Nice. Falls du's optimieren willst, es heißt: 'to take the offensive'. 'Being offensive' ist 'beleidigend sein', das will sie aber nicht. Zeit gewinnen ist 'to buy time' nicht 'win'. richtig wäre 'she's not my type', nicht 'kind'.
Ja, stimme Dir völlig zu! Vielleicht liegt es bei mir daran, dass ich in der "ersten" Nachkriegsgeneration groß geworden bin nach den 68'er Studentenrevolten. Vorher (vor 1968) war "Verdrängung der Geschichte" an der Tagesordnung, danach die Indoktrinierung, das wir "Alles!" Schuld waren. Ich wurde 1972 geboren und habe die volle Breitseite der "deutschen" Demut in Wort, Bildung und Politik erfahren. Es ist in der heutigen Zeit einfach mal schön zu sehen, dass zeitgenössische Werke und Lieder von anderen Menschen aus anderen Nationen gewürdigt werden und wir nicht immer nur das personifizierte Böse sind. Und es ist auch mittlerweile mal schön zu sehen, dass wenn irgendein Zentralrat von irgendwem einen Schluckauf bekommt, die gesamte Bundesregierung nicht in Schockstarre und Demutsposen verfällt, wie damals, sondern auch mal Corntra gibt. Ich musste, ohne dass ich das Gewicht oder die Schuld jemals geleugnet habe, lange darauf warten , dass auch endlich mal die zweite oder dritte Nachkriegsgeneration sich wehrt und offen sagt: "Ja, unsere Vorväter und -mütter haben Fehler begangen, doch es ist nicht mehr meine Schuld! Sondern nur mein Erbe, was ich ehren, dessen ich gedenken muss und dem ich verpflichtet bin! Aber es ist nicht mein Fehler!"
Its not even translated... It just tries to fit german words in english vocabulary 😂 it even cuts words in half, frankensteins the rest to the next word and is often just assuming 😂😂😂
Seeed is amazing and timeless! The Frontman "Peter Fox" has one of the best german albums ever called "Stadtaffe" - would recommend you a lot if you like the Style! ❤
The captured subtitiles couldn't be more nonsense, omg. But anyways, Seeed is amazing. Such a good combination of Rap, Roots Reggae, Dancehall etc. And they do not only sing in German. Often they mix within one song even. German Reggae is actually huge. Check also people like 'Gentleman' or 'Patrice' or soo many more. I believe Summer Jam in Cologne is still the biggest Reggae/Dancehall Festival in Europe.
Broken down it is about a married dude getting his best outfit out to go to a bar, gets drunk, meets a stunning lady, hides his wedding band, she wants him to make a move, but he is so drunk he can't and ends up puking instead and says to himself "I never imagined puking would save my marriage"
Seeed is a multi-cultural band with 10(?) members from Berlin but the main guy who is rapping here is Pierre Baigorry (stage name Peter Fox) from Germany. Their songs are all in this specific Reggae and Dancehall style. I think this is their only animated video (but not sure about it) most of their videos feature the whole band and the city of Berlin. Some of their songs can be seen as loveletters to this city like "Schwarz zu Blau" (English: "Black to Blue", describing a morning in Berlin) or "Dickes B" (English: "Big/Fat B", because of the size of the city) and if not mentioned directly, Berlin is always referenced to in some way. The cover of "Ding" by the band Feuerschwanz is great too. Feuerschwanz (English: Firetail or Firecock, can mean either) are a German Medieval Folk Metal band who often use bagpipes, harps and hurdy-gurdy in addition to the usual rock/metal instruments like guitars, drums and bass to create that medieval sound. For the cover they invited Melissa Bonny the (French-Swiss) singer of the Symphonic Metal band Ad Infinitum to sing the English part.
There are quite many animated videos actually. 'Beautiful', 'Lass sie geh'n' and 'Hale-Bopp' would be some of them. 'Cherry Oh 2014' was another one, but it's not available on their channel anymore.
