"what happend between the 80's and 90's?" Berlin Wall came down, Germany reunited, the Cold War ended. The early 90's were full of hope and excitement!
It was a great time. I miss the feeling of everything gonna be alright and what you said - Hope. Hope or back then knowing all will be good for everybody. Today i miss it and feel betrayed. What went so wrong? I think 9/11 was one big thing. I remember when i seen the second tower falling on tv and thinking this could lead to ww3 and fear for the future in a global scale. Sorry for my english and spamming Nonsens. I normaly not comment but this time i had to.
What I dislike about these complications is that they show like 5 secs of the song. I think they should at least use 10 to 15 seconds to get a feel for the song.

"Zehn kleine Jägermeister" (German: Ten Little (Master) Huntsmen/Jägermeisters) is a song by German punk rock group Die Toten Hosen. It was released in June 1996 as the fourth single from the album Opium fürs Volk ("Opium for the people"). It is the band's biggest hit, reaching number one on German, Austrian and Swiss charts. Based on "Ten Little Indians"; an American children's counting out rhyme. In 1868, songwriter Septimus Winner adapted it as a song, then called "Ten Little Injuns", for a minstrel show. It's a drinking song, and the fact that drinking songs are a tradition for Die Toten Hosen is ironized on the album version as an interview in the beginning and end of the song. The song's title and theme are a parody of "Zehn kleine Negerlein" (Ten little negroes), which is a song about how out of ten characters only one was left in the end; the parody lies in the improbable manner of their removals: One little Jägermeister didn't like being alone, so he invited nine Jägermeisters over for Christmas. Ten little Jägermeisters smoked a joint. One of them was knocked out, so there were only nine left. Nine little Jägermeisters wanted to inherit. For there to be an inheritance, one had to die. Eight little Jägermeisters liked to drive fast. Seven went to Düsseldorf and one went to Cologne. Seven little Jägermeisters were at the rendezvous. One of them was unexpectedly joined by her husband. Six little Jägermeisters wanted to save taxes. One was caught, five were allowed to pay extra. Five little Jägermeisters were checked. One policeman took it too seriously and there were still four of them. Four little Jägermeisters in the army: they competed to drink, the best one died. Three little Jägermeisters went to the pub. There they had two steaks with beans and one with mad cow disease (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy [BSE]). Two little master hunters asked for asylum. One was accepted, the other was too much. One little master hunter didn't like being alone, so he invited nine new masters to join him for Easter. Refrain: One for all, all for one, when one is gone, who will cry? Once it hits everyone, don't get angry. That's how it goes in life, you or me. Everyone has to go once, even if your heart breaks. It won't end the world. Don't get angry!
@@jochendamm aside of the ruff not 100% correct translation (grammar whise) it should be said that the original versions would be seen as compleatly racist nowadays (and probaply really had recist intentions unlike some other songs wich get blamed for it) just to give context band probaply thiught the concept and melodie si good but lets make it into something non racist whyle also making fun about it
and Eurodance was only commercial Bullshit from the Major Labels for prolls, Prodigy saw it first and answer with the Song No Good(Start to Dance) a parody of the Eurodance Scene
This is not a subjective list. It is composed out of the all time top 5 per year. What happened between the 80s and 90s was the reunification. People were happy. American GIs teamed up with DJs and made the best music genre invented in Germany: Eurodance. It has a simple melody, a repeating bassline, 4/4 rhythm, 125-150 bpm, a male rapper and a female soul voice. It started in 1992 with Rhythm is a dancer to get popular, rose to the highest in 1994 and was gone in 1996. Some attempts were made afterwards without success. Last songs i found were by J.O.Y.C.E. feat A.K.S.W.I.F.T. in 2017 and 2018. Basically Eurodance warrants a reaction in itself. I am listening to this genre for over 20 years. Daily. I just can't get enough of it. Captain Hollywood, Culture Beat, La Bouche, Magic Affair all that.
06:06 [Intro] A little Jägermeister hated being alone, So he invited nine fellow Jägermeisters for the Christmas feast. [Verse 1] Ten little Jägermeisters shared a joint, One got knocked out, and now there were just nine. Nine little Jägermeisters dreamed of their inheritance, But for one to inherit, another had to go. Eight little Jägermeisters loved to drive fast, Seven sped off to Düsseldorf, while one went to Cologne. [Chorus] One for all, and all for one, If one is gone, who’s going to cry? It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret, That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me. [Verse 2] Seven little Jägermeisters went out on a date, When unexpectedly, one husband showed up. Six little Jägermeisters sought to save on their taxes, One got locked up, five had to pay up. Five little Jägermeisters faced a police check, One cop was too strict, and now they were just four. [Chorus] One for all, and all for one, If one is gone, who’s going to cry? It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret, That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me. Everyone must go in time, And if your heart should break, The world won't come crashing down, So don’t you fret! [Verse 3] Four little Jägermeisters were in the army, Competing to drink; the best one’s no more. Three little Jägermeisters hit up a pub, They ordered two steaks with beans and one with beef madness. Two little Jägermeisters sought asylum, One was accepted, the other was too much. [Chorus] One for all, and all for one, If one is gone, who’s going to cry? It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret, That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me. Everyone must go in time, And if your heart should break, The world won't come crashing down, So don’t you fret! One for all, and all for one, When we are gone, who’s going to cry? It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret, That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me. Everyone must go in time, And if your heart should break, The world won't come crashing down, So don’t you fret! Yes, the world won't come crashing down, So don’t you fret! [Outro] A little Jägermeister hated being alone, So he invited nine new masters for the Easter feast.
Great translation, I have only three minor nit-picks. 1. Inheritance The original German is "Neun kleine Jägermeister wollten gerne erben, damit es was zu erben gab musste Einer sterben." Great job at delivering the meaning but a better translation would have been: "Nine little Jägermeisters would like to get an inheritance, but for something to be inherited someone's got to die." 2. Steaks Little incorrect here. Who in their right mind would voluntarily order a steak with cow madness? Original: "Drei kleiner Jägermeister gingen ins Lokal, dort gab's zwei Steaks mit Bohnen und eins mit Rinderwahn." Translated: "Three little Jägermeisters went out to eat, there they had two steaks with beans and one with cow madness." It doesn't come across that well in my translation too but here the story is that they obviously all ordered steak with beans but one of them was infected. 3. Outro While correct in the Intro the last standing Jägermeister doesn't repeat that he hates being alone. In fact, dislikes being alone would have been more fitting since the line is "Ein kleiner Jägermeister war nicht gern allein,". In the outro they say "Ein kleiner Jägermeister war wieder allein" meaning"One little Jägermeister was alone again". Besides that, a great translation :)
Born in '83, the 90s were my teenage years and it was an amazing decade to grow up 😅🎉 Lived in Belgium but we had a lot of the German Eurodance tracks at the club/party 👏🏻
U 96 is a german DJ and Producer. His real name is Alex Christensen. The last time he covered EDM Hits and songs from the 80s / 90s combined electronic music with classic instruments from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Listen to it, it's realy great. Greetings from Germany to you. It's a pleasure you like our music ❤ And btw. Alex produced the Song "United" for Prince Ital Joe and Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg)😉
They played the U96 song (Das Boot) far too briefly. It's my favorite song and I think it was hard to imagine how good it really is in such a short time!
