They have many great songs that people just never heard. I've been listening to them since this album came out. Had to go back and get Virgin Killers album as well. Wind of Change is an excellent tune, it was popular yet they didn't stray from their style of play.
This is an extremely famous live song for fans of the group, to be fair. But, I understand what you mean, it should have been more of a radio hit too. Some of that is just marketing though.
@@mainiac4pats Then why doesnt one of the classic rock stations play the fuq out of it? Stoopid ass corporate shit heads, still could be a damn big hit. Badass timeless jam
My dad once told me that no matter how many songs we listen to that are new, we still listen to old classics like this. I can’t help but agree with him.
We were about to shop at Wegmans when my boyfriend blasted volume,left parking lot and drove around till song finished! It was awesome! BTW blast from past,I am56!
"Mike Awesome" Ecw entrance music The zoo-Scorpions that running power-bomb he did damn he often threw the guys out of the ring onto a table damn it was awesome
+SANDRA MARTINEZ lol. it's the beat, the rhythm of the song is easy to dance to! but yes, I love to dance to this song! listen to it with your eyes closed, and feel the beat! you'll know what I'm talking about
Cualquiera que escuche radios medianamente decentes en calidad, va a escuchar esta canción en algún momento de la semana. No es como para extrañarse. Buen temazo!
1981 Day on the Green. Opening act Iron Maiden. 2nd Scorps. 3rd was Loverboy. 4th Headlining was Foreigner. Everybody came for KSJO banner day, they were there to see Maiden and SPECIFICALLY Scorpions. Shoulda seen the place clear out after Scorpions left.
Robert shaw miss him quint in jaws great actor died to young 51 he would still act had he not died miss the great man rip Robert you were the best tough man miss you great man
Damn! I am ASHAMED that this is the first time I have heard this song. Omfg, this has everything you could possibly want in a rock song. This is absolute FIRE!!!
Age...only exists in the mind of the hopelessly mundane. Grew up on this still at 66. Real rock never dies , it lives on to be absorbed by the souls of ones to accept it. HELL YA .
My wife is on the couch talking with her mom on the phone. I am sitting here at the computer desk with my head phones on head banging to this awesome jam.
Growing up with a single mother, I was raised on Old School Rap and Old School Country music. Once my step dad came into my life years ago...he introduced me to Old School Rock and Old School Thrash Metal. If it wasn't for my mom and dad's awesome taste in music...I wouldn't of discovered hidden gems like this banger. Hearing my step dad play this riff for the first time before I even heard the actual song...I was blown away as a little kid. Unfortunately now, his fingers can't keep up with his passion which is heartbreaking because I can hear that he's trynna keep up everytime he pulls out the Amp and jams. Big shoutout to my step dad for introducing me to REAL music.
I work at a spanish club , so they don't play rock or metal , but i get the Djs to play this song to dance with the ladies... still one of my favourite dance songs..
haha its funny when you say ''stick shift'' like its something different. In my country 90% of the cars have a stick shift. Anywho, that song on the road must be frkn awesome
Driving through the ghetto in Chicago blasting this song on my 1000 watt system and a brother on the corner yells " that jam is dope boy,crank it up home boy " no shots my way !
Yeah, doing your best to stick out where you don't belong.....draw a lot of attention to yourself in the ghetto. Do you need the number for the suicide hotline? In certain places on earth a 1000 watt system is worth approximately 4 times more than your life. What else do you do for fun, wave your cash around on the subway platform at 3AM?
I was blasting this today with my windows down when I pulled up next to an old lady with her windows down. She looked at me, smiled and gave me a thumbs up.
I've had this song stuck in my head for the past 3 months and couldn't figure out what song it was. Finally I have found it and can sleep in peace tonight
She was probably as old as I am. 60, My 30th birthday present a 1987 Iroc Z 28. 5 speed T tops and The Zoo blasting out the windows. Boy did I think I was cool. I would do anything to have that car back and blast the zoo.
Heard this song in yellow 1977 trans am for this first time 8 track...... Well were chasing chicks that were driving an IROC Z 28 in Lombard Illinois In 1985 .....
My dad always cranked it high as the truck allowed on our way every other weekend to drop us at our moms, I think he hated "why" we were going so he did it to drown the world out with his boys and we loved it, goosebumps every drive we took 🤘 thank you dad🔥 my children now get the same.... but their momma is right next to me singing away🤘💛
We're all still 18 when we rock to the Scorps, I'm 56 and remember biking across college campus with There's No One Like You blasting through my walkman headphones, then saw them in concert for their Love At First Sting tour. Still rock out to them!
Schenker wrote much of the music during the band's first tour of the United States in 1979. When Meine first heard Schenker's riff, it reminded him of the band's earlier visit to a street in New York City humorously referred to as a "zoo".[1] Meine later composed the song's lyrics, which contain references to city streets, especially New York's 42nd Street. Popoff, Martin (2002), The Top 500 Heavy Metal Songs of All Time, ECW Press, p. 192, ISBN 1-55022-530-8
I remember seeing them live in 1991. They are one of the few bands that are just so much better live than in the studio. I recently saw their MTV Unplugged special and was not at all surprised at Klaus Meine's performance in his 60's. He is really that good. When I saw them, the band had the crowd absolutely mesmerized.
I found out today its about the Zoo (which was 42nd street in NYC back in the day) it was all strip clubs, seedy bars and jack of booths. He said "it was very inspiring"and they wrote this song. You can hear the seediness

