@Lostpoet For some reason I thought this song was supposed to be in english.

Lostpoet · M

@Dan193 There is a cover version of it in english.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@Lostpoet Oh, probably that's why.

@Burnley123 I don't know. I feel like I've heard the english version before in movies.

Burnley123 · 41-45, M

@Dan193 Both versions are by Nina. Most Germans can speak English. Some European songs can't translate and keep the tune but this one can.

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@Burnley123 I understand.

@Burnley123 Thanks for BA. :-)

@Burnley123 [Dan193] Around the same time, a German named Falco who also made an English version of a song. Not sure which one this is. He also had Rock Me Amadeus, one of the great stupid songs of all time.

@Burnley123 That is freakin' hysterical.

@SW-User I remember it at the time. Even by Eurovision standards it was ridiculous but its so fucking funny. I posted a question on this cos its gold. 🤣

Dan193 · 31-35, M

@Burnley123 Yeah, me too. I actually liked the song. I remember watching that.