Unfortunately, these short song snippets are terrible. If you are particularly interested in 1 song, listen to it in full or watch the video in its entirety ;) Lyrics of "10 kleine Jägermeister": Zehn kleine Jägermeister rauchten einen Joint, den einen hat es umgehaun, da waren's nur noch neun. Neun kleine Jägermeister wollten gerne erben, damit es was zu erben gab, musste einer sterben. Acht kleine Jägermeister fuhren gerne schnell, sieben fuhrn nach Düsseldorf, einer fuhr nach Köln. Einer für alle, alle für einen, wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen? Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht, so geht's im Leben, du oder ich. Sieben kleine Jägermeister warn beim Rendezvous, bei einem kam ganz unverhofft der Ehemann hinzu. Sechs kleine Jägermeister wollten Steuern sparen, einer wurde eingelocht, fünf durften nachbezahlen. Fünf kleine Jägermeister wurden kontrolliert, ein Polizist nahm's zu genau, da warn sie noch zu viert. Einer für alle, alle für einen, wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen? Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht, so geht's im Leben, du oder ich. Einmal muss jeder gehen und wenn dein Herz zerbricht, davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn - Mensch ärger dich nicht! Vier kleine Jägermeister bei der Bundeswehr, sie tranken um die Wette, den Besten gibt's nicht mehr. Drei kleine Jägermeister gingen ins Lokal, dort gab's zwei Steaks mit Bohnen und eins mit Rinderwahn. Zwei kleine Jägermeister baten um Asyl, einer wurde angenommen, der andere war zu viel. Einer für alle, alle für einen, wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen? Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht, so geht's im Leben, du oder ich. Einmal muss jeder gehen und wenn dein Herz zerbricht, davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn - Mensch ärger dich nicht! Ja, davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn - Mensch ärger dich nicht!
I had goosebumps multiple times through your reaction. Born in 86 I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s and most of the songs I remember from being brand new running over the radio stations and on TV over and over, some stayed for a while. I knew each and every single one of them, at least from hearing then. Was such a good decade, music- and society-wise. Then the internet and the uprise of globalisation and endtime-stage-capitalism hit hard, together with the Euro (currency) in 2002.
same year here!Not from Germany but I remember Bravo Hits bootleg CDs (thanks to which I got to know a lot of good German music) and Mola from VIVA, yeah, those were the times! I still have my first discman bought for 189DM (no euros back then) and Culture Beat casette which I have bought not knowing what type of music it was : >
Mr. Vain is one of the best techno tracks ever made. The bassline kills it every single time. If you like this one, you should listen to 'Pump Up The Jam' by Technotronic. Another killer house music track. Peace
becouse unlike us americans canadians have some taste lmao just kidding but not my us american husband si roughly 10 jears older than me (comon in same sex relationships and i am almost 30) and he told me they ahd compleat different carts and popular songs and he did not really liked them i suspect his soul is european he jsut born inj the wrong place lmao
"Die Flut" is probably the best song on that list. Makes me shiver everytime I hear it. "10 kleine Jägermeister" would be great for a fun reaction video, I guess. 😅
Hi, Joel! The 1980s were a very crazy decade musically. It pretty much started with the band “Kraftwerk”. Suddenly the so-called "Neue Deutsche Welle" emerged, which means new (German) wave, and everyone tried to be crazier than the other. A lot of it was just "nonsense", but cool! The outfits were crazy, hair sticking out, etc. However, there were also more melodic songs. Our export hits were definitely Nena, Falco, and worldwide The Scorpions. But there was so much! Techno and rave emerged in the 90s. The style was still crazy and colorful, but a little different. There was also now German rap/hip hop. The fantastic four were very successful. They still exist today, somehow.
The fast way these songs are skipping through dont appreciate them. There are a bunch you should listen fully. Like "Narcotic" or "Flugzeuge in meinem Bauch" from Oli P. (btw. he looks like you - it's your german twin!) :DDDDd La Bouche - Be my lover ...Wasn't it Melanie Thornton singing it? I was born in the mid 80's, but my Music decade, the music I grew up with is the 90's music. Still love all that tech and trance style! I cry for it when I hear it! But also music like Matthias Reim - Verdammt ich lieb dich -> this song is an evergreen, every German knows! I dont know anyone who doesn't!
I was born in 1965. My music is the music of the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s and will be the music of the 2030s. You will always associate good or bad memories with good music. That's why there can't really be any bad music. Please continue with your funny and, from a German's perspective, interesting insights from an American into the Germans ;-)
The genre with the electronic sound from 1990-1995 we call them Eurodance. So many nice groups they never Seen in this Videos. Like "Maxx" or "Masterboy" or "2Unlimited", "Pharao", "Dr.Alban", "Le Click", i Love the sounds.
90s music has been covered and sampled a lot in the last 2 years, like I'm blue by Eiffel 65. Therefore it is no wonder why you would think 90s Eurodance would work in modern music.
Maybe you'd enjoy a more in-depth video on 90s euro dance! A lot of these were released around the time I first started to be interested in music and there were so many (especially German) songs from around 1990 - 1994. The 10-year old me would have been jumping about my bedroom listening to this! 😄
Born 1969 I was im my 20s. First: prefered drugs changed. In the 80s we smoked herbs, in the 90s we took pills. The Center of youth culture in Germany Switches from Munich and Cologne, Hamburg and Frankfurt to Berlin. Before it was a night in the Disco till the sunrise. In the 90s the event started friday evening and ended sunday night.
I think you also have to look at the political background of these two decades. Very, very earth-shattering things were happening. At the beginning of the 80s, there was still the Cold War, the fear of a nuclear strike. Then, slowly, glasnost and perestroika, the superpowers came closer together and finally the fall of the Iron Curtain and the Soviet Union. Germany reunited. This also left its mark on youth and pop culture. At the beginning of the 90s, there was a mood of jubilation and optimism. The 90s were a golden decade, full of parties, hope and confidence. Of course, this was also expressed in the music. Oh yes, I'm Austrian, born in 1974.
Einen meiner Lieblingssongs aus den 1990ern, den ich sehr gerne höre und den ich dir zum Review empfehlen möchte, ist "Return To Innocence" von Enigma.
The Dance Tracks in the 90s are called Eurodance! Best Time of my Life . Check out much more Groups and Tracks from Maxx, Twenty-4-Seven, Masterboy, 2 Unlimited, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor, Fun Factory, Capella, E-rotic, E-type, Imperio, ...
DJ Bobo is not German, he is from Switzerland. But he was really popular in Germany in the 90s. By the way: the translation of "Eins, zwei, Polizei" = "One, two, police..."
Many of the singers are not German, but the songs were produced in Germany, which is why they are considered German songs; the same applies to DJ Bobo.
The Theme from 'Das Boot' This was about a true story from en U-boat in WW2. One of the actors was Herbert Gröneweyer (Der Weg), he was/is a famous Singer in Germany. I like this movie much better than the revival series, I've seen.
