Really looking forward to the full, in depth analysis of "blblblblblblblblblblblblblblbl".
HAHAHAHAHA 😇
🤣
VIVA LA ELTON JOHN
Don’t we all.
🤣🤣
Your German understanding is really good. You got it all correct.
And the pronounciation was on point.
Well kind of... The translation was perfect, but it meant something else. But yes! I am very impressed, that she got the rap translated while listening...
Having learned and used it in Dresden I imagine zo be quite hard because of the dialect
Wir können das einfach
"your german understanding" must be the most english-german translation thing ever
The "cabbage" text line from Finch refers to a funny cinema film of the sixties with actor Luis de Funes wich is titled in german"Louis und seine außerirdischen Kohlköpfe" = "Louis and the extraterrestrial cabbage heads" . There are a lot of referals to other SciFi films in this. like Spaceballs, Startrek, StarWars and others.
I think the English title is "Cabbage Soup". Might just be the translation of the French title, though. Don't know if it ever was dubbed or shown in English speaking countries...
The film is from 1981 and I think it was Louis de Funes' last.
@@BeOtterMyFriend Right, that is the translation of the french title. And I just saw that film was first released in 1981, so I was wrong with the sixties ;-)
@@BalduinTube Sure looks like 60s.😅
Also, as I was born in 89, 83 was as far away for me as the 60s.
The original title is "La soupe aux choux" and "blblblblblblblblblblblblblblbl" sounds ... see for yourself: ua-cam.com/video/ohU26fbW6-s/v-deo.html
1) That Hairdo was devinetly a call back to the Leningrad Cowboys.
2) "...die Erde ist 'ne Scheibe" -> "...the earth is a pane/disc" (literaly translated). Scheibe is also a colloquial term for a vinyl record. So the earth is a record (figuratively translated)
3) The thing with the cabbages, and the "blblblblblblblblblblblblblblbl", refers to the 1981 movie "The Cabbage Soup" staring Louis de Funès,
in which he plays a french farmer who is visited by an alien. Well worth a watch.
Although "Scheibe" is working in German as a play on words for being either a flat disc or a vinyl record, I guess Elizabeth wasn't that wrong when translating it with "the Earth is flat", because especially with the lines directly before about white stripes in the sky, they are clearly referencing conspiracy theorists like chemtrailers and flat earthers:
"Ja-ja, jeder kann sie sehen
Da am Himmel weiße Streifen (da oben)
Wer braucht von euch noch Beweise
Ja, die Erde ist 'ne Scheibe"
To 2) The white strips at the sky and the earth is a disc is a "reference" to the flat earther and chemtrail conspiracy theories communities.😁
@@claudiaernst6225 I know but i don't wan't to give these people any regard, so i just ignored it.
Elizabeth amazed me by translating "...die Erde ist 'ne Scheibe..." 100% accurate to "...the earth ist flat...". Cool. 😎
Die Erde ist eine Scheibe....
Auf dem Rücken einer intergalaktischen Schildkröte auf deren Rücken 4 Elefanten stehen :P
I'm so surprised that you were able to get some of the lyrics translated, that's awesome :D
She was resident artist in germany for a year so it's not THAT surprising that she'd be able to translate bits and pieces :)
@@MinqApoc Yeah sure, but "Trockenbau"?? That's not exactly what I would use every day lol
I was really pleasantly surprised. Very rare vocab for non-native speakers to pick up on - especially from a borderline mumbled rap xD
The flat earth line killed me!
@@johnnybow7045 Doesn't get used in too many operas either, I bet :D
What a huge loss for us Germans, when she left :D She is able to pick up words, I dont even know in English after more than 10 years of learning the language! Thats pro integration!
"I hate it when songs end before I'm ready for them to end."
So relatable!! Loved the reaction. Hope the hubby is healing well, and you both are having fun together.
1 thing I have yet to see anyone mention the mustache on the ship, which always makes me smile.
Yeah the stache on that ship immediatly caught my eye first time watching, I thought it was funny as hell
My 5yo is obsessed with this song😂 She can sing the chorus (English is not our native language, nor is German) and her daycare was curious about what song she was singing😅 I did not elaborate😂
My kid loves "We got the moves" and knows not to sing it around other people. Kids go bonkers for this stuff.
When most Americans try to pronounce German words they fail completely. But your German sounds very accurate! Also impressive that you know words like Trockenbau and Kohlköpfe off the top of your head. Keep up the great content!
Well, once you reach a certain age, it's hard to learn to speak other languages without your native accent
And don´t forget: a lot of germans speak dialect, especially in Dresden where Elizabeth was working.
