Tenuous I know... simply that the CL final next week has two German teams, so we're just doing German music for a week. Just a different way of picking jams really...suspect most of it will end being Wagner!
@Bukowski Makes me think of Lineker's best (and only good) quote: Twenty-two men chase a ball for 90 minutes and at the end, the Germans always win. Same again at Wembley!
@mloup@Bukowski Yes, but just don't mention the War..I did once but I think I got away with it..It's okay, I'm half-German myself. I can still remember watching The Germans episode of Fawlty Towers with my Dad..he found it hilarious...who said Germans don't have a sense of humour....
@kemiladashdot@mloup Original singers from Britain (x2, of Jamaican origin), Montserrat (x1) and Aruba (x1). Production, writing, recording in Germany. Just to be clear. ;)
@kemiladashdot Ah. If I was to participate, I think I would be stuck with Kraftwerk again. My imagination doesn't stretch much further than these (Fischer Z perhaps?). Think I'll pass.
I have faith, there'a a German song I've been waiting to jam for quite a while. I'll do it tomorrow, first I'll have to check her papers so I don't make a fool of myseelf.@mloup

OK, I didn't know Boney M were German. I knew they were european. Good version anyway
mloup
@polat7923 Your jam has some of that too :)
philipnareike
@youowemeafiver Their producer and group creator was German, but they certainly weren't

@philipnareike German pop music - always a thorny subject. Back to the clavichords for me...

mloup
@hsmagnet indded - but band has german connections, albeit loose
Bukowski
@philipnareike @mloup @kemiladashdot Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Ute Lemper, Kurt Weill and Kraftwerk, that's a good start.

Bukowski
@mloup I love German culture; Brecht, German Expressionism, Marx and my favourite author Thomas Mann; but let's not forget '99 Red Balloons'.
mloup
Wasn't Nina Austrian? I liked doing Brecht for A Level, but Thomas Mann and his leit motifs got tricky...

@leejohnson @simonp @mloup Well that's the poorest start to German week imaginable, I cannot see it lasting the full 7 days:)
