done with it ^^
My youth and my music and the best time for me was the 80s.
Did you skip or cut songs, or did the original video creator leave them out? Culture Club - Do You Really Want To Hurt Me, Robin Gibb - Juliet, Laura Branigan - Self Control, Europe - The Final Countdown and Ofra Haza - Im nin'alu were all missing.
Omg I know all this songs😅
It was my time 😊
I love them❤
That weird lively german rock-ish music is called 'neue deutsche Welle', a solely german branch of the new wave music style. It was quite interesting. Maybe you want to look it up, it was something and today it has something nostalgic, especially for eastern german, bc it was one of the few ways we could experiment and express ourselves relatively free.
In Germany this haircut is called Vokuhila which basically is an abbreviation for VOrne KUrz HInten LAng (i.e. short in the front, long on the back). IIRC it's called mullet or mullet haircut in English.
That 'metal gear' haircut is called 'vokuhila' (vorne kurz hinten lang - short in the front long in the back) in German and a mullet in English. It's been around for centuries.
God, i was so in love with Sandra when Maria Magdalena came out. As probably every male teenager at that time in Germany. She was sooo beautiful.
I know not all, but most of the songs. As i am born in early 70s, i was a teenager in the 80s..
If you ask me what a typical 80s song was, it would be: "What is Love?" from Howard Jones, and/or ""Wild Boys" from Duran Duran.
I'm always delighted when I see a good friend's little sister show up (15:48), with whom I partied so much in the early 80s. She could always imitate Zarah Leander perfectly...
Super 👍 das wahren meine Zeiten, ich liebe Rick Ashley ❤👏👏👏👏👏👏
Greetings from Germany
Abba isn't showing those stage lights because it's new and fancy - they are literally singing about them. "Super Trouper" it the name for a following spotlight in the entertainment industry - the one directed onto the main person on stage. That's why "lights are gonna blind me" - looking into 2kW of Xenon... will blind you.
Always funny to see again, how long or short some songs lasted on the top spot.
At least some spend many more months in the top 10.
80s are the best decade in music! Best melodies, best musician Music since 2000 sucks, especially in the last years.
German music has tried to find itself in the 80's. thats why an music genre like "NDW" occured. NDW stands for "Neue Deutsche Welle" (New German Wave). with artists like "Nena" with her famos song "99 Luftballons". and yes, in the 80s where also a lot of weird music 🙀
Schon spannend alle songs seiner kindheit zu hören ,modisch waren die 80iger schon , sagen wir mal gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber musikalisch ganz weit vorne
Grüße aus 🇦🇹 nach 🇺🇲
I'm born in 1985. I grew up with that.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nice, but THE 80s SONG is "Take on me" from A-ha, nice to have it here. Sendiing from Germany/BlackForest.

Ich sehe Alphaville im Thumbnail - ich klicke. So einfach ist das xD
The german songs was not trying and find somethingit is called New German Wave "Neue Deutsche Welle". The other Songs are iconic Songs likeF.R.Davids, Laid Back, Gazebo, Alphaville, and so on....god i am Old, 53 years now....this time was my best time as growing teen.

The German-language lyrics, their relative brevity, rawness and coolness were particularly characteristic. The minimalism of the performances was also often a stylistic device. Many of the artists were only musically active or successful at the time.
over all....
The 1980s are considered to be the decade of upheaval and stood for pretty wacky fashion, perms, mullets and songs that are still guaranteed to get any party going today. Musically, this decade produced hits that can undoubtedly be described as classics in music history. Stylistically, the era between 1980 and 1989 produced a whole host of trends with New Wave, synth pop, Neue Deutsche Welle and the Italo disco New Generation hype, which continued into the 90s and still influence many artists today. In the 80s, the term "#pop" finally established itself as a generic term for the genre, which was particularly influenced by megastars such as Michael Jackson and Madonna. The era of music videos also began in the 80s - in Germany, formats such as "Formel Eins", "Thommy's Popshow" and Otto Waalkes' "Ronnys Popshow" enjoyed great popularity as a result. At the same time, the music program "Top of the Pops" (TOTP) became THE Mecca for live performances by international pop stars in England over the years, while in Germany the most successful pop artists of the year traditionally performed live in "Peter's Popshow" in Dortmund's Westfalenhalle.
Milli Vanilli was a disco-pop duo produced by Frank Farian and consisting of Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. The duo's initial great success ended in scandal in 1990 when it became known that they had not sung any of their songs themselves.
Frank Farian produced also Boney M. and the guy pretend to sing there too. It was originally Frank Farians voice you hear in their somgs and so the voice in "Pokerface" from Lady Gaga aswell.