@@ColdfireMK also, she's a trained opera and classical singer, so she has done a lot of speaking and singing German and Italian and such, so I imagine that helps her a lot too. She's spent quite a bit of time immersed in the language
I don't think there are that many operas in any language that feature lyrics about cabbage. @@KrazzeeKane
In case you didn't catch it, at the very end of the German bridge, he says "here comes the rocket man!" in English, just before Kevin screams VIVA LA ELTON JOHN!
It's actually in German but it's like 99% identical to the English _Hier kommt der Rakettenmann_
I love the way Nico sounds on this song, he seems to be getting a lot more comfortable with his singing, hoping to hear it more.
I agree with you. He seems to be more comfortable and braver in the recent interviews and reactions (on the reactions) they have been doing recently. :)
FiNCH's first verse:
FiNCHi Gararin (*1), make the beat louder
Yesterday still in the east German slum(*2)
Today I'm a Spaceman from Eastern Germany (*3)
Kiss my ass (*4), everyone can see thr white stripes in the sky (*5) (up there)
Who needs proof anyway, the earth is a disc (*6)
FiNCH's second verse:
Fred from Jupiter (*7) in front of the supermarket (*8)
Turns the old stereo (*9) on
And raves to Scooter (*10)
Stealing his spaceship (*11)
Flying off to Mars (*12)
(Blblblbl-sound is *13)
(Here are the cabbages *14)
FiNCH'S third verse:
Where are the Jedis at?
Where are the Marsians (*15) at?
Where are the Klingons (*16) at?
Do it like my ex, dumb you hard (*17)
Gonna send Kebekus (*18) through space, away from us on a special German sausage (*19)
Flying further away thanks to zero-gravity
Nothing is as hard as man's ingratitude (*20)
Here comes the Rocketman
Viva La Elton John (*21)
And here are my explanations why I translated it that way. Remember that I go for meaning, not Word for Word.
*1
Yuri Gagarin was the first person in outer space. FiNCH is known for his East German 'eastalgia', and Gagarin was very important for people in the DDR. He's often forgotten nowadays. I'm half polish, btw.
*2
Dry walls are what the so called 'Plattenbau', the slab construct living departments very common for East Germany are made off. They are common in slums nowadays.
*3
Again, people from the DDR would use cosmonaut instead of astronaut, because of the Russian influence of the past. It makes sense he uses this word.
*4
'Jaja' in German means 'lick my ass', which is 'kiss my ass' in English.
*5
Not the American stars and stripes, he means Chemtrails obviously. A big part of the East German population has a tendency to believe in conspiracy theories. He makes a nod to them here.
*6
I can't stop wondering if this also is a comment on Putin's propaganda here. Then again: not everything is political.
*7
'Fred vom Jupiter' is a Popsong. I don't guarantee for your sanity or any loss of braincells while you listen to it.
*8 and *9
This is such a 90s kid East German poser image:
A big boom box on your shoulder, and then someone does a really bad breakdance. Welcome to my youth.
*10
'Hypa, Hypa' did sample Scooter, who also were big in the 80s/90s and get sampled regularly. Definitely a nod to them.
*12
I feel like this is another nod to a movie, or a song, I don't quite get.
*13
Chum drum bedrum. He was an ESC participant from Russia. I detect a diss here. But a good one. And honestly, that song is hilarious and good, and it contains a rap part.
*14
The English title of the movie is 'cabbage soup'. A classic about aliens who like... cabbage soup. From France.
Sauerkraut is also made out of cabbage. And I think most German women in their 30s have tried the cabbage soup diet once in their live. Hint: makes you fart. That's also a part of the movie. Farting.
*15
Mars Attacks is a classic.
*16
Germany has a very consistent Star Trek Fanbase. I assume Picard is his captain, which means this is a nod to Worf.
*17
German proverb 'schieß den/die zum Mond' means a hard break up.
*18
I switched the sentence here to have it make more sense in the translation.
Carolin Kebekus is a German comedienne/singer/feminist. She's... Sometimes annoying, I guess. One of her shows is called 'Pussy Terror', but you might wanna check out some of her songs, like 'Dunk dem Herrn'. She is religious, and constantly criticises the Catholic church.
*19
Liverwurst is so German, it hurts. It's what you eat for dinner. For breakfast. It's a staple piece.
There's a proverb about being a pouting liverwurst when you're fed up.
I think he chose the word for the image, and the rhyme with Kebekus.
*20
'Undank ist der Welten Lohn' as a proverb translated. I guess he doesn't like Kebekus huh?
*21
Rocketman, Elton John. A Hommage to a legend.
thx kiko W
Bro you did a really good job 👍
Bravo for the insights!
I've been catching clips of EC on their current European tour... Kevin has been out sick for at least 4 shows...and Nico is carrying the shows, doing both vocal parts! It's pretty impressive! He still sounds strong.