SEEED is actually quite a multicultural band, with the band members pretty much all coming from Berlin, but having backgrounds from Ghana, France, Guinea, and yes, Jamaika (but that's actually the percussionist)
"Ding" was everywhere in those days, and still gets played occasionally on radio, I remember hearing it just a week ago or so while driving. Well deserved success!
You should definitely check out a translation of the lyrics! The guy is going out with his mates, flirting and getting wasted. As he passes out at 3:47 he says "Hätte nie gewettet, dass kotzen meine Ehe rettet" - "Never would have bet that puking would save my marriage"
I LOVE what you said at the end of this video from about 8:00. That’s why I love your reaction videos so much. People who watch videos like this because they want to see their hatred of other cultures confirmed will not find what they are looking for in you. You are curious, open, always warm-hearted, even when you criticize (and it seems authentic, not just polite), and you are genuinely interested in the diversity that could be available to all of us if we only looked more closely and with an open heart. As humanity, we still have a long way to go in this regard, and you are one of those who go ahead without making a mission out of it. Simply because that is your way. I like that a lot ❤
1. You have to read the lyrics 2. You have to listen to "Dickes B", "Music Monks" and then my personal favourite "Psychedelic Kingdom" and all of the rest. Love your channel, greetings from Dortmund.
Fun fact: Peter Fox originally produced his first solo album for Ceelo Green, who eventually stepped down from the production, so Fox thought to himself „why waste all those good tracks“ and made a solo album. Lucky us 😁
If you like Seed. I highly recommend you to check out Peter Fox solo album. In my opinion, the best songs from the album are: „Alles neu“ „Stadtaffe“ and „Lok auf 2 Beinen“ 😊
I still remember how surprised I was when one of my friends from England (originally from India) started singing this song in English. That's when I got to know there is an English version from the same artists as well. The way she was singing it and my other friends joined her I thought at least that song was pretty popular in England? You should check out "Thing" by Seeed if you didn't know.
beside Peter Fox another one of the main singers is Dellé, who gives some song parts a jamaican English Accent, which you have noticed, but surprisingly he is from Ghana
HAHAAAA, I love ya mate 😁 Please please also check out: Riddim No.1, Dancehall Caballeros, Waiting, Augenbling, Tide is high, Geld, What you deserve is what you get.and Dickes B. I know you will either love the song or the video, or both.
🤣🤣 The translation has almost nothing to do with the text, but the English part captures it well. Seeed has long been one of my all-time favorite bands. The band consists of ten people, including a horn section. Their live performances are outstanding, and their dancehall vibes are infectious, compelling you to move your body. From the album “Music Monks,” there is also an English version - definitely worth listening to!
I would love to see you react to Danger Dan - Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt. There are maybe 2 or 3 references to political or otherwise infamous German people you won't know, but I think from the context it will be clear what kind of people he sings about. For years I just did not find any German singing artist I liked listening to, but when he released the album I listened to it for weeks non stop.
Seeed is a fantastic band. You shoul also check out "Dickes B" but I love "Aufstehen" you defenitely need to check that. And when you already on it you should listen to Peter Fox the lead singers solo album. Have fun with one of the best german artists
Hey Dwayne fellow English/Jamaican who grew up in Germany here. Loved the video Background to the Band/Group It’s a very creative group from Berlin. The Song is from 2006 and a classic in Germany. The group is heavily reggae/caribbean influenced and I was surprised you noticed the English verse being performed by a Jamaican in their group. I can recommend “Aufstehen” with Ceelo Green. You’ll love it. It summarises their music in a great❤ Great Content 🙏🏾
Translation for you guys: So, today I'm pretty good Put a hat on me The Rolex is ticking, I look good Get me the kick I absolutely need' Yeah, another solo ride In the poser outfit, do me a favor, make me board-fat Smoke' Shit, where are the brides with pose cut Come to the club and enjoy the view The bride is jewelry and she is also chic I sing a hook where everyone chokes My wife looks terrible when she gets it out No matter, there's got to be an exit.

