Vas ist das? Das ist wiener schnitzel! (are we speaking German? If so, that's the only German I know other than a few Rammstein lyrics. I picked it up from a longtime friend who took German and value it greatly. :)
Man könnte natürlich auch sagen, dass es nur deshalb so "kraftvoll, dramatisch und emotional klingt", weil man kaum ein Wort versteht. :) Jedenfalls eine 'große' Geste!
I thought, just for a second, you might have gone with a "what-if" coda.......What if Bowie had have persuaded Marlene to sing "Helden" in "Just a Gigolo"? Can you hear her, perched on a stool, behind that veil.....
"Dann sind wir Helden
An diesem Tag".
@debutch First, I can't thank you enough for sharing that amazing Elvis Punk story - still have a hard time buying into it as I'm a big Elvis and Sex Pistols fan and never heard of it - regardless - fabulous and I thank you for taking the time to share...second..who doesn't LOVE David Bowie?!
I think it's just me but one should listen to the song..right??? Then when you hit "love" you really mean it - like this is in German:) See, I listened...
@lesakramer5 I agree with you on what you just said about actually listening to the song before clicking on the button..there's a few people who just assume they like something because they've heard it before and don't bother to actually listen to it again in the moment.that annoys me...there's even a few people here who just press the button without even knowing the song at all..that annoys me even more..they're just pretending to love it..I don't understand these people..they are fake lovers.
@lesakramer5 First, I'm not surprised you haven't heard of the "Elvis/Punk" story before. That's because it was me who made the whole thing up! =D Secondly, I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it...makes it all worthwhile for me! :-) Thirdly, I'm impressed with your opinion on listening/clicking "loves" I have, in the past, had 10 minute songs posted on TIMJ & received a "love" ONE minute after I posted it!...Aah well, they're only trying to be nice, I suppose....:-)
@philipnareike@lesakramer5 Yes Phil, I know all about 'fake lovers'.... Oooh, what am I saying?...Yes, they should all be taken outside at dawn & shot ( preferably with an air-rifle...just to make it more painful LOL! )
@debutch Recently read a "bio" of Berlin, the city not the band, and there was a fine chapter on Bowie in Berlin and the genesis of "Helden". And a terrific piece on Dietrich on the set of "Just a Gigolo". And I'm never far from meditating on Marlene.

paulgdaly
@philipnareike I second that emotion.
debutch
@paulgdaly I think you've sold " Just a gigolo" to me now. Intriguing....
paulgdaly
@debutch NOOOOOOO! The only damn thing in it is Dietrich's ten minutes.
debutch
@paulgdaly oh well, that's made it easier for me then. Thanks!