But in the end, this 2 fool's noses were good for one thing: This started the (MTV) unplugged wave...
for some reason "the final countdown" was cut
The 80s were fantastic. I miss pop music. Found some good songs in Kpop.
In the 80s the Artists gave a shit on a the Music Style , they just wrote the Songs they had in mind !!!
Rick Asrleys "cry for help" is not the same style like his other songs
my thoughts too. I love the song.
Many of the songs on this list were also hits in the USA and particularly in the UK in that decade, unsurprisingly, since the growth of the music industry and the music video revolution made so many more bands and songs go international. In fact, there are very few songs on that list that a listener in the UK at that time (as I was) would not recognise, with British artists such as OMD, Kajagoogoo, Rod Stewart, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Murray Head, Tears For Fears, Paul Hardcastle, Level 42, Mel & Kim and The Pet Shop Boys.
All the cool kids listened to BAP.
Memories. I was born in 1962.
The best decade ever - not only musically! Everything was possible. And that's exactly what I'm missing today. Listen to contemporary music: Nothing special, nothing unexpected, nothing unique or new. Everything sounds the same. Boring👎
1:47 Who sang the original Santa Maria?
Santa Maria" made Roland Kaiser the chart leader - for the first and only time to date. "Santa Maria" is one of the most famous German hits. January 1st, 2022
i knew every one of them, but im a German 80´s child so i guess its normal
4:18 "The 80s were more lively than the 90s." I don´t know maybe in the US with Grunge being very big in the early 90s and then later (Gangster)Rap took over until Nu Metal came around however here in Germany with Eurodance and all the stuff i don´t think so.
When I think of "my" 80s, the pieces from 1980-82 or 1988/89 often don't fit in. Some are still in the 70s, others are already in the 90s.
Yes. 19. I really love that song and while listening to it, I think about US. I love US hmmm Sorry had to tell 🙂Sincerely 🙂
Those were the days - when singers actually could sing. Well, except Milli Vanilli... :)
The first Santa Maria is in italian, and is the original.
My favorite music is from the 80s because I love the Synth, and its diversity.
Dieter Bohlen (Modern Talking) is one of the most successful german artists.
Sadly Milli Vanilli are fakers, managed by Frank Farian. I don't really knows who sang the songs.
And sadly the Willi Manilli song is more true and real then the music we have today.
@@Goddybag4Lee just because they didn't sing it doesn't mean others didn't either ;)
You forgot one thing about Dieter Bohlen. We all hate him or that, what he did to our ears since the 80's...!
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 Agreed
@@LexusLFA554 Schon in Ordnung... Kann man ja mal vergessen. Du weißt ja... Schlimme Dinge verdrängt unser Verstand!
Nena, the queen!!!
15:36 Look at that. It's the song of of German reunification. ;)
Overall, I'm wondering who collected this data... There were times, especially during the "Neue Deutsche Welle" era, when almost nothing else was played on the radio. And there were at most a handful of songs represented here.
10:39, I also had this hairstyle😅
13:34 😃
Damn, nearly every song I knew. Dunno if that´s good or bad 😁
I know every single song 😄
Most of the hits were internationally successful, not just in Germany.
Es gab die deutsche Welle und englische popper time. Und Schlager pirade und from Italien and alles zusammen mit rock
01:14 der gute alte Mike Krüger
Do you have a dog, a cat, or was it your wife???😂😂😂
I think of the very early days of Madonna; the way she danced and dressed... Also so typical 80`ies.
You`re right about what you say (the experimental thing, the futuristic style and the "cool look"). Did you know, that Tina Turner lived for some time in Germany in Cologne (german: Köln)? She was even married with a german, I think.
It was his cat... Tina Turner was married to a German record company manager from 2013 until her death in 2023. She also lived in Switzerland from 1995 until she died there🤓
@@martinkasper197 Ah, ok! Thank you. (Danke)🙂
If you`re remembering anything of the 80`s, you don`t experienced that time. The wildest Time of my life
^sry. you to young to understand that, i love it since 1975.
15:36 Ah, THE HOFF! The man, who sung down the Berlin Wall^^
What is so bad about 80' Music??? I don't understand you! For me the 80' was the greatest Decade of All Time. And on the second place for me came the 70'! But that's my opinion.
too many interruptions😣
these shit top 80 everx 5 seconds forget it is useless
Boney M. and Modern Talking - The 2nd-worst Germany had ever done to the world ... 😖
And who do you think you are to speak in people's behalf? Typical German arrogance... nothing has changed.
Best, you mean