Get the thrill I absolutely need Yeah, again a solo performance In this poser outfit, I get myself comfortable Get ready for bed, smoke sh*t Where are the chicks with poser neckline?

Oohoohoo, you beautiful thing I hide my wedding ring Ding dong, we could get at it But we only suck our drinks You are Queen and I am King When I see you I have to sing: "Tingalingaling, you pretty thing"
We're drunk, we're horney My wife's at home with the kids At the moment I fight The wish which everyone can see Flashing up in my eyes Hey man, what a cool chick She says let it out And she's fired up to get on it I have to win time Order some more drinks She's not my kind That's what I try to convince myself of
Ridiculous! I get lost in the drink Bartender, get me some more Of what's in the barrels I'll drink it all because it makes me forget: My thoughts are obsessed with sex
She wants to see the man being offensive But I'm drunk, just looking at her Little later my head lies next to the toilet I'd never have bet That puking would save my marriage
Oh, I was so sure you would check the lyrics after the song like you did in the last videos... please don't stop doing that, at least when there are only this crappy auto generates subtitles.
What i really like about Peter Fox, the german lead singer, he openly prefers curvy women, showing thicc badger girls in this Video and on his first solo album he even has an entire song where he sings high praise to plus size women. (Schüttel deinen Speck from the Album 'Stadtaffe').
I haven't heard the song for a long time. When it came out in 2005 I finished school and started my apprenticeship and as a village kid with my apprentice's salary I bought wickedly expensive concert tickets for Seeed in Berlin in 2006 (or 2007? Mh!) and O-M-G it was an awesome evening!
No, he is right. German and English both derive from Germanic. So you can call those languages sister languages. But we are here to talk about Seeed I think...
Heh.... as soon as I saw the title I was like "oh, he is gonna like this one". If you wanna get into the weeds of German Hip-Hop a bit, you might wanna give "Die Fantastischen Vier - Die Da" a listen, thats pretty much at the beginning of German Hip Hop. But the Fantastischen Vier are still going and doing well, even if they are somewhat doing her own thing. But I agree with the other commenters, going for Stuff from Seeeds lead singer Peter Fox is also a good time.
Just bc you asked if that one guy is from the Carribbean: The singers were both born in Germany and have no immediate American ancestry. Jamaican accents are just really easy to imitate (for us Germans, at least). Generally, German singers sometimes adopt accents typical for their style of music when singing (or rapping) in English. If they're proficient enough. For Reggae-adjacent genres that means Jamaican. For Rap it means US American. For Country, it's Texan, specifically.
Hei there 😀 Yes, Seed is absolutely old school here in Germany and is still popular with the "80s 90s kids". if you want to listen to more of this kind of music, check out Deichkind, Großstadtgeflüster, or absolute Beginner. Deichkind has a powerful bass, invites you to party (songs, e.g. : "So ne Musik" (relatively new) or "wir brauchen Bass" (90s)), Großstadtgeflüster is absolutely brilliant, with cheeky lyrics and strong beats (one of the best songs by Großstadtgeflüster is: "ich kündige") . Absolute Beginner became famous with the song: "Liebeslied". All good mood songs. Samy Deluxe is a real hip hop star in Germany, although he goes very deep with songs like "wake me up", but you need good nerves on the day you hear this song.... enjoy 🙂best wishes from Germany Flora
Seeed who are the masterminds behind this song is an actual band. In other music videos they also show the band. If you like Ding (translates to "thing", but "hübsches Ding" means "pretty one" in the context of the song) also check out Music Monks or Schwinger
Seeed is one of our best. Watch Seeed Augenbling , Dancehall Caballeros, Aufstehen and one of my alltime favorites Wonderfull life ( The AAARGh Video )
Try the chorus like: "Ohoho, pretty thing, I will hide my wedding ring …" - what a pity how you miss all the nuances of the lyrics. But long story short, the key to understanding the song is this line: "I never would've bet on puking to save my marriage." („Hätte nie gewettet, daß Kotzen meine Ehe rettet.“)
Oh my it´s such a pleasure watching you react to music we germans grew up with. Pleas do me a favor and find the lyrics translation it´s such a fun song. Love your vibe thanks ❤🎉
love Seeed! Great live band also, thanks a lot for this reaction. Maybe you wanna check out Barbaras Rhabarberbar by Bodo Wartke, quite different than Ding but very funny & part 2 is even funnier.
