Brit Reacts to Die Prinzen - Alles nur geklaut (Offizielles Musikvideo)

[@katarinavomdach]

The song title means "It's all just stolen" .. So ALL the video sequences are references, copying famous music videos. The whole song is "copy-culture" critic. .. and yes! They love all the music and videos they refer to.

[@avi.chan23]

You need to know, that the band members of this Band were all in the Thomaner Chor, the most famous Boys choir in Germany with ITS own school, founded roughly 800 years ago.. so they basically learned to harmonize. The song is from the early 90s, I grew up with it

[@summersun6536]

Just a quick correction: Jens Sembner was part of the "Dresdner Kreuzchor," which is as well-known as the Thomanerchor (actually, it's more internationally renowned during times of GRD). Both boys' choirs have a tradition of over 800 years, making them two of the oldest choirs in the world. However, there's no real competition between them. Every year, the choirs play a traditional soccer game against each other and celebrate together afterwards.

[@avi.chan23]

@summersun6536 that's right, thanks for the addition 😊

[@klarasee806]

If you are interested in "weird" German music culture: Neue Deutsche Welle (New German Wave) or short: NDW. It was really a new wave that rolled over Germany. DAF, Trio, Nena, Extrabreit, Spider Murphy Gang, Hubert Kah, Fräulein Menke, Peter Schilling, Fehlfarben, Joachim Witt, Geier Sturzflug, UKW,… the list goes on. The origins lie in British punk / new wave music, but a very unique style quickly developed. What was particularly interesting was that the songs were sung in German. At that time there were only German hits for the older generation, and young people only listened to English-language music. The New German Wave discovered the German language for itself and actually revolutionized the German music world. It was a very, very creative, crazy, fun and freeing time. Some songs also became very popular in the English-speaking world and you probably know them too: Nena's "99 Luftballons" ("99 Red Balloons"), for example. Falco ("Amadeus") can also be counted among them, even though he was Austrian. Peter Schilling's "Major Tom" was also internationally known, as was Trio's "Da Da Da".

Yep, Falco is a great artist! Would love to see a reaction to "Jeanny (Part 1)"!

[@arno_nuehm_1]

well, not high german... 😂

[@Moonchild0]

Also he is not a rapper, but a singer. He is the first German speaking artist that made it in the US Charts with "Rock Me Amadeus". Not only that, but he landed at the first place. He is also one of the first artist that mixed German with English ("Der Kommissar", "Vienna Calling", "Rock Me Amadeus"). Against what first poster said, he doesn't (only) sing in High German (standard german) but viennese dialect- and sometimes mix it too. - Greetings from Austria

[@schallundrauch2378]

@@Moonchild0 I take it you're saying with german lyircs? Out of curiosity, I looked up german musicians in the US-Charts. The first one with german lyrics might be Kraftwerk - Autobahn. Not too much lyrics, though. :-)

[@Moonchild0]

@@schallundrauch2378 I meant generall Falco music, but in particular "Rock Me Amadeus". There are two versions of it. The original is written in German, the 8-minute long version appeared on the US release from Falco 3 album. No other German song (again referring to the song "Rock Me Amadeus") has topped the US charts, yet alone made it first place. At that time it was something unheard from.

[@Diskutierholz]

Fun Fact ... the "singer" (blond hair) in this video usually does just backing vocals - and the "ginger head" is the original front vocal singer - so you are completely right, he should have more lines than just "Eh-oh"

They’re all Thomaner Chor students (a boarding school for the Johann Sebastian Bach-focused Thomaner choir for boys). So, they have learned their profession and harmonizing since childhood and, after school, took their art to pop music…

[@summersun6536]

They indeed started their career under the name "Herzbuben" ("Jack of hearts") in the late 1980s in GDR, and gained some popularity since their style was fresh and uncommon (and somehow politically critical, too). After the German reunion they changed the name to "Die Prinzen" ("The Princes") since they did not want to be confused with the Bavarian folk music duo "Die Wildecker Herzbuben".

[@JohnHazelwood58]

This was the known pop-version! An accapella version and a rock version is avaible, too. These guys are professionally trained chor singers, who did this just for fun, but went through the roof in the 90s ... they are still making music and are very into LGBT as some of them are gay. Love their music and work since their breakthrough song "Küssen verboten" in 1992. *kiss

​@@juwen7908none of them, but they are very open minded. The whole band, but in particular front singen Sebastian Krumbiegel (the red head) are pretty political, socially critical, and fight for democracy and human rights. It shows in songs like "Du musst ein Arschloch sein" or "Bombe".

[@TobiasKrasinger]

I thought you would recognize what they did after the lyrics, but you didn't. The "stole" a lot of videos and wrote a song about stealing songs. But obviously you only recognized queen and not all the others. Sledgehammer and Genesis are iconic. Thats a must to know.

Hey, Dwayne, really good reaction! I'm loving your positivity and cheerfulness which is really nice and soothing in the raging chaos that is the internet😂 I believe, in your last Peter Fox reaction, you were asking about rappers that are on-par with him. There is one that I would say matches his profoundness, creativity and style: Alligatoah. Really worth checking him out! In contrast to Peter Fox, his focus is social criticism rather than more personal topics. But his lyrics really are genious. I fear, some might even get lost in translation for you but I think you should try it😊 Two of his best and most popular songs are (imo): 1. Willst du 2. Nachbeben I think you'd love them too😊

[@mandyseifert6355]

There is another version from J.B.O. And it was funny to hear that after so long not hearing the original. Love both.

[@TheTillia]

Have you noticed that there's absolutely no instrument playing, except percussion/drums? It's only the guys' voices singing.

[@lommelbommel]

The music of my childhood, I love it! Nearly all of them had a classical music education. They went to really famous boy choirs, so they are really good at singing acapella. These acapella thing and the humor is what makes their music so iconic. There is so much more of them and everything is funny as hell.

[@BrowserXL]

Die Prinzen used to be singer in a childrens choir and from there they started out as an acapella band. They have some serious skills there. This is one of their later works, where they are drifting more towards mainstream pop music. Songs like "Gabi and Klaus" or "Fahrrad" show their true potential a lot more. So you might want to look at that as well ;) German music videos tend either to be plain boring or get down some very creative and witty visual works ... either of art or hillarious absurdity (maybe to prove germans have humor after all ;)). Some that fit into that category are: Die Ärzte - "Männer sind Schweine", "Manchmal haben Frauen" or "Yoko Ono" Knorkator - "Buchstabe", "tut uns leid" or "Weg nach unten" Rammstein - "Deutschland", "Keine Lust" or "Amerika" Deichkind - "Keine Party", "Immer gerade aus" or "wer sagt denn das?" (you already had a look at Deichkind, but missed these gems ;))

Klauen is a colloquial for stealing, so I would also use a coll. for translation. "It is all nicked" is a better translation in my opinion.

[@hacki1337]

Actually songs today are so short because of streaming platforms like spotify, which only count a song as played after it's been listened to for a set % of the song. But there is also a 'shortest time' for something to be counted as a song. And those two things combined make about 2:30 a sweetspot for a song.
