Apoclyptica - Seemann Reaction - PopCulture Reacts

Back to a viewer suggestion. A cover of a Rammstein song we have previously reacted to as well. Apocalyptica and Nina Hagen do a version of Seemann. I loved the track the first time so does this cover hit as well. Does our resident Rammstein fan Lacey love this? Tune in to find out.
Let us know what you thought of the song in the comments.

Her own stuff was and maybe still is mind blowing. She is definitely one of a kind.

[@PopCultureProductions]

This cover and people in the comments have piqued my interest enough to go and seek more of her music out. Thanks for the heads up and thanks for the view. It is appreciated. Any song in particular that you would suggest as the first one to hit up.

@@PopCultureProductions The 1st two lps are mostly in German but don't let that put you off as they are the punkier ones.

[@PopCultureProductions]

@@SPKdesign1 I'm a believer. Got another video coming soon and i am sure we will have many more.

[@TheIAmThat]

I thought it was so funny when you said, “I wonder what her normal stuff sounds like”. As far as I can remember I think she has never done anything “normal.” It was always a class of her own.

[@PopCultureProductions]

Sounds like my kind of artist. Going to add her to the list to React to more. Any particular songs you would suggest going to first? Also thanks for the view and comment. They are hugely appreciated.

@@PopCultureProductions As a very big Nina Hagen Fan I would recommend all of the stuff she did in the 70s with her old band, very interesting stuff, kind of progressive punk if there's anything like that. There is a whole concert from the Nina Hagen Band on KZbin from Rockpalast in 1978... Anything from that would be a recommendation. Especially Naturträne, Aufm Bahnhof Zoo, TV Glotzer, Spinner and Unbeschreiblich Weiblich, but yeah literally anything from that concert...

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Wonderful. Can't tell you how many times I've watched it.

[@PopCultureProductions]

My love of string instruments really helped for me as well. The last 5 years I have become more and more drawn to violins, cellos etc.

[@anttiypya8264]

This one is pure fire!🔥🔥🔥 I love it, Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

[@PopCultureProductions]

Pleased to have you. Hopefully you will stick around as we go around as much music as we can to find great songs to add to our lives.

[@katekavanagh8903]

Greetings Antti, 💖how is the land of Fin ??

[@katekavanagh8903]

Nobody adds these two baffoons but it’s fun watching the way they are embracing the music of Europe

[@katekavanagh8903]

Sorry my mistake. They have many subscribers but it’s sad that not many of the people who like their efforts actually are hardcore PopCulture people… I may be the only one

[@larryc3860]

"Time stands still and I am cold".......Seemann ( "Sailor" ) .......Nina is a unique performer/artist/vocalist who, even though I speak only a little German, captures the eyes, ears and soul of this viewer........'"Der beste Seemann war doch ich......." btw, Apocalyptica has performed on stage with Till and Rammstein

[@PopCultureProductions]

I love the original and the fact that it led me to then discover Nina just reinforces that.

[@BadMoonHorrors]

To use the word "normal" in regards to anything Nina Hagen related is quite funny to me. By the way, she played the evil stepmom in two "7 Dwarfs" slapstick comedy movies in which her daughter played Snow White. Apocalyptica had worked with Till Lindemann too.

[@Lacey555666]

i have the album with them and till doing 'heroes' which is a utter banger, thanks for the watch

[@PopCultureProductions]

I'm keen to hear more and now I know we have a movie or 2 to watch, another huge passion of mine, I am very excited. Any particular songs you would recommend reacting to first?

[@PPfilmemacher]

@@PopCultureProductions Unfortunately, these two films are only in German

[@PopCultureProductions]

Hopefully i will be able to track down a version with subtitles.

[@blackblossomjojo4599]

@@PopCultureProductions I think there's also a dubbed version, where she dubs herself in english

[@tosa2522]

Still the best cover of a Rammstein song. Great job Nina!

[@PopCultureProductions]

Hoping to jump into more covers along the way as I am always interested in what people do to vary the song from the original. Give us a shout if you have any other covers you think are worth reacting to.