That was a fun and great trip back to my childhood. I forgot about most of these songs, but will never forget some of these absolute classics which used to be my favorite songs back in the day, such as Sonic Empire in 1997. It still sounds fresh af
This used to be my childhood. It was a really great time. I remember almost every song about that. As you mentioned, a concert hearing all of these songs might be great. I think, this music is much better than we have nowadays.
German here - 90's where IMMENSLY Fun! Especially Eurodance. I can remember hearing alot of those songs up and down the Radio, when little me and my Parents drove to Vacation in Hungary!
re: rave scene in 90s Germany there are a few old Mayday sets here on youtube. just found one by Marusha from 94 which will be blasted soon. Mayday was a big commercial rave festival, the indoor Loveparade with entry fee. so on one hand not as wild as the infamous illegal raves, on the other hand some big artist's DJ sets were broadcast by VIVA (German MTV) and thus preserved.
Matthias Reim "Verdammt ich lieb' dich" is definitely a quintessential German song with its conflicted lyrics "Damn, I (still) love you - no I don't". Also, none of the songs is really about war, except for the remake of the "Das Boot" theme from the 1981 war movie. "Die Flut" means "the flood" and is about a tidal wave sweeping everything away (typical goth stuff) and "Out of the dark" is about drug addiction.
I am old enough to remember watching an event that happened during the 90s in Berlin, an event that fascinated me back then. It was called the Love Parade. I think you would have liked it. I have no clue if you can find clips of it on UA-cam and it may pale to more recent big events, but for me, back then, it was fascinating. Of course I never went as I am not german, but...
Even here in Australia, a lot of these songs were super popular. The Euro Dance music was banging. My nights out at the Beat nightclub or nightclubs in general, was full of these songs. Pining or using nose sugar, (Drugs are bad Mmmk) & dancing with out a care all night long. Usually without a shirt on, my twink body on display for the world to see. Now that I'm an old boy, I couldn't imagine having a night out like that. I wouldn't last 2 hours, I would crash hard & fast.
Those were the commercial (more mainstream) rave tracks. The real ones aren’t really distinguishable from today's ones. (Look up the line-up of the *Love Parade* in Berlin in the 90s.) As an Austrian, I would like you to react to one of the most international successful Austrian Singers *Falco* his most famous Hits are Amadeus and Jeanny, but he he’d so much more great Songs. If you are looking for culturally genuine German music, you should listen to Reinhard Mey. He is a singer-songwriter and therefore his music has a special emphasis on the lyrics and humor.
Eurodance is what it was called because almost every artist was European or German and Techno-Music got HUGE during the late 80's and early 90's in Europe. The Rave-Parties throughout the whole decade were legendary. Like the "Loveparade" (*1989) "Mayday" (*1991 - still exists today) "Union Rave" and so on. Many legendary Clubs played Techno only and were open the whole weekend. You should watch some videos about that... 😅 Us Germans knew how to party, let me tell you! I'm born 1977 so I've actually attended a few legendarys, still listen to electronic music today like "Goa" which is my favorite since 1998.
@MoreJps: I would recommend Juju feat. Henning May for some German rap or the cover of Tom's diner also with Henning May. Or Sarah Connor's Vincent for some German pop music, Peter Fox for German Hip Hop, Wincent Weiss, Cro, Jan Delay etc., we have a lot of really good musicians. One of the best selling female artists in the world, Helene Fischer, is known for German Schlagermusik, a very special type of music, but she mixes it with a lot of pop music elements, "Atemlos" is one of her most famous hits. The list could go on and on...
Hello from Berlin. I was music socialised in the 1950/60 years of the last century by AFN Berlin (‘935 On Your Radio Dial’...). Please immerse yourself in these decades. I love e.g. Ben E. King, Bobby Darin, Charli Rich, Clyde McPhatter, Del Shannon, Dian Warwik, Fats Domino, Gene Pitney, Bobby Bare, Jimmy Dean, Marvin Gaye, Roy Orbinson, Tex Ritter, Marty Robins, The Crystals, The Drifters, The Everly Brothers, The Four Tops, The Platters, The Searchers, The Teddybears, Timi Yuro... Happy listening...
Born in the 80's and grown up with all those tracks. One of my favourites is "Members of Mayday - Sonic Empire". Still have the CD and it was playing all day long back then. Still a great track I enjoy today. So many great memories with many of those tracks. Like snap and all the others when played at the local fairground. Riding bumber cars or break dancer. Miss those innocent times.
Direkt Erpelpelz! und ich vervollständige mal für @MoreJPS: "Members of Mayday was a German music project by DJ WestBam and music producer Klaus Jankuhn. WestBam and Jankuhn have been producing the anthem for the annual techno event Mayday since 1991. The majority of the pieces of music followed the motto of the Mayday event in question. The Mayday Anthem and Forward Ever Backward Never were released as solo singles by WestBam in 1992. In the following years, the two producers formed a joint act and called it Members of Mayday. "Mayday was an electronic music festival in Germany, where it debuted in 1991, and in Katowice, Poland where it debuted in 2000. Despite the name, Mayday festivals date oscillates between April and December (these being called Winter Mayday). Currently, the festival takes place only in around 30 April in Dortmund and 10 November in Katowice. Each Mayday has a theme. Until 2013 it was composed by Members of Mayday, DJs WestBam and Klaus Jankuhn." (wikipedia)
I spend a lot of time on the dancefloor in the 90s. You should take the time and listen to the whole songs. The Jägermeister Song by the way is from the Band "Die Toten Hosen". You could look for the translation because it is really a fun song 🙃
Snap, Haddaway, Lou Vega etc, were popular across Europe, including UK. Yes, it was a party decade, especially for the teenagers. There seemed to be more affluence generally.
7:50 One other thing I noticed that at least some reactors seem to be really confused by is that we used to have quite a few joke songs that sold well, back in the day that are basically just taking the piss. I wouldn't have assumed that to be out of the ordinary but maybe it is ^^
missing a lot realy good stuff, like The Guano Apes with Lord of the Boards(Snowboard Hymn) or Open your Eyes to much strange stuff enter top chart positions
Look for recordings from the Love Parade in Berlin if you're interested in the rave culture, the years 1997 and 1999 had attendance numbers of over a million if the organizers are to be believed. It's no longer a thing because people died in a crowd crush in Duisburg in 2010. But "Dr. Motte", the original dude behind it, organized a successor "Rave the Planet" which gathered 300,000 visitors this year.
I was a techno - girl in the 90s, mostly in the clubs of Düsseldorf and Cologne. I can tell, it was great! The community was very close, without troublemakers. You can start the party friday night and end with a sit in on monday morning.