In Budapest, Hungary, it was one of the show when Kevin was sick. Nico pulled the show and both of the vocals off so nicely. Of course we were missing Kevin from the show, but I do have to give credit for Nico for doing it so well on his own.
So nico does the full blown harsh vocals too? I'd been wondering about that, but it's hard to tell from the videos
@@rlGinjaNinja there are some playbacks going on, but 90% of the harsh vocal was Nico’s live performance. The rest 10% is that part where the harsh vocal comes in instantly after the clean and there is no time to switch or breathe.
@@XentonR I wonder if he intends to ever practice the speed of switching. It's definitely possible to have high speed switches, but it's gotta be hard! Would be interesting to see. He's a beast, either way!
Do you know if any performance links showing him doing it? Would love to see it
@@rlGinjaNinja if you watch closely when they play live, Kevin sings perfect harmony w Nico on a lot of the clean.parts, and Nico does the same with Kevin's parts...even the screaming is harmonized!
I love your genuine childish laugh when the hardcore vocals comes in 🤣
I adore this band. Tekno-metal is awesome! There's a wild party going on in my car when i listen to this!
These guys seem to have so much fun. The last few tracks they dropped have been so fun, I had to grab tickets to tour in the fall. I need this kind of positivity in my life
I didn't know you used to sing in Dresden!
That's awesome! We may have sung together without knowing it, as i was in a boys' choir and sang there, at the Semperoper, as one of the child- spirits! :D
The Line "Fred vom Jupiter" refers to the Neue Deutsche Welle Song with the same Name from Andreas Dorau - 1981...
A lot of what makes a song "fun, bouncy and catchy" instead of "dragging you down to the pits of hell" is the drum groove as well as chord choices. Riffs also have somewhat of an impact but you can put blast beats and incredibly fast doublebass on top of many different riffs and they become evil and hellish as - well - hell. Put a two-step (like here) or another simple but driving beat (like calypso or a variation of the basic rock beat) on top and most of those riffs become catchy and bouncy.
I love that you never dismiss a song based on genre or sound. It would be so easy for someone to trash a metal or "screamo" song immediately upon hearing it, but you still do your thing regardless. It's absolutely awesome hearing your input. It's given me a lot of insight into just how hard metal vocals are to pull off. I figured it was difficult, but hearing the details on so many different songs is just awesome!
Greetings from Dresden 🙂
The spaceship’s mustache is incredible
Twi'leks come in a variety of colours. The one played by Debbie Allen in Return of the Jedi was green. Perhaps you're thinking of Misson Vao, a blue Twi'lek from Knights of the Old Republic.
maybe she's thinking of Aayla Secura
@TheCharismaticVoice: The passage where Finch used is tounge and talked about "Kohlköpfe" this is a reference to a film featearing Louis de Funes (French actor) from the 70s. The German title was "Louis und die ausserirdischen Kohlköpfe". They couldn't talk but their way of communication was to make this tounge sound.
Like your review, btw.
The moustache ship is hilarious. There comes something into my mind: I don't know if someone has seen the new Star Trek series Picard so far. But at the end of the first season the Federation Fleet arrives to fend off the Romulans. This scene was criticised because the fleet consisted of only one type of ship (was called the copy paste fleet). Then Riker gives his speech about that this is the strongest, most powerful ship the Federation has ever created and that he is at the top of a whole fleet of them. Imagine someone would make a video about this scene and replaces the actual Federation Fleet with a fleet of these moustache ships. That would be glorious!
And by the way: Your german is good. You got it totally right.
She was definitely without question a Twi'lek from Star Wars! They can be of many colors both green and blue are common. Also loved the fact that the space craft had a giant mustache!
I’ve seen @Julia Nilon totally lose it on this great song. I’m sure you will also create a unforgettable reaction and analysis of this very catchy tune. Oh boy is this a fun song. Enjoy maternity leave.
@The Charismatic Voice Again a heart? You spoil me. Really wish you and Kirk a great maternity leave and hope birth goes well. ❤️
I love this band and I love how much Elizabeth loves them too
I didnt know that you sang at the opera house in Dresden - thats so cool! Love your reactions, always great insights. Greetings from Dresden ;)
I’d be so interested to see you react to bloodywood and their song Gaddaar. It’s Indian folk metal, with harsh screaming in Punjabi, rapping in English, and absolute killer riffs and breakdowns with heavy guitars and traditional Indian instruments. It’s an absolutely glorious mix that works so well and the track is perfectly balanced between all the elements. If you check it out you’ll see what I mean
Hi I saw them do that live 2 days ago. It was awesome. Check out the link of the recording I did. ua-cam.com/video/gEkEmR2HpIc/v-deo.html
Another fabulous reaction, Elizabeth! Your enthusiasm and obvious enjoyment are so infectious.