[@tosa2522]

@@PopCultureProductions check out Ohne Dich (unplugged) by Die Toten Hosen.

[@PopCultureProductions]

Added to the list and we will get to it as soon as possible. Thanks very much.

[@katekavanagh8903]

Awesome review chaps… PopCulture reacts rules 🎭🫶🥳🥰

[@PopCultureProductions]

Ta very much. really liked the cover.

[@patricegraziano2303]

You pronounced my name almost perfectly, and it's not that simple (first name French, last name Italian). I didn't remember that I made this recommendation to you, and I'm a little shocked to hear it here ;-) Nice reaction by the way. Till's and Nina's voices match the vibe of the song so good. In that case the vibe of the song has a lot to do with the german language and poetry of Till...

[@PopCultureProductions]

So glad I didn't butcher the pronunciation. We are recording episodes at such a rapid pace that we may have to up the releases soon so people don't forget they have asked for songs. As ever your support is hugely appreciated.

[@markusvonderschauenburger5843]

Hi Patrice! I also didn't remember that I recommended this song and was surprised to hear my name but yes, I really like this Rammstein cover. Greetings from Germany.

[@rudolfg.7041]

Germany Punk Lady .Großartig.

[@PopCultureProductions]

I'm thinking we need to go deeper into her work. Any pointers to the best starting points to her career? Also thanks for the view and comment.

[@PPfilmemacher]

@@PopCultureProductions Her biggest hit was „Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" (translation: You Forgot The Colour Film) is a pop single written by Michael Heubach (music) and Kurt Demmler (lyrics). It was first performed by East German (GDR) punk artist and trained opera singer Nina Hagen and her band Automobil (of which Heubach was the keyboardist), released in 1974 prior to Hagen's punk career. The song depicts a young girl scolding her boyfriend for forgetting to bring the colour film for their camera while on vacation. The song reached the top places of the East German music charts in 1974, and 40th place in the 1975 full-year charts. Though not censored by the state, the song was widely interpreted at the time as criticism of the drab and grey life prevalent in East Germany and the rest of the Eastern Bloc; this double meaning seen in the comical words of the song was apparently well-understood by both the general population and the Politbüro elites. Two years later, she left the GDR with her mother, Eva-Maria Hagen, after Eva-Maria's former partner, Wolf Biermann (a East German satiric political singer and songwriter), had been stripped of his GDR citizenship while on tour in West Germany. Eva-Maria joined the protest against this decision, and was also deprived of her citizenship. In 2003, it was reported that around 40 percent of East Germans could sing the song's lyrics.

[@PopCultureProductions]

That is some amazing history for her and the song. I love the idea that a song captures that much of a public consciousness.

[@rudolfbart]

think she sang that as she was 65?

[@PopCultureProductions]

It's amazing that i am only finding out about her existence at 65. Thanks for the facts and I hope you enjoyed the video.

[@nomi.hagen.]

She was 48 in 2003...

[@karl-heinzjanen1546]

Very nice

[@PopCultureProductions]

Especially musically. I thought the move to orchestral string instruments really worked. Thanks for the watch and let us know if you have any songs you would like us to react to. Any genre and any artist as Lacey and I are down for anything.

[@corinna007]

Apocalyptica 🤘❤️

[@PopCultureProductions]

I'm pretty sure we will be back for more Apocolyptica in the future as they did a great job with a song I already love. The best bit was hearing the original for the first time doing this.

[@oldmanjimh3165]

Nina is one of a kind!!!!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fqOznmCKdtSFgq8

[@PopCultureProductions]

Thanks for the link. We will react to it in the the not to distant future although we do have a lovely large backlog now of things to react to that you lovely people have suggested for us.

[@ZebSound]

Its not Nina Heygen. The a is spelled like in "half" :D H a g e n

[@PopCultureProductions]

Thanks for the heads up. Will do my best to remember this when we get back to more of her work.

[@AP-RSI]

This is really a great cover!

[@PopCultureProductions]

Spot on. Started us on the path of Nina as you well know. One of the many things I am thankful for starting this channel.