Yeap! I missed the Rammstein concert (really I'm slowly dying of regret)... and no 2025/26 tours is excruciatingly painful so I am sooooooo jealous of you! . But I was on my 20s in the nineties and it was party every night (literally) (without drugs but lots of beer), somehow I managed to get my Mechanical engineering degree. Lol
The song 'Die Flut' by Witt& Heppner is a song about the worlds end, filmed in the style of 'Battleship Potemkin' from 1925. The video shows a post apocalyptic world that is going down and only a few people get tickets for the last ship. Text translated: "When I don't feel calm within myself Bitterness washes over my dark heart I'm waiting for the next day, Who awakens to me When darkness obscures the clear view No more meaning to satisfy a longing I summon myself The one dream Which will never be fulfilled And you call into the night And you beg for miraculous power For a better world to live in But there will be no other Chorus) When will the flood come? About me When will the flood come? That touches me When will the flood come? That takes me away Into another great life Somewhere All the time that goes by so quickly Every trace of me flies like dust Pushed endlessly far By an invisible hand Is there on the cold firmament Not even the star that burns just for me A dull glow Like a fire in the night That never goes away And you look up at the sky Curse the stubborn passage of time Make a world out of appearances and appearances But it won't be any other (Chorus) And you call out to the world That you don't like it anymore You want to experience a nicer one But there will be no other When will the flood come..." It was my wedding song!
in Germany the 90s were an era where music got a more "techno"logical side and the artists from that era mostly used synthesizers, f. e. Eurodance. And the beginning of the 90s is in retroperspective a part where Germany in all parts not only music celebrated their new "freedom" and if you want to know what parties and lifestyle were like back then, there are videos that summarize this era very pretty well.
My early teenage years. I had so many CDs of all those bangers. Unfortunately i sold them few years ago. Regret it til this day. That era of music was great
Reminds me of my youth when I hear this music. Snap was a Eurodance group from Frankfurt (Germany).The dance clubs were always full and there was a lot of dancing and a great atmosphere. Snap, Milli Vanilli, U2 (Sunday Bloody Sunday), etc. were played a lot in the discos in Germany. Party ...😅👍💞🍺🍹
Look up to “Loveparade” in Berlin!!!!! That were parties!! I’ve been there 5 times, crazy and amazing! Nineties raveparties were great!! By the way, I’m Dutch but we went a couple of years to The Loveparade for 5 days. Holy shit ❤🎉😂
In Germany we have always 80s and 90s Parties in Clubs. And at least about 10-15 years ago they were really popular. Since my party days are over, I am not sure how it is now. But the 90s were amazing to party.
you should react to the most succesfull eurodance group from the 90ies , "2Unlimited" from the Netherlands they had big hits, bangers like "no limit" , "tribal dance" , "let the beat control your body", "the real thing" , "jump for joy"
If you think Witt/ Heppner's "Die Flut (the flood) is about war, definitely give it a listen to get a better grasp of its topic. it's a great example of german melancholy. Also, it was recorded one year after the Oder-hightide/ flood of Brandenburg and one or two years prior to the Elbe-flood in Saxony. Winds of change by the scorpions however is one, if not THE most defining song of the period of '89-91, capturing the essence of peoples feelings when the Wall came down after 40 years of separation.
I really enjoy your reactions, and I'd love to suggest a song with deep historical significance: "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions. This song isn't just a power ballad; it’s symbolic of a major turning point in history-the fall of the Berlin Wall. When it was released in 1990, "Wind of Change" captured the hope and optimism felt across Europe as the Iron Curtain fell, especially in Germany. For many people, it became an anthem for freedom and unity, reflecting the end of the Cold War. The lyrics express the yearning for a world without borders and conflict, a sentiment that was powerful at a time when East and West Germany were finally reuniting after decades of separation. If possible, could you react to the official music video? It really enhances the song’s impact, as it features powerful footage from that period, highlighting the emotions and the historical weight behind it. I think it would be fascinating to hear your thoughts on this song. Thanks
'cause I'm just watching a reaction video from a Brit to Peter FOX "Alles NEU" - that one is a great german song to react to - includes also US drums line - absolutely marvellous
He Sings: "10 little Jägermeister smoked Weed, One couldn´t take it, then it was just 9 Jägermeister left." It´s a pretty Fun Song actually, it goes along to 1 Jägermeister is left (Jäger/Hunt; Meister/Master = Huntmaster´s if that make Sense)
In the 90s in Germany the Techno- and Rave-Szene starts with three big Events. The ‚nature One-Festival‘, the ‚Mayday‘ and the ‚Love Parade‘. Ok. The last one starts in 1989. And marusha was one of the biggest stars there. 🤭
In the 80s, synthpop, new wave, and glam rock defined the music scene, characterized by electronic sounds and glamorous themes like love, parties, and escapism. By the 90s, grunge, alternative rock, and hip-hop took over the charts, bringing a rawer sound and more introspective, socially critical themes. With the end of the Cold War in 1991, music reflected relief but also addressed new conflicts in Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Songs of the 90s tackled issues like war, political corruption, and social injustice. Artists such as U2, Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and Tupac Shakur criticized militarization, violence, and oppression. Heavy metal bands like Metallica and Megadeth also explored the trauma and abuses of war. While love and personal themes remained popular, war and conflict took a central place in 90s music due to the political and social events of the decade. And yes, Lou Bega, born as David Lubega is a German artist, born in Munich.
"what happend between the 80's and 90's?"
Berlin Wall came down, Germany reunited, the Cold War ended.
The early 90's were full of hope and excitement!
Hah those idiots 😂
It was a great time. I miss the feeling of everything gonna be alright and what you said - Hope. Hope or back then knowing all will be good for everybody.
Today i miss it and feel betrayed. What went so wrong? I think 9/11 was one big thing.
I remember when i seen the second tower falling on tv and thinking this could lead to ww3 and fear for the future in a global scale.
Sorry for my english and spamming Nonsens. I normaly not comment but this time i had to.
@@BrokenEnglishDude after 9/11 everything went downhill.
It did definitely lead to war, more and more surveillance, less freedom.
Indeed
Do not forget the Iraq war..
Lou Bega is german, yes!
Yes. Born in Munich.
The song is a cover of a much older one though.
Unfortunately his song is what is called a one hit wonder.
@@albundy7718 I think he can live a good live until today.... that was efficient german work

6:06 ten little jägermeisters smoking one joint
"Zehn kleine Jägermeister" (German: Ten Little (Master) Huntsmen/Jägermeisters) is a song by German punk rock group Die Toten Hosen. It was released in June 1996 as the fourth single from the album Opium fürs Volk ("Opium for the people"). It is the band's biggest hit, reaching number one on German, Austrian and Swiss charts. Based on "Ten Little Indians"; an American children's counting out rhyme. In 1868, songwriter Septimus Winner adapted it as a song, then called "Ten Little Injuns", for a minstrel show.
It's a drinking song, and the fact that drinking songs are a tradition for Die Toten Hosen is ironized on the album version as an interview in the beginning and end of the song.
The song's title and theme are a parody of "Zehn kleine Negerlein" (Ten little negroes), which is a song about how out of ten characters only one was left in the end; the parody lies in the improbable manner of their removals:
One little Jägermeister didn't like being alone, so he invited nine Jägermeisters over for Christmas.
Ten little Jägermeisters smoked a joint. One of them was knocked out, so there were only nine left.
Nine little Jägermeisters wanted to inherit. For there to be an inheritance, one had to die.
Eight little Jägermeisters liked to drive fast. Seven went to Düsseldorf and one went to Cologne.