Thankyou for doing this, I was eagerly awaiting your reaction to this latest offering from Electric Callboy. Such fun... so many scifi references.
Love your videos, thankyou.
Great song and a great pick. I am 100% sure that you will give us a great review a ND can't wait for it
This is such a wild song! I'm here for it! Also loved you translating the German parts. Respect!
9:40 that lady is a reference to Star Wars, she is a Twi’lek and they aren’t just Blue, they are often also Green and Yellow sometimes even red. And their head tails are called Lekku
And Twi`leks du to their nature are often enslaved by others, as girl Elizabeth mentioned was.
@@aleksanderdomanski222 less nature and more their leaders sold them and their home planet Ryloth out. (Or did Disney change that in the new canon?) Tho indeed they are one of the most popular one because of their natural beauty. Another weird Fact is that only the males have ears like humans and the female ones have those nobs as ears. (Tho i think that part isn’t canon anymore) There are also so many other stuff I am not sure anymore if they are still canon in the new Disney canon. Like that they use slight movements of the Lekku for communication whit each other or that part of their brain go into the Lekku. (I spent to much time on learning about Star Wars Species when I was younger)
@@0Super0Manuel0 thanks for explanation. Im trekkie so SW stuff isn't my best side.
This is the first time I've heard you talk about rapping, it was so interesting! I could be wrong but I think this may be the first rap to feature on this channel? Love it!
I believe you’re correct. This just may be the first rap on the channel.
I think she has done Linkin Park. Maybe Rage Against the Machine as well.
You are so fun, intelligent, talented and lovely! Oh, and nerdy too! :) Your videos always make me smile and I love how you teach. Thank you!
So I come home from a loong, blah! day at work. I almost immediately turn to this. Aaaaahhhh. Much better. Smiling, laughing and feeling better, thank you! These guys are terrific. 😛
I would totally hang out with them, Elizabeth and her Husband and totally nerd out. She was green in the dance scene with Jaba, but there is a blue one of the same species I believe in an episode of The Bad Batch, totally worth a binge watch.
I'd LOVE to get your reaction the the live version of "Red is the Rose" by The High Kings, an Irish quartet. (Specifically, the one on their channel from Nov, 2011.)
I love your passion and excitement for music
I love your reaction to Spaceman. ♥️
Your German knowledge and pronunciation are awesome 👍🏼
Dear Elizabeth - you are really still good in german. I'm quite surprised.
I'd like to give you some hint with this texts I found, hope it helps some :-)

Mach's wie mit meiner Ex, ich schieß' euch alle auf den Mond
An 'ne Leberwurst geschnallt fliegt die Kebekus durchs All
Immer weiter von uns weg, danke, Schwerelosigkeit!

Mission complete
Hoch Schieb 👍
Push it!
PUMP IT!
When I first tried reading the English translation, I thought it was mistranslated or I was loosing my mind (the later is still plausible) but glad to hear you say the translations weren't off. Fantastic review as always, though I'm surprised you didn't comment on their awesome moustache ship.
Since you mentioned techno in the review, def looking forward to their new album TEKKNO dropping later this year.
There can be different reasons why a translation feels bad or makes little sense.
• words that don't exist in the target language
• play on words or puns that can't really be translated
• references to specific things you're not familiar with
• mistranslation
This video was super fun to watch because of both the song, and how nerdy you get about space stuff.
I am not even fully through your reaction but I already must say it is perfect 😁 I love the way you are fangirling so much besides the music hahahaha 😁👍
I'm surprised to see you haven't done a Dimmu Borgir reaction yet. If you decide to give them a listen, I highly recommend something off their "Forces of the Northern Night" album that was recorded live in Oslo in 2011. Both "Gateways" or "Progenies of the Great Apocalypse" are fantastic songs in their own ways.
Not related to electric callboy but, I’m curious what your take would be on Motionless in Whites “masterpiece”. The vocal work (to me) is amazing and the lyrics are phenomenal and just wanted to see what your take on it is!
Thank you for this video. You're always introducing me to new music I enjoy, and I love your analysis and reactions. I'll be checking out Electric Cowboy's other songs.
I hope someday you'll react to one of Dynazty's/Nils Molin's songs. You previously reviewed his collab with Melissa Bonny.
The Space ship and the blue and green ladies and aleins remind me of the movie, The 5th Element, Men in Black, and of course, ST SW.