OMG! I can't believe this song isn't as famous as Rock you like a Hurricane or Wind of Change :/ Definitely one of the best Scorpion's songs!!
They have many great songs that people just never heard. I've been listening to them since this album came out. Had to go back and get Virgin Killers album as well. Wind of Change is an excellent tune, it was popular yet they didn't stray from their style of play.
It was in the 80's. Before your time.

Gotta love the Chorus.
Easily my favorite Scorpions song
Seen it live July 1980 Chicago, Aragon Ballroom w def leopard
i am envious!
Seen them live with deep purple and Ronnie James dio. This was the the most memorable song of the whole show. It rocked.
The streets of Chicago are akin to a zoo.
Scott Temple I was a junior in high school. ...I'm 54 best fuckin metal and hard rock came outta the 80s......PERIOD END OF STORY
Saw it live September 26th 2017
One of my favorites! I was coming home to see a concert and the flight was rescheduled. Totally missed it :(
Oh, man, that's sucks!
@@misskim2058 It did suck. I was standing in the mud in a business suit trying to setup a tent for the weekend during Def Leppard, too.
Oh, definitely sucks! Having to wear a business suit, and setting up a tent in mud and missing a concert. That was a three-strike day for you:(
@@misskim2058 I know, but just like everything that happens I now look back and laugh.
De las mejores bandas que he conocido¡¡¡

I was high as fuck when I heard first this song in 2k18 and I started vibing hard lol
Great German band ! Could hardly speak a word of English but sing in it 👍

Happy Hour
😎👍✌️
Miss u Oscar Cantu. I think of u wen I hear this
Listen
one of the heaviest riffs ever. simple yet so awesome
One of the great slow jams in Rock and Metal history that somehow also works as a great driving song, too.
For me, it perfect for the terminal I work out of since the place can be QUITE the zoo. 😂
Not a band or group or singer today who can even touch these guys. My God how far we have fallen.
South Parks songs are better
Damn! I am ASHAMED that this is the first time I have heard this song. Omfg, this has everything you could possibly want in a rock song. This is absolute FIRE!!!
At least you have finally heard the perfection that this cut is! Better late than never!
They are so underrated in my opinion and this is hands down their best song.
It's never too late
Yes it is. I love it!
@@Karmen2010 Right?? I totally agree and it gets virtually NO PLAY ! Awesome some!
You could never go wrong with Scorpions. My childhood, thanks to my dad. RIP.
rock on and respect to the old man!
Aisha Baloo .wow.god bless sweetheart.
Aisha Baloo with your fine ass
Aisha Baloo the. Thing. Im gong Tour do
This was a great concert
This is always the first song I put in the jukebox to start my party at the bar! And I'm 52!!! Don't give in to age or it's all over!
Age...only exists in the mind of the hopelessly mundane. Grew up on this still at 66. Real rock never dies , it lives on to be absorbed by the souls of ones to accept it. HELL YA .
Hummana-hummana!!
Amen brudda :)
Maybe the reason you like it is because you are 52. Just speaking from experience
It's true ..Im 47 and I still get carded for smokes. Stay young in the mind ..thats the secret folks.
My favorite Scorpions song. Classic!
My wife is on the couch talking with her mom on the phone. I am sitting here at the computer desk with my head phones on head banging to this awesome jam.
Erix7810 sounds like me lol

I had a step father that had a ton of classic rock. That's how I was introduced early on. Everything from Meatloaf to Ozzy, Jethro Tull etc.
He sounds like a good man for sure....My Dad and step dad were in a band together...Life was good back then....
when i get my first car I'm blasting this song on the highway.
It's a kick-ass highway tune, and even better with a stick shift!

The riff on this song will always be one of my faves. Super simple but sooooo well done
It's a sexy riff. Always makes me jam
Fucken rights
I came here for the Riff. the lyrics are crap. sorry
Only 18 but always loved the Scorpions. Thanks dad
I saw them live when I was 12. I'm 15 now, and still a fan
That's awesome Kyle, your Dad sounds like a cool cat.
Kyle McLaughlin Yeah, homedawg. I'm 19 and I used to fall asleep to Wind of Change every night when I was little.
Ha, same here. I spent so much time with my dad in my earliest years, now, at 13, I listen to classic rock non-stop because of him.
good man your father rock on!

You should listen to the Iron Maiden version...an ode to the Scorpions...it is real good
I have to agree. The guitar riff in this is awesome. Also has good bass when played loud in a stereo system