The english text recognition on german words is hillarious :-D Seeed actually has recorded an english version "Thing" in collaboration with another band
If you loved the jamaican influence in this song, you are gonna love their version of the Tide is High also Riddim No. 1 they even have a full english version of their song "was du verdienst ist was du kriegst" called "what you deserve is what you get"
English is a Germanic language so our both poetry, dramas, novels can be translated into the other language without a loss of meaning an beauty. So we have Shakespeare and Marlowe and all the other novellists, poets etc. from the UL translated into German. You have our one's translated to English as well (Goethe, Schiller, Thomas Mann, etc.) A little Plus: The Brits took in a German ducestry house for the English/Welsh/Cornwall throne when the Stuarts died out with Queen Mary II. - not to speak about Victoria the munching Queen and her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha whom she proposed to.
Great reaction to a great song! Don't know if you're into metal or punkrock but there are so many great bands from germany. One i really love is Powerwolf, if you wanna hear top performance of the frontman search the song "Amen and Attack"
Its a song about Berlin (in english the title translates as "B major" which has a double meaning since B-erlin and the note B in music) but in German it would be "capital B" and there it has the double meaning as in Berlin being the capital of Germany
![Seeed - "Ding" | ROADIE REACTIONS [FIRST TIME EVER LISTENING]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/zmIHv3cIIEo/mqdefault.jpg)
the translation is wild. its not even close to the actual words. the track is almost 20 years old and still sounds great.
It's not a translation. It's auto captions trying to identify the words as English.
🤦🏻♂️
Indeed to all what you stated.
@@lazrseagull54 that makes sense, the "translation" is completely all over the place with barely a single correct word.
That's why I got to learn German... just to understand their (and Peter Fox) songs fully lol
Here is the correct translation for English ^^:
DISCLAMER: The translation might not be fully correct due to it being Copy and Paste frpm a website for song lyrics!!!
Alright, today I'm quite in a good mood
Dress nicely and put on a hat
The Rolex ticks, oh how good do I look!
Get the thrill I absolutely need
Yeah, again a solo performance
In this poser outfit, I get myself comfortable
Get ready for bed, smoke sh*t
Where are the chicks with poser neckline?
Come into the club and enjoy the sight
This chick is nice and this one as well
I sing a hook which makes any of them going crazy
My wife's gonna give me an odd look if she finds out
Doesn't matter, I need to go to town from time to time
I'm no homemaker, I really need a drink
Which is worth it, get to the bar, I talk to a woman
Seven Mochitos for the lady and me
Suddenly I enjoy each and every song
I even dance to a song by Placebo
I'm drunk and the lady's drunk as well
Oohoohoo, you beautiful thing
I hide my wedding ring
Ding dong, we could get at it
But we only suck our drinks
You are Queen and I am King
When I see you I have to sing:
"Tingalingaling, you pretty thing"
We're drunk, we're horney
My wife's at home with the kids
At the moment I fight
The wish which everyone can see
Flashing up in my eyes
Hey man, what a cool chick
She says let it out
And she's fired up to get on it
I have to win time
Order some more drinks
She's not my kind
That's what I try to convince myself of
Ridiculous! I get lost in the drink
Bartender, get me some more
Of what's in the barrels
I'll drink it all because it makes me forget:
My thoughts are obsessed with sex
She wants to see the man being offensive
But I'm drunk, just looking at her
Little later my head lies next to the toilet
I'd never have bet
That puking would save my marriage
Ich habe auch darüber nachgedacht die Übersetzung zu kommentieren 💀
Dickes Danke, das du das uns allen abgenommen hast 🤝
Nice. Falls du's optimieren willst, es heißt:
'to take the offensive'.