As always love your reviews…you’re the reason that I discovered these guys…too funny. You need to review Avatar Elizabeth…you will not be disappointed 🤘🤘
Thank you, Elizabeth, for reacting to another Electric Callboy track. I love how you analyse not only the vocal techniques, but also how the song is designed to interact with our brains. Their formula for 'stickiness' is a simple one, but it's so fun that it's easy to forgive their blatant bags of hooks. I was surprised that you weren't aware of the Twi'leks from Star Wars, since they're a very commonly cos-played character. Some others have already commented on the many Twi'lek colours, but I thought I'd include some more detailed information from the Star Wars Fanon. If you ever chose to cosplay a Twi'lek, you would have to go for purple / pink skin tone, (Tyrian) as described below:
"Colors held more meaning to a Twi'lek than simple skin tone. Colors aligned a Twi'lek with where on Ryloth they were born. Typically each clan or family was composed of a certain color, various shades thereof. The exceptions of course being the rare colors which were so uncommon, that it was seldom there were even two of them in one family over generations, let alone more than that.
There were various different reasons that Twi'leks were different colors, some of those having to do with elements and other various means. Blue and aqua colored Twi'leks, called Rutian, were born of the Water Doctrin and were known for being peaceful mediators. Those born brown or gray, called Darian, were born of the Earth Doctrin and they were known for being violent warriors.
If a child was born yellow or orange, called Tolian, they were born of the Fire Doctrine and would be known for being headstrong explorers. Green Twi'leks, called Tukian, were born of the Spirit Doctrine and were known for being religious priests. Finally, there were those born with purple and pink skin, called Tyrian, that were born of the Music Doctrine. They were known for being adept in the arts such as music, poetry and dancing and were typically artists. There were also rarer colors such as white, red and black.
Characters didn't always follow these colour-coded stereotypes as I've outlined below, so feel free to cosplay whatever colour you like to bring out your inner Twi'lek:
Hera Syndulla was a green / Tukian but not a priestess. She was an ace fighter pilot and resistance fighter, eventually becoming an Alliance general.She was the daughter of a resistance leader on Ryloth. Oola was a green / Tukian, who was also was not a priestess, but an exotic dancer, who became a slave of Jabba the Hutt, and was fed to his rancor for resisting his advances.
Rianna Saren was an orange / Tolian, and was not an explorer, but a slave, underworld criminal, then spy. Koyi Mateil was another orange / Tolian non-explorer, but WAS a gold-digger, who attached herself to Duke Teta for his wealth and power.
Aayla Secura was a blue / Rutian, who became a Jedi Master, accomplished military commander and general, not a mediator. Other Rutian Jedi included Hallan Krintu, Finn, Ertay and Eldra Kaitis. Twi’lek resistance fighters include Bobie Glie, Kaasha Bateen, Isval and Yendor. Alema Rar, a blue / Rutian, also became a brave Jedi warrior, but her uncontrollable anger turned her to the dark side, and she went insane serving the Sith. Eleena Daru was the wife and lover of Sith Lord, Darth Malgus, fighting beside her husband. Om Free Ta was a corrupt senator and Xi’an was a mercenary who betrayed her former lover Dinn Jarin.
Lyn Me was a pale blue, almost white / Rutian who was not a peaceful mediator, but an exotic dancer and back-up singer, who became obsessed with the bounty hunter Boba Fett and swore to avenge his death. Ann and Tann Gella were twin masseuses owned by the Dug, Sebulba.
Garsa Fwip was a tan / Darian but was not violent. She managed a cantina / brothel, the Sanctuary, with diplomacy, preferring to negotiate and mediate to avoid violence.
Suu Lawquane was a pink / Tyrian, but no mention was ever made of artistic tendencies. She had children by a human father and was fiercely aggressive of protecting her children and husband. Yuthura Ban was a purple / Tyrian, who was also not associated with arts, but began as a Jedi, who also turned to the dark side because of hatred and anger, training many Sith. Bib Fortoona was a pale / Tyrian, who traded his own people as slaves before becoming the majordomo of gangster, Jabba, The Hutt, then succeeding him as a crime lord after his death.
Darth Talon was a rare, red-skinned / Lethan Twi’lek, who was a third generation Sith and became a personal assassin for Sith leader, Darth Krayt. Darth Atroxa was another Lethan Twi’lek Sith
Wie immer vielen lieben Dank, liebe Elizabeth! 😎👍🖤♥️💛
Is it ok that every time I sing(in my car of course) that in my head i picture my vocal folds going "whacka whacka whacka" lol i love your enthusiasm and absolute joy that you express towards music. Music is the thing that makes me comfortable , its my blankie of protection of sorts. When I found you I was like YASS!!! someone else that absolutely loves music like I do!!!! Thank you for being you and for sharing your joy with us!!!!
Please do a reaction to the "Pump it ACCOUSTIC Session" 😊
If you’re looking for more harsh vocals with playful/fun, but heavy delivery, check out “Push it” by Static-X. Has a real underlying humorous feel to all of it.