Seven little Jägermeisters were at the rendezvous. One of them was unexpectedly joined by her husband.
Six little Jägermeisters wanted to save taxes. One was caught, five were allowed to pay extra.
Five little Jägermeisters were checked. One policeman took it too seriously and there were still four of them.
Four little Jägermeisters in the army: they competed to drink, the best one died.
Three little Jägermeisters went to the pub. There they had two steaks with beans and one with mad cow disease (Bovine spongiform encephalopathy [BSE]).
Two little master hunters asked for asylum. One was accepted, the other was too much.
One little master hunter didn't like being alone, so he invited nine new masters to join him for Easter.
Refrain: One for all, all for one, when one is gone, who will cry?
Once it hits everyone, don't get angry. That's how it goes in life, you or me.
Everyone has to go once, even if your heart breaks. It won't end the world. Don't get angry!

@@jochendamm aside of the ruff not 100% correct translation (grammar whise) it should be said that the original versions would be seen as compleatly racist nowadays (and probaply really had recist intentions unlike some other songs wich get blamed for it)
just to give context
band probaply thiught the concept and melodie si good but lets make it into something non racist whyle also making fun about it
more like "A"joint
Kind of a Kids Songs but with Adult Lyrics.
the genre is called "Eurodance", very fun music still today
EuroDance was huge in Germany, if not to say that was the best decade for music from Germany counting accessibility….
La Bouche was played EVERyWHERE
Yes and 2unlimited was the most succesfull group and wasnt even German
Or Italo Disco I think but that was a bit more specific type .
and Eurodance was only commercial Bullshit from the Major Labels for prolls, Prodigy saw it first and answer with the Song No Good(Start to Dance) a parody of the Eurodance Scene
Originally it was called "Dancefloor". In the 90's no one was calling it Eurodance, this name was created later.
This is not a subjective list. It is composed out of the all time top 5 per year.
What happened between the 80s and 90s was the reunification. People were happy. American GIs teamed up with DJs and made the best music genre invented in Germany: Eurodance. It has a simple melody, a repeating bassline, 4/4 rhythm, 125-150 bpm, a male rapper and a female soul voice. It started in 1992 with Rhythm is a dancer to get popular, rose to the highest in 1994 and was gone in 1996. Some attempts were made afterwards without success. Last songs i found were by J.O.Y.C.E. feat A.K.S.W.I.F.T. in 2017 and 2018. Basically Eurodance warrants a reaction in itself. I am listening to this genre for over 20 years. Daily. I just can't get enough of it. Captain Hollywood, Culture Beat, La Bouche, Magic Affair all that.
06:06 [Intro]
A little Jägermeister hated being alone,
So he invited nine fellow Jägermeisters for the Christmas feast.
[Verse 1]
Ten little Jägermeisters shared a joint,
One got knocked out, and now there were just nine.
Nine little Jägermeisters dreamed of their inheritance,
But for one to inherit, another had to go.
Eight little Jägermeisters loved to drive fast,
Seven sped off to Düsseldorf, while one went to Cologne.
[Chorus]
One for all, and all for one,
If one is gone, who’s going to cry?
It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret,
That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me.
[Verse 2]
Seven little Jägermeisters went out on a date,
When unexpectedly, one husband showed up.
Six little Jägermeisters sought to save on their taxes,
One got locked up, five had to pay up.
Five little Jägermeisters faced a police check,
One cop was too strict, and now they were just four.
[Chorus]
One for all, and all for one,
If one is gone, who’s going to cry?
It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret,
That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me.
Everyone must go in time,
And if your heart should break,
The world won't come crashing down,
So don’t you fret!
[Verse 3]
Four little Jägermeisters were in the army,
Competing to drink; the best one’s no more.
Three little Jägermeisters hit up a pub,
They ordered two steaks with beans and one with beef madness.
Two little Jägermeisters sought asylum,
One was accepted, the other was too much.
[Chorus]
One for all, and all for one,
If one is gone, who’s going to cry?
It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret,
That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me.
Everyone must go in time,
And if your heart should break,
The world won't come crashing down,
So don’t you fret!
One for all, and all for one,
When we are gone, who’s going to cry?
It happens to everyone, so don’t you fret,
That’s just how life goes, it’s you or me.
Everyone must go in time,
And if your heart should break,
The world won't come crashing down,
So don’t you fret!
Yes, the world won't come crashing down,
So don’t you fret!
[Outro]
A little Jägermeister hated being alone,
So he invited nine new masters for the Easter feast.
Great translation, I have only three minor nit-picks.
1. Inheritance
The original German is
"Neun kleine Jägermeister wollten gerne erben,
damit es was zu erben gab musste Einer sterben."
Great job at delivering the meaning but a better translation would have been:
"Nine little Jägermeisters would like to get an inheritance,
but for something to be inherited someone's got to die."
2. Steaks
Little incorrect here. Who in their right mind would voluntarily order a steak with cow madness?
Original:
"Drei kleiner Jägermeister gingen ins Lokal,
dort gab's zwei Steaks mit Bohnen und eins mit Rinderwahn."
Translated:
"Three little Jägermeisters went out to eat,
there they had two steaks with beans and one with cow madness."
It doesn't come across that well in my translation too but here the story is that they obviously all ordered steak with beans but one of them was infected.
3. Outro
While correct in the Intro the last standing Jägermeister doesn't repeat that he hates being alone. In fact, dislikes being alone would have been more fitting since the line is "Ein kleiner Jägermeister war nicht gern allein,".
In the outro they say "Ein kleiner Jägermeister war wieder allein" meaning"One little Jägermeister was alone again".
Besides that, a great translation :)
@@honeybunnyhanni1931 Danke! Mein englisch ist meist bedeutend schlechter ^^'
Born in '83, the 90s were my teenage years and it was an amazing decade to grow up 😅🎉 Lived in Belgium but we had a lot of the German Eurodance tracks at the club/party 👏🏻
Highly stacked playlist! most of these are definitely worth listening to in their entirety
reminds me of the dutch group "2 unlimited". They had so many great tracks like "get ready for this" and "no limit".
They were the best selling eurodance group in the world Asia, Latin America, Oceania, Canada and of course Europe
U 96 is a german DJ and Producer. His real name is Alex Christensen. The last time he covered EDM Hits and songs from the 80s / 90s combined electronic music with classic instruments from the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. Listen to it, it's realy great. Greetings from Germany to you. It's a pleasure you like our music ❤
And btw. Alex produced the Song "United" for Prince Ital Joe and Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg)😉
They played the U96 song (Das Boot) far too briefly. It's my favorite song and I think it was hard to imagine how good it really is in such a short time!
first album i bought with my own money was das boot
This is my teenage years. Music was still good back then.
Oh come on, the 90s had some of the worst/cringy music ever XD
@@quietusplus1221 which decade didn't have that though..
Come to Norway:music is still great with Kygo, Alan Walker, Dagny, Sigrid, Astrid S.. and the sapmi singers like Ella Marie former Isak and others.🤩
These are teenage yearS
I'm Dutch and I'm hearing SO MANY bangers that little me had no idea were German.. lol
The music producers / composers were German, the rented singers often Americans, like Snap, LaBouche, Haddaway.