'Being offensive' ist 'beleidigend sein', das will sie aber nicht.
Zeit gewinnen ist 'to buy time' nicht 'win'.
richtig wäre 'she's not my type', nicht 'kind'.
Some things could have been translated better imo but you got the content unlike whatever google did😂
So this song is about cheating but puking hold him back. What a topic to sing about 😂

Ich habe das Album damals geschenkt bekommen, weil ich Schwarz zu Blau beim Bundesvision Song Contest so geil fand. Einfach genial
Actually seed had 3 singer that time. Each one sings a verse in this song.

The Rapper is Peter Fox check out his Album Stadtaffe, start with Alles Neu😊
"Alles Neu" is a HIT. So good!!
Peter fox is great, but SEEED is as a band is on a whole different level.. Especially as he is digging the Dub/Dancehall Vibe.
All three singers are singing, the second rap part is sung by Boundzound
I immediately started dancing!
❤
I love Seeed. They're one of Germany's best 3 Hiphop bands.
Seeed has english versions of many songs, including this one. "Seeed-Thing"
This track is btw 23 years old ;) Black Kappa, the Jamaican Dancehall DJ that is featured in this track, died in January.
Oh no. That is sad news.
The Album "Next!" was released 2005, 2025 it's 20 years
RIP
Sawn Seeed so often. Every concert is a big party with over 2O artists on stage🎉
1. You have to read the lyrics 2. You have to listen to "Dickes B", "Music Monks" and then my personal favourite "Psychedelic Kingdom" and all of the rest. Love your channel, greetings from Dortmund.
Dickes B and Music Monks were my favourites when I was younger. Definitely need to listen to them now
I love Dortmund! 😊
Seeed is one of the best live acts 🔥🔥🔥
Absolutely!!!😍🥰😍🥰😍
Actually Seed even has two whole Reggae-like albums! "New Dubby Conquerors" and "Music Monks".
They're quite reggaeish for a hiphop band in general.

Riddim No.1, Dancehall Caballeros, Waiting, Augenbling, Tide is high, Geld, What you deserve is what you get.and Dickes B.

Seeed is SO good! I saw them live and they‘re excellent!
I would love to see you react to Danger Dan - Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt. There are maybe 2 or 3 references to political or otherwise infamous German people you won't know, but I think from the context it will be clear what kind of people he sings about.
For years I just did not find any German singing artist I liked listening to, but when he released the album I listened to it for weeks non stop.
Seeed and Peter Fox are amazing! I'm usually more into metal but their music is always a joy to listen to
Loved watching this, like so many other Germans in the comments I guess haha Seeed was my favorite band for most of the time I went to high school.
Heard and saw them on stage MANY many years ago,- it was such a PARTY! (:
Oh man, those auto captions are waaaaaay off. 😂😂😂 Better pull up the lyrics on google or something!
I think from seed "Augenbling" would also be a great.
I love it! More from Seeed please.
Seeed is a fantastic band. You shoul also check out "Dickes B" but I love "Aufstehen" you defenitely need to check that. And when you already on it you should listen to Peter Fox the lead singers solo album. Have fun with one of the best german artists
Hey Dwayne fellow English/Jamaican who grew up in Germany here. Loved the video
Background to the Band/Group
It’s a very creative group from Berlin. The Song is from 2006 and a classic in Germany. The group is heavily reggae/caribbean influenced and I was surprised you noticed the English verse being performed by a Jamaican in their group.
I can recommend “Aufstehen” with Ceelo Green. You’ll love it. It summarises their music in a great❤ Great Content 🙏🏾
Never thought vomitting would save my marriage...😂
I really love seeed and Peter Fox ❤
"Schöne neue Welt" from Culcha Candela could be something for you. The vibe of the song is quite positive, but the text is rather critical.