Dude Wayne Static
@@codename495 gone way too soon, but brought so much fun to it while he was here.
Watched this video for the thousandth time. Still so cool and cute how you react with your German skills just good :) which you all the best for your smol family now :)
thanks for introducing me to this band, they are so funny & such fun songs. Your analysis's have got me into a number of new bands i'd not heard of and some different styles altogether (Metallica/Iron Maiden devotee but now inte PMJ+Morgan James & Haley Reinheart for example)
Such a fun music video and great song! Thank you for the great reaction and laughter! Such a shame Electric Callboy doesn't go to the Eurovision Songcontest.
I hope to see a reaction of you on the new Rammstein album!
Elizabeth meets the Electric Space Callboys 😂 Let's get to it and unleash the Space Kraken Counter 😂
A three-breasted woman? Douglas Adams or Total Recall Reference? 🤔
But best of all: a scented tree on the rear-view mirror! 😂😂😂
There are a lot of references in that video... Jimmy Neutron, Stargate, Total Recall, Star Wars, Independence Day, Men in Black, Mars Attacks, Cabbage Soup, Star Trek. And I probably missed some...
Great video. I hadn’t watched any reaction video for spaceman as I was waiting for yours! Really enjoyed it and thanks for pointing me in the direction of EC! If you’re wanting something new to look for, have you heard of Clutch? The singer has a very bluesy voice set against heavy rock. I would recommend Electric Worry for a good one. They seem to have a live version at download which doesn’t even sound live but it’s got to be given it’s not a replica of the album version.
I can hear Elizabeth's giggles already.
Great reaction, very interesting choice! I'd love to hear a reaction to Dimmu Borgir, personally. Hybrid Stigmata or Indoctrination would be a lot of fun. Keep up the great content! #spoiledbymetal
Elizabeth still has to react to the one and only LEMMY KILMISTER!!!!!!
I think it more than about time for it.
Lemmy Kilmister and Motörhead are simply too great to not to.
Motörhead are the band that made double bass drums play a thing.
They are the main influence for ALL the harder styles of metal.
Lemmy Kilmister was the guitar teacher of Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols.
Motrhead basically alone kept the Sex and Drugs in Rock 'n Roll.
Lemmy was a roadie for Jimmy Hendricks.
He also wrote the Lyrics for Ozzy Osbournes "Mama,I'm coming home".
Metallica even wrotea song about his bass amp, called "Murder one", the song and Lemmy's amp.
And there is a joke: If there was a fistfight between god and Lemmy, who would win?
Lemmy is god so it is a trick question.
It's ab out time too. The 30th anniversary versxion of Hellraiser came out recently ua-cam.com/video/zw79RVnlCb0/v-deo.html
Lemmy actually tried to teach Sid Vicious of Sex Pistols how to play bass but soon realised it was impossible. Also it's Jimi Hendrix. But overall I agree there should be a reaction to Motorhead
I just want to see her freak out over Lemmy's voice ^^
Yes! And it should be song from the early eighties
Oh yeah, that will be fun!
This reminds me it's been quite a while since you've reacted to Nanowar of Steel. Might I recommend Polenta Taragnarock? :)
I am absolutely stoked to see them in October! The moment I found out about the American tour (Thank you, Tank) I was on Ticketmaster with no regard for the price. It was a "there is no not-going" moment!
I have tickets for November! Can’t wait!
5:39 "Fred vom Jupiter" refers to the song from 1981, and was actually created during a school project week. It became, despite of (or exactly because) its simplicity one of the classics of the "Neue Deutsche Welle", which were mostly funny and sometimes silly songs, but hey, long live the 80s! Still today well known!
As someone already submitted lyrics, I'm gonna go ahead and do some on the fly translation (and adding in the explanation of the refference if I know it off the top of my head)
1st verse:
FiNCHi Gagarin, dreh die Boxen doch ma' auf / FiNCHi Gagarin ( ref. to: Yuri Gagarin, russian cosmonaut), turn it up ('boxen' is slang for speakers so it's about increasing the volume)
Gestern noch im Trockenbau, heute bin ich Kosmonaut (Wouh) / Yesterday still in drywall (this is meant as a drywall constructor) today I'm a cosmonaut.
Jaja, jeder kann sie seh’n, da am Himmel, weiße Streifen (Da oben) / Yes-yes, everybody can see 'em, up in the sky, white stripes (ref. to chemtrails)
Wer braucht von euch noch Beweise? Ja, die Erde ist 'ne Scheibe / Whom of you still needs proof? Yea, the earth is flat.