I was in my 20s in this decade, best time ever! Still listening to Eurodance and Rave, brings back memories and good vibes 🕺✌
Unfortunately, these short song snippets are terrible. If you are particularly interested in 1 song, listen to it in full or watch the video in its entirety ;)
Lyrics of "10 kleine Jägermeister":
Zehn kleine Jägermeister rauchten einen Joint,
den einen hat es umgehaun, da waren's nur noch neun.
Neun kleine Jägermeister wollten gerne erben,
damit es was zu erben gab, musste einer sterben.
Acht kleine Jägermeister fuhren gerne schnell,
sieben fuhrn nach Düsseldorf, einer fuhr nach Köln.
Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.
Sieben kleine Jägermeister warn beim Rendezvous,
bei einem kam ganz unverhofft der Ehemann hinzu.
Sechs kleine Jägermeister wollten Steuern sparen,
einer wurde eingelocht, fünf durften nachbezahlen.
Fünf kleine Jägermeister wurden kontrolliert,
ein Polizist nahm's zu genau, da warn sie noch zu viert.
Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.
Einmal muss jeder gehen
und wenn dein Herz zerbricht,
davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!
Vier kleine Jägermeister bei der Bundeswehr,
sie tranken um die Wette, den Besten gibt's nicht mehr.
Drei kleine Jägermeister gingen ins Lokal,
dort gab's zwei Steaks mit Bohnen und eins mit Rinderwahn.
Zwei kleine Jägermeister baten um Asyl,
einer wurde angenommen, der andere war zu viel.
Einer für alle, alle für einen,
wenn einer fort ist, wer wird denn gleich weinen?
Einmal trifft's jeden, ärger dich nicht,
so geht's im Leben, du oder ich.
Einmal muss jeder gehen
und wenn dein Herz zerbricht,
davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!
Ja, davon wird die Welt nicht untergehn -
Mensch ärger dich nicht!
Ein kleiner Jägermeister war nicht gern allein.
Drum lud er sich zum Osterfest
neun neue Meister ein.
I had goosebumps multiple times through your reaction. Born in 86 I grew up in the 90s and early 2000s and most of the songs I remember from being brand new running over the radio stations and on TV over and over, some stayed for a while. I knew each and every single one of them, at least from hearing then. Was such a good decade, music- and society-wise. Then the internet and the uprise of globalisation and endtime-stage-capitalism hit hard, together with the Euro (currency) in 2002.
same year here!Not from Germany but I remember Bravo Hits bootleg CDs (thanks to which I got to know a lot of good German music) and Mola from VIVA, yeah, those were the times! I still have my first discman bought for 189DM (no euros back then) and Culture Beat casette which I have bought not knowing what type of music it was : >
If I'm not mistaken was the original Song 'Flugzeuge im Bauch' from Herbert Grönemeyer, h, here sambled in 1999.
Mr. Vain is one of the best techno tracks ever made. The bassline kills it every single time.
If you like this one, you should listen to 'Pump Up The Jam' by Technotronic. Another killer house music track. Peace
i am more "The Omen III" by Magic Affair or Open Sesame by Leila K
I am surprised, that you did not notice that Oli P. of the 90s is your german doppelganger.. :D
That is what i was thinking all the time since if found his Channel, he looks like Oli P.
many of these 90's songs were popular in Canada in the 90's. I remember hearing them at the clubs.
becouse unlike us americans canadians have some taste lmao
just kidding but not
my us american husband si roughly 10 jears older than me (comon in same sex relationships and i am almost 30) and he told me they ahd compleat different carts and popular songs and he did not really liked them i suspect his soul is european he jsut born inj the wrong place lmao
"Die Flut" is probably the best song on that list. Makes me shiver everytime I hear it. "10 kleine Jägermeister" would be great for a fun reaction video, I guess. 😅
Hi, Joel! The 1980s were a very crazy decade musically. It pretty much started with the band “Kraftwerk”. Suddenly the so-called "Neue Deutsche Welle" emerged, which means new (German) wave, and everyone tried to be crazier than the other. A lot of it was just "nonsense", but cool! The outfits were crazy, hair sticking out, etc. However, there were also more melodic songs. Our export hits were definitely Nena, Falco, and worldwide The Scorpions. But there was so much!
Techno and rave emerged in the 90s. The style was still crazy and colorful, but a little different. There was also now German rap/hip hop. The fantastic four were very successful. They still exist today, somehow.
The fast way these songs are skipping through dont appreciate them. There are a bunch you should listen fully. Like "Narcotic" or "Flugzeuge in meinem Bauch" from Oli P. (btw. he looks like you - it's your german twin!) :DDDDd
La Bouche - Be my lover ...Wasn't it Melanie Thornton singing it?
I was born in the mid 80's, but my Music decade, the music I grew up with is the 90's music. Still love all that tech and trance style! I cry for it when I hear it!
But also music like Matthias Reim - Verdammt ich lieb dich -> this song is an evergreen, every German knows! I dont know anyone who doesn't!
I was born in 1965. My music is the music of the 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s, 2010s, 2020s and will be the music of the 2030s.
You will always associate good or bad memories with good music. That's why there can't really be any bad music.
Please continue with your funny and, from a German's perspective, interesting insights from an American into the Germans ;-)
One of my faves is "Maxx , get away" that is the sound of the 90s 😍
Still listening to many of these and they still play in clubs and on parties and i just turned 18
90's are the golden age of both music and cinema
The genre with the electronic sound from 1990-1995 we call them Eurodance. So many nice groups they never Seen in this Videos. Like "Maxx" or "Masterboy" or "2Unlimited", "Pharao", "Dr.Alban", "Le Click", i Love the sounds.
Lots of English language songs which I didn’t even realise were German
90s music has been covered and sampled a lot in the last 2 years, like I'm blue by Eiffel 65. Therefore it is no wonder why you would think 90s Eurodance would work in modern music.
Maybe you'd enjoy a more in-depth video on 90s euro dance! A lot of these were released around the time I first started to be interested in music and there were so many (especially German) songs from around 1990 - 1994. The 10-year old me would have been jumping about my bedroom listening to this! 😄
Born 1969 I was im my 20s. First: prefered drugs changed. In the 80s we smoked herbs, in the 90s we took pills.
The Center of youth culture in Germany Switches from Munich and Cologne, Hamburg and Frankfurt to Berlin.
Before it was a night in the Disco till the sunrise. In the 90s the event started friday evening and ended sunday night.
I think you also have to look at the political background of these two decades. Very, very earth-shattering things were happening. At the beginning of the 80s, there was still the Cold War, the fear of a nuclear strike. Then, slowly, glasnost and perestroika, the superpowers came closer together and finally the fall of the Iron Curtain and the Soviet Union. Germany reunited.
This also left its mark on youth and pop culture. At the beginning of the 90s, there was a mood of jubilation and optimism. The 90s were a golden decade, full of parties, hope and confidence. Of course, this was also expressed in the music.
Oh yes, I'm Austrian, born in 1974.
Einen meiner Lieblingssongs aus den 1990ern, den ich sehr gerne höre und den ich dir zum Review empfehlen möchte, ist "Return To Innocence" von Enigma.
