This is a kick ass song from the Scorpions and when I was in high school and went to see them in KC MO I wondered why they never played this because of pressure from outside interests saying "It makes fun of a certain class of people " but if they listened to the words it's a song about seeing someone from s distance and guessing whether it was a man or a woman but as they came closer that wasn't the case"
the problem with the band is they are victims of their own success, too many hits and great songs overshadowing each other, and unfortunately only 15-16 songs only get played on stage!
Scorpions 🦂 are as influential in the German 🇩🇪 Hard Rock and Heavy Metal scene as Black Sabbath or Judas Priest were in Britain 🇬🇧. Scorpions 🦂 paved the way for other bands, all of whom cite the scorpions 🦂 as major influences. I’m a huge fan of German 🇩🇪 Metal and for me the Scorpions 🦂 are only of the best metal bands of all time.

@@gammad.4356 in 1977 Judas Priest was going in this direction, but not quite there I think. They matured into their musical aesthetics in 1978 IMO. But yeah, Scorpions aren't even British, they're German, so NWOGHM? lol
actually the show performance has better quality.I don't know what with all that corny extra footage. it is NOT a part of the video.(performance video) NOT Music video.
The origin story of this song is funny. Drummer Herman Rarebell has said in an interview that they got their inspiration from an interaction with transexual prostitutes in Paris. He had just joined the band, and they were finishing off the "Virgin Killer" tour of Europe. He said they were taking a ride through Paris and went through the red light district, saw some streetwalking girls and pulled over to say hello to them, to which one of them replied "we're not girls, we're boys". It was his first composition for Scorpions. Back then the understanding on gender and trans identity was different, even trans people made references to their old gender expression all the time. I remember on TV there were broadcasts of parties where there were many trans women, and many of them referenced what we now call "dead name" when introducing themselves, something like "My name is (dead name) , but at night I am (new name)". I think things are more respectful now, but yeah, we lost some of the edge and fun of things, I can agree with that.
Heavy metal!
this should have over 1 million views easy . seriously to many TODAY have no idea what real music is so sad .
I agree
Our time is over man
this is better then it was back then !!!
70's Scorpions kicked ass. 80s Scorpions not nearly so much. :(
scorpions super classic heavy metal song
This is so much better than the stuff they were making in the 80s.
Yea scorpions is one of those bands that turned to shit during the hair metal age for more publicity. They were a pure hardcore rock group in the 70s
Facts
After Animal Magnetism, they died . . . for me. I love so much better the old Scorpions.
But the albums animal magnetims from 1980 and blackout from 1982 are awsome after that they became more hair metal pop and tons of tired ballads.
@@dreamlifeds4412 dont forgot blackout from 1982 that album was fucking awsome dude but after that album they became shit.!
Prodigios de la música.
Gigantes del rock.
Great song from old school scorpions!!!!
Klaus Meine - one of the greatest metal singers ever. Old but still able to sing and kill gig after gig \m/
And then, Thrash Metal was born...
I think it was born three years earlier with "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen, released in November 1974.

Why did i never know how great scorpions were
Super 👍👍👍
He does look like Dio. The song sounds really good and I don't mind the video being enhanced and edited.
😂😂🤘
Rudolph Schenker and Matthias Jabs always look like they’re having a good time on stage! They’re fun to watch although Jabs joined later!
That is not Matthias Jabs .
Its Uly John Roth !
Matias joined in the early 80's
Matthias joined in ‘79

But Judas Priest was already NWOBHM?

+Gothic Drinker Great upload, tx.
he look like James Dio here 😄
not even close. just the hair
Klingt noch nach Deep Purple.
UFO🛸👾👽⁉️
They're likely to have predicted era of LGBT right here, heheh
It was written about inspiration and creative urges. They did not know that in 40 years they would have such listeners.
Only way for this to sound better is if they replaced zildian cymbals with Paiste
This song is so politically incorrect. They should have been ashamed of themselves 50 years ago for not being PC in a world 50 years in the future.
Claus is singing about herself!
Shut the f u ck up and enjoy