2nd verse:
Fred vom Jupiter (Yeah) steht vorm Supermarkt (Aha) / Fred from Jupiter (german pop song by Andreas Dorau from 1981) stands in front of the super market
Dreht die Boombox an und geht zu Scooter ab (Bamm-bamm-bamm) / turn up the boombox (a type of mobile speakers) and pops off to Scooter
(Scooter is a german EDM band. Also; the entire image of someone with a 'boombox' in front of a supermarket blasting too loud music and just having his own little party is a reference to german ghetto / slums area)
Klau' mir sein Raumschiff, fliege hoch Richtung Mars / Stealin' his spaceship, flying off to mars.
(Blblblblblb, hier sind die Kohlköpfe, ja) / Blblblblblb, here are the cabbage heads, yea. ( Blblblblblb is ref. to Chum drum bedrum (( /watch?v=tVj0ZTS4WF4 )) and the cabbage heads are from 'Cabbage Soup' a comedic movie featuring Luis de Funes
3rd verse:
Wo sind die Jedi-Ritter? / Where are the jedi knights? (Star Wars ref.)
Wo sind die Marsmenschen? / Where are the Marsians ? (Mars Attacks)
Wo sind die Klingon’n? / Where are the klingons? (Star Trek)
Mach's wie mit meiner Ex, ich schieß' euch alle auf den Mond / Treat you like my ex, shoot you all up to the moon ('to shoot somebody to the moon' is a proverb for a harsh break up)
An 'ne Leberwurst geschnallt fliegt die Kebekus durchs All / Kebekus flies through space strapped to a liver sausage (I switched the sentence here to have it make more sense in the translation.
Carolin Kebekus is a German comedienne/singer. She's... sometimes annoying. Liver sausage you may already know, It's what you eat for dinner. For breakfast. It's a staple piece.)
Immer weiter von uns weg, danke, Schwerelosigkeit! / further and further away, thanks, zero gravity
Undank (Yeah) ist der Weltenlohn / Ingratitude is the world's wage (proverb. something along the lines of 'Nothing is as hard as man's ingratitude' in terms of meaning.)
Hier kommt der Raketenmann, viva la Elton John / Here comes the rocketman, viva la Elton John (Rocketman - Elton John -> Spaceman - Electric Callboy, the scheme is obvious I'd say. *wink wink* )
I did this kinda on the fly, so anyone wanna add more if I forgot something, feel free to do so. Also correct any mistakes I made.
Greets from Germany :)
I don't particularly like Kebekus's comedy either, but her cover of Atemlos was definitely less annoying than the original.
I was soooo hyped for this just can get goood
Been waiting for this
If you want more harsh vocals that sound fun, I suggest Russkaja's "Energia"
Forza Viola
@@michael6253 Auf a guads Derby 👍
Super Channel. Es ist toll dir dabei zuzusehen wie du sehr du beim Musikhören strahlst.
You understood some of the German lines! Very good! 👍 Dresden is a beautiful city, I live in Leipzig, it's also in Saxony.
I'd love to see a reaction to "I Am Nothing" by Stabbing Westward. It's off their new album, that was their first in over 20 years. So much of my mid-90s music listening was them.
...and sadly, their lead singer Chris Hall now has throat cancer. His prognosis is good from their Facebook post.
New Genre : NerdCore 😂
The whole song is a huge nerd quiz: How many references can I put in 3 minutes 35 seconds? Answer : many, very many! 😁😁😁
There is an entire genre called Nerd Core that you can find on UA-cam. It’s all songs about anything remotely nerdy: cartoons, anime, sci-fi, video games, manga, comic books/movies, and all kinds of stuff. Half the fun in those songs is how many references they can make in them.
@@TO-hz9dr Wow, I didn't know... Thanks for the info! 😎👍
@@joergojschaefer3521 You are welcome! There is a lot of fun stuff to find!
Im from Germany and I've watched your videos for a long time now, but I never knew you had a personal attachment to germany and now that i know, you actually even lived here It kinda makes me proud in a way.
Thanks for being awesome. 🤩🥰
Love how much fun youre having jamming
Wtf, how can you know words like Trockenbau and Kohlköpfe from living in Germany for just one year?!
I was a bit confused by this too. But these words a Komposita. These are just two german nouns put togehter. So you must only know cabbage and head, dry and build. But she didnt get the meaning of the refferences. Absolutly understandable. I forgot about the de funes movie myself, although i realy liked it as a kid.
She lived in Dresden, which is in Saxonia.
We civilized people from the Golden West call the Saxons German hillbillies.(JK, don't freak out)
So of course after a year your vocabulary would include stuff like cabbage (soup).
Very much looking forward to this! Do you speak German at all? I've often wondered if opera singers have to understand what they're singing.
Meanwhile, fancy a challenge? This band is called Darko US and the song is Mars Attacks - live in studio. Did you have fun analysing Will Ramos? Then you'll love this. Vocalist is ex-Lorna Shore lead (No, not that one, an earlier one).
ua-cam.com/video/5oK8lXHK_y8/v-deo.html
She talks about exactly that during her analysis of the first verse...