Some of these bands are still around and are still making music! :) They are "old" now, but ... yeah! :)
The Dance Tracks in the 90s are called Eurodance! Best Time of my Life . Check out much more Groups and Tracks from Maxx, Twenty-4-Seven, Masterboy, 2 Unlimited, 2 Brothers on the 4th Floor, Fun Factory, Capella, E-rotic, E-type, Imperio, ...
DJ Bobo is not German, he is from Switzerland. But he was really popular in Germany in the 90s.
By the way: the translation of "Eins, zwei, Polizei" = "One, two, police..."
Many of the singers are not German, but the songs were produced in Germany, which is why they are considered German songs; the same applies to DJ Bobo.
The Theme from 'Das Boot' This was about a true story from en U-boat in WW2. One of the actors was Herbert Gröneweyer (Der Weg), he was/is a famous Singer in Germany. I like this movie much better than the revival series, I've seen.
Man Olli P and You could be brothers, or Doppelgänger! btw you could react to some of these songs alone.
War auch mein erster Gedanke!😂
That was a fun and great trip back to my childhood. I forgot about most of these songs, but will never forget some of these absolute classics which used to be my favorite songs back in the day, such as Sonic Empire in 1997. It still sounds fresh af
This used to be my childhood. It was a really great time. I remember almost every song about that. As you mentioned, a concert hearing all of these songs might be great. I think, this music is much better than we have nowadays.
The song „Das Boot“ from U96 was a remix of the titlesong of the movie „Das Boot“ which is about the German Submarine „U96“ in WW2
German here - 90's where IMMENSLY Fun! Especially Eurodance. I can remember hearing alot of those songs up and down the Radio, when little me and my Parents drove to Vacation in Hungary!
re: rave scene in 90s Germany
there are a few old Mayday sets here on youtube. just found one by Marusha from 94 which will be blasted soon.
Mayday was a big commercial rave festival, the indoor Loveparade with entry fee. so on one hand not as wild as the infamous illegal raves, on the other hand some big artist's DJ sets were broadcast by VIVA (German MTV) and thus preserved.
yes, LOU BEGA is a German singer
But the song was written by Cuban musician Perez Prado in the 50s
Eurodance ❤ The best time in the clubs in the 90s ❤
Matthias Reim "Verdammt ich lieb' dich" is definitely a quintessential German song with its conflicted lyrics "Damn, I (still) love you - no I don't". Also, none of the songs is really about war, except for the remake of the "Das Boot" theme from the 1981 war movie. "Die Flut" means "the flood" and is about a tidal wave sweeping everything away (typical goth stuff) and "Out of the dark" is about drug addiction.
7:45 it’s „the flood“
Not a concert, but we have lots of 90s themed parties at clubs all the time, where they play those songs exclusively 😄 Sometimes the 00s too!
90s, Eurodance was the best. And still is fantastic to this day. 1993 was one of the best years imho.
I am old enough to remember watching an event that happened during the 90s in Berlin, an event that fascinated me back then. It was called the Love Parade. I think you would have liked it. I have no clue if you can find clips of it on UA-cam and it may pale to more recent big events, but for me, back then, it was fascinating. Of course I never went as I am not german, but...
Even here in Australia, a lot of these songs were super popular. The Euro Dance music was banging. My nights out at the Beat nightclub or nightclubs in general, was full of these songs. Pining or using nose sugar, (Drugs are bad Mmmk) & dancing with out a care all night long. Usually without a shirt on, my twink body on display for the world to see. Now that I'm an old boy, I couldn't imagine having a night out like that. I wouldn't last 2 hours, I would crash hard & fast.
'Beinhart'🤩-that was the leadsong to the movie from Werner(Sokkergame, You reacted to) the hole CD/filmmusic is great, party music as it's Best💓
Those were the commercial (more mainstream) rave tracks. The real ones aren’t really distinguishable from today's ones. (Look up the line-up of the *Love Parade* in Berlin in the 90s.)
As an Austrian, I would like you to react to one of the most international successful Austrian Singers *Falco* his most famous Hits are Amadeus and Jeanny, but he he’d so much more great Songs.
If you are looking for culturally genuine German music, you should listen to Reinhard Mey. He is a singer-songwriter and therefore his music has a special emphasis on the lyrics and humor.
Eurodance is what it was called because almost every artist was European or German and Techno-Music got HUGE during the late 80's and early 90's in Europe.
The Rave-Parties throughout the whole decade were legendary.
Like the "Loveparade" (*1989) "Mayday" (*1991 - still exists today)
"Union Rave" and so on.
Many legendary Clubs played Techno only and were open the whole weekend.
You should watch some videos about that... 😅 Us Germans knew how to party, let me tell you!
I'm born 1977 so I've actually attended a few legendarys, still listen to electronic music today like "Goa" which is my favorite since 1998.
@MoreJps: I would recommend Juju feat. Henning May for some German rap or the cover of Tom's diner also with Henning May. Or Sarah Connor's Vincent for some German pop music, Peter Fox for German Hip Hop, Wincent Weiss, Cro, Jan Delay etc., we have a lot of really good musicians. One of the best selling female artists in the world, Helene Fischer, is known for German Schlagermusik, a very special type of music, but she mixes it with a lot of pop music elements, "Atemlos" is one of her most famous hits. The list could go on and on...
Hello from Berlin.

Happy listening...
Born in the 80's and grown up with all those tracks. One of my favourites is "Members of Mayday - Sonic Empire". Still have the CD and it was playing all day long back then. Still a great track I enjoy today. So many great memories with many of those tracks. Like snap and all the others when played at the local fairground. Riding bumber cars or break dancer. Miss those innocent times.
Direkt Erpelpelz!
und ich vervollständige mal für @MoreJPS:
"Members of Mayday
was a German music project by DJ WestBam and music producer Klaus Jankuhn.
WestBam and Jankuhn have been producing the anthem for the annual techno event Mayday since 1991. The majority of the pieces of music followed the motto of the Mayday event in question. The Mayday Anthem and Forward Ever Backward Never were released as solo singles by WestBam in 1992.
In the following years, the two producers formed a joint act and called it Members of Mayday.
"Mayday
was an electronic music festival in Germany, where it debuted in 1991, and in Katowice, Poland where it debuted in 2000. Despite the name, Mayday festivals date oscillates between April and December (these being called Winter Mayday). Currently, the festival takes place only in around 30 April in Dortmund and 10 November in Katowice.
Each Mayday has a theme. Until 2013 it was composed by Members of Mayday, DJs WestBam and Klaus Jankuhn."

Look for recordings from the Love Parade in Berlin if you're interested in the rave culture, the years 1997 and 1999 had attendance numbers of over a million if the organizers are to be believed. It's no longer a thing because people died in a crowd crush in Duisburg in 2010. But "Dr. Motte", the original dude behind it, organized a successor "Rave the Planet" which gathered 300,000 visitors this year.
90's in Germany... German Hip Hop and electronic Music ist coming up. What a wonderful Time...
The 90s had a very positive vibe full of energy.