Translation for you guys:
So, today I'm pretty good
Put a hat on me
The Rolex is ticking, I look good
Get me the kick I absolutely need'
Yeah, another solo ride
In the poser outfit, do me a favor, make me board-fat
Smoke' Shit, where are the brides with pose cut
Come to the club and enjoy the view
The bride is jewelry and she is also chic
I sing a hook where everyone chokes
My wife looks terrible when she gets it out
No matter, there's got to be an exit.
I don't need a drink that's good
To the bar, I'm working on a woman
For the lady and for me seven mojitos
I like every song so much
Dance to the song of Placebo
Am blue and the lady dito
Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring
Klinglingling we could bring it
But we only fuck at the drink
Ooh you pretty thing, you're queen and I'm king
When I see you I have to sing
Tingaling you pretty thing
We are blue, we are pointy
Woman sitting at home with kids
At the moment I'm fighting the desire
Who as anyone can see flashes in my eyes
Old, crass bride, she says 'let it out'
And is hot to go
I need to buy time'
Keep ordering drinks, she's not my thing
I try to talk myself into
Ridiculous! I mug myself away
Bartender knock out what's in your barrels
I save it because it makes me forget
My mind is obsessed with sex
She wants offensive from the man, but
I'm drunk, I slapped her, soon after
Lying my head next to the toilet, would never bet
The puke saved my marriage
Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring
Klinglingling we could bring it
But we only fuck at the drink
Ooh you pretty thing, you're queen and I'm king
When I see you I have to sing
Tingaling you pretty thing
Oh
Look at this burning body (hot)
These breasts in a naughty
(upper) red lips so juicy, (oh god)
In the middle of your net, please don't stop
Take my brain turn it off
Feel no shame, feel no love
More champagne for our game
It's crazy, but it is (ahh)
You want to ruin my life? Say something!
Will you tell my wife? Please stop!
Things are getting really tight, I never thought
you would me!
All I wanted was a body for joy, "let's get naughty"
You said, didn't you? Now you say you love me day and night!
Who will save me from this horror?
Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring
Klinglingling we could bring it
But we only fuck at the drink
Ooh you pretty thing, you're queen and I'm king
When I see you I have to sing
Tingaling you pretty thing
Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring
Klinglingling we could bring it
But we only fuck at the drink
Ooh
I hope u react more songs of seeed 😅😍 I love it!!!
Ding from Seeed is the original. There is a cover song of Ding by another German band called "Feuerschwanz". I love this cover by feuerschwanz too
Hello from Germany! Wich songs are also really good are SEEED - Music and Sido- Mein Block! Old but gold! Greetings
This song is a true legendary song from germany. I am from austria and i grew up with this group ❤❤❤
Finally someone reacts to Seeed. Hope you‘ll do more from them and Peter Fox. Greetings from Germany 🫶🤘👍🏻
Glad to see you enjoying my favorite german collabo, love them. Greetings from germany 😉
I love this song. It’s in my car playlist, and although I listen to it a lot, I still move to the beat every time.
Here an English version of the lyrics (not translated by me)
Thing
Alright, today I'm quite in a good mood
Dress nicely and put on a hat
The Rolex ticks, oh how good do I look!
Get the thrill I absolutely need
Yeah, again a solo performance
In this poser outfit, I get myself comfortable
Get ready for bed, smoke sh*t
Where are the chicks with poser neckline?