@@BeOtterMyFriend oh cool. It's on my playlist. Haven't watched it yet.
Saw them live and it was amazing
Hey Elizabeth! Great stuff as always! I think you would really enjoy exploring the band Thank You Scientist - particularly their live performance of the song Anchor. They're an intriguing fusion of jazz and rock, and the song is lengthy so you could be satisfied after being spoiled by metal.
Elizabeth: "It doesnt make me feel like im being pulled down into the fiery..."
*Elizabeths Brain* DONT MAKE A D&D REFERENCE!
Elizabeth: "...underdark"
*EB* OH FOR LOLTHS SAKE!
Props to you for getting so much of the german lyrics.
This song is great in my opinion, but as with some other songs by them, the lyrics add another layer because some of them have alot of jokes or references to movies and stuff
Sidenote:
The green alien you were wondering about if it belongs to star wars: it does 100%. Although I am not sure we ever saw a green Twi'lek in the movies, they exist. Twi'leks are not blue in color only
7 months late here, but there was a green Twi'lek in the Original Trilogy. In Return of the Jedi she was locked up in Jabba's palace before getting eaten by the rancor xD
Omg you were in Dresden, how great!
Oola, one of the dancers in Jabba's palace on Tatooine, the one which falls through the trap door into the Rancor cave and gets eaten by the monster, she is actually green. But there are more dancers of different colors and species.
React to Mike Patton Please
I am totally going to get to Faith No More later this year. ;-)
Do i need to be a patreon in order to get a video reviewed?
Nope! Make a comment here in the comments section. The top 5 upvoted suggestions a few days after the video releases are tracked in our internal database!
@@TheCharismaticVoice oh ok thank you. Unfortunately I don’t think anyone will vote for my suggestions but it was worth a shot. Thank you for your content I really enjoy it
really impressed that you understood so many of the german since it's pretty fast in this song :)
Great now the song is going to be in my head all day.
What did you amazing woman just do to me! Isn’t it enough to explain so much about lyrics, ways of singing (sorry for the bad expression, 5:47 AM atm)? No, you just push it by telling your living in Germany for about one year but you rather understand the lyrics very well seemingly and put much research into it. I’m just done, more channels should impress like you do!
assumption about flat earth is correct
Yay! My German is still okay!
@@TheCharismaticVoice also, because he says scheibe = a disc it could as well be in reference to terry pratchetts discworld/scheibenwelt novels
Best. Thumbnail. Ever!
I really appreciate how nerdy this song is. I also really love how they change up the tempo and levels of distortion depending on who is singing.
The green gal is a Twilek from Star Wars and I'm pretty sure the hologram girl is a reference to Total Recall.
Next sunday i will see them LIVE! :D
You were just nerding about the star wars and star trek references and exactly the next few lines mentioned jedi knights and klingons. That was amazing.
Didn’t the opera singer in Fifth Element have hair like the green woman but was blue in the movie?
Love watching your genuine reactions and the love you have for every aspect of music. Even though I’m musically inept I find your videos refreshing. Thank You
That's what I was thinking.
Elizabeth has reacted to her, too.
Yeah, the Wunderbaum.🤣 Again a great reaction!😍🤘👍Blblblblblblblblb.🙂
Discovered your channel last night and have watched about 10 videos since then. Would really enjoy seeing your analysis on Hayley Williams/Paramore 😁.
Would love to see your reaction to Poets of the Fall's 'Jealous Gods', specifically the Alexander Theatre session! Been a fan of theirs for a little over a decade now, and Marko has some of the most soulful vocals I've ever heard. I really think you'd like them! Keep up the great content.
Hi! This channel is so informative and infectiously wholesome and I really really appreciate it. I’ve been trying to find a good request and think I’m gonna shoot for the song Constance by Spiritbox. If ya do, I would recommend the music video, just for the message to hit home…and their videos are really good. Warning it’s a tearjerker. But I think it worth :) wishing you and the folks who stop by a wonderful week. 🤘
Hi Disap_0intment, Elizabeth did a reaction to Spiritbox, "Rule of Nines," in March/2021. Here's a link to the video: ua-cam.com/video/hh0zqDWxj9A/v-deo.html And here is a link to Elizabeth's other reaction videos: ua-cam.com/users/TheCharismaticVoicevideos Enjoy!
The blblblblbl sound and the cabbagehead reference is connected to the amazing french comedian Louis de Funés and his movie "La soupe aux choux". Amazing childhood memories for me :)
Wait what?
If been watching your videos for a while now but I never knew you lived and worked in my city!? At the Semper Oper, I presume? Very cool!!