I was a techno - girl in the 90s, mostly in the clubs of Düsseldorf and Cologne. I can tell, it was great! The community was very close, without troublemakers. You can start the party friday night and end with a sit in on monday morning.
The nineties were bliss. Peak of mankind. Rammstein (6:48) still perform and I saw them live last year.
Yeap! I missed the Rammstein concert (really I'm slowly dying of regret)... and no 2025/26 tours is excruciatingly painful so I am sooooooo jealous of you! . But I was on my 20s in the nineties and it was party every night (literally) (without drugs but lots of beer), somehow I managed to get my Mechanical engineering degree. Lol

The song 'Die Flut' by Witt& Heppner is a song about the worlds end, filmed in the style of 'Battleship Potemkin' from 1925.
The video shows a post apocalyptic world that is going down and only a few people get tickets for the last ship.
Text translated:
"When I don't feel calm within myself
Bitterness washes over my dark heart
I'm waiting for the next day,
Who awakens to me
When darkness obscures the clear view
No more meaning to satisfy a longing
I summon myself
The one dream
Which will never be fulfilled
And you call into the night
And you beg for miraculous power
For a better world to live in
But there will be no other
Chorus)
When will the flood come?
About me
When will the flood come?
That touches me
When will the flood come?
That takes me away
Into another great life
Somewhere
All the time that goes by so quickly
Every trace of me flies like dust
Pushed endlessly far
By an invisible hand
Is there on the cold firmament
Not even the star that burns just for me
A dull glow
Like a fire in the night
That never goes away
And you look up at the sky
Curse the stubborn passage of time
Make a world out of appearances and appearances
But it won't be any other
(Chorus)
And you call out to the world
That you don't like it anymore
You want to experience a nicer one
But there will be no other
When will the flood come..."
It was my wedding song!
in Germany the 90s were an era where music got a more "techno"logical side and the artists from that era mostly used synthesizers, f. e. Eurodance. And the beginning of the 90s is in retroperspective a part where Germany in all parts not only music celebrated their new "freedom" and if you want to know what parties and lifestyle were like back then, there are videos that summarize this era very pretty well.
My early teenage years. I had so many CDs of all those bangers. Unfortunately i sold them few years ago. Regret it til this day. That era of music was great
U need to listen to full songs ❤ loved it
Reminds me of my youth when I hear this music. Snap was a Eurodance group from Frankfurt (Germany).The dance clubs were always full and there was a lot of dancing and a great atmosphere. Snap, Milli Vanilli, U2 (Sunday Bloody Sunday), etc. were played a lot in the discos in Germany. Party ...😅👍💞🍺🍹
Look up to “Loveparade” in Berlin!!!!! That were parties!!
I’ve been there 5 times, crazy and amazing! Nineties raveparties were great!!
By the way, I’m Dutch but we went a couple of years to The Loveparade for 5 days. Holy shit ❤🎉😂
In Germany we have always 80s and 90s Parties in Clubs. And at least about 10-15 years ago they were really popular. Since my party days are over, I am not sure how it is now. But the 90s were amazing to party.
i am austrian and i was born '84! i love the eurodance hits - they are the best! falco on this list was a autrian too
You might like the "Oh Oh Ohs", two guys playing Techno live, and their project together with a symphony orchestra...
'Party' music started with disco in the '70s and went more thoroughly techno in the '80s. I've got a Die Toten Hosen record from the mid-80s.
you should react to the most succesfull eurodance group from the 90ies , "2Unlimited" from the Netherlands they had big hits, bangers like "no limit" , "tribal dance" , "let the beat control your body", "the real thing" , "jump for joy"
you should do some research and react to something related to the rave culture in germany in the 90's. It was insane. I miss those times
If you think Witt/ Heppner's "Die Flut (the flood) is about war, definitely give it a listen to get a better grasp of its topic. it's a great example of german melancholy. Also, it was recorded one year after the Oder-hightide/ flood of Brandenburg and one or two years prior to the Elbe-flood in Saxony.
Winds of change by the scorpions however is one, if not THE most defining song of the period of '89-91, capturing the essence of peoples feelings when the Wall came down after 40 years of separation.
Very good idea to react at some whole songs, I would like it a lot!
Having been a student in Berlin in the 1990s: you don't know what life can be if you haven't been then and there.
Take a look at PETER FOX and SEED ❤
I'm a 90s teen girl and love the music! The partys and the dancing back then, oh, it was fantastic!!
A lot of the dance music in the 90s, now is remixed/modernized in the Charts.
I really enjoy your reactions, and I'd love to suggest a song with deep historical significance: "Wind of Change" by the Scorpions. This song isn't just a power ballad; it’s symbolic of a major turning point in history-the fall of the Berlin Wall.
When it was released in 1990, "Wind of Change" captured the hope and optimism felt across Europe as the Iron Curtain fell, especially in Germany. For many people, it became an anthem for freedom and unity, reflecting the end of the Cold War. The lyrics express the yearning for a world without borders and conflict, a sentiment that was powerful at a time when East and West Germany were finally reuniting after decades of separation.
If possible, could you react to the official music video? It really enhances the song’s impact, as it features powerful footage from that period, highlighting the emotions and the historical weight behind it.
I think it would be fascinating to hear your thoughts on this song. Thanks
'cause I'm just watching a reaction video from a Brit to Peter FOX "Alles NEU" - that one is a great german song to react to - includes also US drums line - absolutely marvellous
He Sings: "10 little Jägermeister smoked Weed, One couldn´t take it, then it was just 9 Jägermeister left."
It´s a pretty Fun Song actually, it goes along to 1 Jägermeister is left (Jäger/Hunt; Meister/Master = Huntmaster´s if that make Sense)

One of the best songs ever ❤️
Try the “Eins zwei polizei” song - see if you can get it with subtitles so you understand the story
German rave culture was BIG... the LOVE PARADE in Berlin was where over a million ravers met for a weekend full of party and many djs...
In the 90s in Germany the Techno- and Rave-Szene starts with three big Events. The ‚nature One-Festival‘, the ‚Mayday‘ and the ‚Love Parade‘. Ok. The last one starts in 1989. And marusha was one of the biggest stars there. 🤭
In the 80s, synthpop, new wave, and glam rock defined the music scene, characterized by electronic sounds and glamorous themes like love, parties, and escapism. By the 90s, grunge, alternative rock, and hip-hop took over the charts, bringing a rawer sound and more introspective, socially critical themes. With the end of the Cold War in 1991, music reflected relief but also addressed new conflicts in Yugoslavia, the Middle East, and elsewhere. Songs of the 90s tackled issues like war, political corruption, and social injustice. Artists such as U2, Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and Tupac Shakur criticized militarization, violence, and oppression. Heavy metal bands like Metallica and Megadeth also explored the trauma and abuses of war. While love and personal themes remained popular, war and conflict took a central place in 90s music due to the political and social events of the decade. And yes, Lou Bega, born as David Lubega is a German artist, born in Munich.
As someone who listened to the radio every day for hours growing up I know more than half of these even if I wasn't alive back then
If you haven't seen "Das Boot" from Wolfgang Petersen it's a must watch. Excellent movie