Come into the club and enjoy the sight
This chick is nice and this one as well
I sing a hook which makes any of them going crazy
My wife's gonna give me an odd look if she finds out
Doesn't matter, I need to go to town from time to time
I'm no homemaker, I really need a drink
Which is worth it, get to the bar, I talk to a woman
Seven Mochitos for the lady and me
Suddenly I enjoy each and every song
I even dance to a song by Placebo
I'm drunk and the lady's drunk as well
Oohoohoo, you beautiful thing
I hide my wedding ring
Ding dong, we could get at it
But we only suck our drinks
You are Queen and I am King
When I see you I have to sing:
"Tingalingaling, you pretty thing"
We're drunk, we're horney
My wife's at home with the kids
At the moment I fight
The wish which everyone can see
Flashing up in my eyes
Hey man, what a cool chick
She says let it out
And she's fired up to get on it
I have to win time
Order some more drinks
She's not my kind
That's what I try to convince myself of
Ridiculous! I get lost in the drink
Bartender, get me some more
Of what's in the barrels
I'll drink it all because it makes me forget:
My thoughts are obsessed with sex
She wants to see the man being offensive
But I'm drunk, just looking at her
Little later my head lies next to the toilet
I'd never have bet
That puking would save my marriage
Peter fox is also finally back on tour he has new songs. I was at a festival where he performed it was awesome ❤❤❤
Oh, I was so sure you would check the lyrics after the song like you did in the last videos... please don't stop doing that, at least when there are only this crappy auto generates subtitles.
What i really like about Peter Fox, the german lead singer, he openly prefers curvy women, showing thicc badger girls in this Video and on his first solo album he even has an entire song where he sings high praise to plus size women. (Schüttel deinen Speck from the Album 'Stadtaffe').
Brilliant reaction 🤣 Went to the concert from the SEEED singer Peter Fox and it was great at a openair!
Seeed is a big Band from Berlin with over 16 members and 12 Nations and the German leader Peter Fox is the most popular act with good Solo Albums
I think Gentleman is the next one😊
Saw him friday again at Summerjam
@@Miristzuheiss Cool.
There is also a funny cover version by the band "Feuerschwanz". As far as I know, this band has also performed at Wacken.
Seeed songs age like wine💃🏿🕺🏼
i am from Germany, and i am suprised you like our RAP Musik. We dont´t call it HipHop in our County you say rap. Insane you like it!
I haven't heard the song for a long time. When it came out in 2005 I finished school and started my apprenticeship and as a village kid with my apprentice's salary I bought wickedly expensive concert tickets for Seeed in Berlin in 2006 (or 2007? Mh!) and O-M-G it was an awesome evening!
German is not the "sister" language to English, it's the MOTHER language! :)
English is a GERMANIC language!
No, he is right. German and English both derive from Germanic. So you can call those languages sister languages.
But we are here to talk about Seeed I think...
You gotta check out more of SEEED! Check out Music Monks
Heh.... as soon as I saw the title I was like "oh, he is gonna like this one".
If you wanna get into the weeds of German Hip-Hop a bit, you might wanna give "Die Fantastischen Vier - Die Da" a listen, thats pretty much at the beginning of German Hip Hop. But the Fantastischen Vier are still going and doing well, even if they are somewhat doing her own thing.
But I agree with the other commenters, going for Stuff from Seeeds lead singer Peter Fox is also a good time.
Seeed makes a mix from rap and reggaemusic
They are really great
LOL i am german (1985) and a fan and never saw that video! and i am A big fan! must be the official version nowadays. °_° how weird.
Best German Big Band... 👏👏👏
Seeed are so amazing! See it live once and you will love it! Peter Fox, Frank Dellé and Demba Nabé (RiP) perfect Trio/Duo + band!
Just bc you asked if that one guy is from the Carribbean:
The singers were both born in Germany and have no immediate American ancestry. Jamaican accents are just really easy to imitate (for us Germans, at least).
Generally, German singers sometimes adopt accents typical for their style of music when singing (or rapping) in English. If they're proficient enough.
For Reggae-adjacent genres that means Jamaican. For Rap it means US American. For Country, it's Texan, specifically.
LOVE SEEED! BEST GERMAN BAND ❤ FROM BERLIN
👍Please go through the whole list. I would love to go on this yourney with you.
Hei there 😀 Yes, Seed is absolutely old school here in Germany and is still popular with the "80s 90s kids".
if you want to listen to more of this kind of music, check out Deichkind, Großstadtgeflüster, or absolute Beginner.
Deichkind has a powerful bass, invites you to party (songs, e.g. : "So ne Musik" (relatively new) or "wir brauchen Bass" (90s)), Großstadtgeflüster is absolutely brilliant, with cheeky lyrics and strong beats (one of the best songs by Großstadtgeflüster is: "ich kündige") . Absolute Beginner became famous with the song: "Liebeslied". All good mood songs.
Samy Deluxe is a real hip hop star in Germany, although he goes very deep with songs like "wake me up", but you need good nerves on the day you hear this song.... enjoy 🙂best wishes from Germany Flora
Seeed who are the masterminds behind this song is an actual band. In other music videos they also show the band. If you like Ding (translates to "thing", but "hübsches Ding" means "pretty one" in the context of the song) also check out Music Monks or Schwinger
Seeed is one of our best. Watch Seeed Augenbling , Dancehall Caballeros, Aufstehen and one of my alltime favorites Wonderfull life ( The AAARGh Video )
Nice, almost forgot that Song
Try the chorus like: "Ohoho, pretty thing, I will hide my wedding ring …" - what a pity how you miss all the nuances of the lyrics. But long story short, the key to understanding the song is this line: "I never would've bet on puking to save my marriage." („Hätte nie gewettet, daß Kotzen meine Ehe rettet.“)
This is one of the best pieces of music to ever come from Germany, and yes, I'm including Beethoven in this.
Oh my it´s such a pleasure watching you react to music we germans grew up with. Pleas do me a favor and find the lyrics translation it´s such a fun song. Love your vibe thanks ❤🎉
bro Peter Fox, the rapper in that song, is such a good one. he has so clean lines its amazing
love Seeed! Great live band also, thanks a lot for this reaction.
Maybe you wanna check out Barbaras Rhabarberbar by Bodo Wartke, quite different than Ding but very funny & part 2 is even funnier.
great reaction!
Another great video and soundtrtack from Seeed -> Schwarz zu Blau
Thanks for seriously changing my mood 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Luv it!
German Medieval Metal Band Feuerschwanz (Fire Tail or Fire Dick depending on what you like) have a very nice Cover Version of this song.
One of the best Songs ever made ❤
The english text recognition on german words is hillarious :-D Seeed actually has recorded an english version "Thing" in collaboration with another band
💃💃💃🕺🕺🕺Ich liebe diesen Song
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
Good reaction, subscribed.
If you loved the jamaican influence in this song, you are gonna love their version of the Tide is High also Riddim No. 1 they even have a full english version of their song "was du verdienst ist was du kriegst" called "what you deserve is what you get"
English is a Germanic language so our both poetry, dramas, novels can be translated into the other language without a loss of meaning an beauty. So we have Shakespeare and Marlowe and all the other novellists, poets etc. from the UL translated into German. You have our one's translated to English as well (Goethe, Schiller, Thomas Mann, etc.) A little Plus: The Brits took in a German ducestry house for the English/Welsh/Cornwall throne when the Stuarts died out with Queen Mary II. - not to speak about Victoria the munching Queen and her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha whom she proposed to.
You picked a pretty banga, Dwayne ;) Well done! If you need help regarding translations in the future drop me a line ;-)
Great reaction to a great song! Don't know if you're into metal or punkrock but there are so many great bands from germany. One i really love is Powerwolf, if you wanna hear top performance of the frontman search the song "Amen and Attack"
I think everyone who knows even the slightest bit about music knows the Gorillaz. Damon Albarn is a genius.
You have to listen to the lead singer "peter fox" and his solo album "stadtaffe" ❤
Seed - Dickes B is another good example of their music. Used to be a major hit back in the days.
Its a song about Berlin (in english the title translates as "B major" which has a double meaning since B-erlin and the note B in music) but in German it would be "capital B" and there it has the double meaning as in Berlin being the capital of Germany
