Think about: in Germany, most radio stations play 90% English music or even more. So we are used to listen to music we don't completely understand. It takes a few years at school until you vaguely know the meaning of the lyrics, and even as an adult, you don't translate all the time. Still enjoy and love all that stuff by just listening.

[@forgemastermetal]

Same. We love plenty of music in native non-English languages. It was a minor comment for this kind of poppy / simple composition. We still enjoy the song.

[@minastaros]

@@forgemastermetal good on you, guys, keep going! And a great reaction video.

[@johncrwarner]

As an English speaker in Germany the music radio channels irritate me as I want to hear German to improve my German especially the vocabulary of things that aren't in the textbook.

[@nobodynemoq]

Great reaction, thanks! You really went deep into analysing it 😊 As for the German part: I agree it's a bit confusing and might derail focus for non-German speaking audience, they should have put some subtitles. However, I think that German rap was perfect here: it is really special and sounds waaay different than typical English rap, I really appreciate that choice (yes, it's easier for me since I've learned German). Could you do reactions to their other hits, like "Pump It", "We Got the Moves" or "Hypa Hypa"? 😊 Have a great day!❤

[@nikkirose1719]

I'm English and I love that they've added German lyrics! I do understand some German, so maybe that helps 🤷. I find it's a good way of learning a bit more 😁. My son also thinks it's a great song as it is, he's not put off by words he doesn't understand 😊

[@forgemastermetal]

Your son must have a blast with this tune! 😊

schöne grüße aus Deutschland

[@Moleman0815]

I did a little translation for the german (Mainly Finch's) parts of that song - hope you like it. :) FiNCHi Gagarin, dreh die Boxen doch ma' auf Gestern noch im Trockenbau, heute bin ich Kosmonaut (Wouh) Jaja, jeder kann sie seh’n, da am Himmel, weiße Streifen (Da oben) Wer braucht von euch noch Beweise? Ja, die Erde ist 'ne Scheibe --- Finchi Gagarin (reference to Yuri Gagarin, first man in space), turn the speakers on Yesterday on a drywall construction, today im a cosmonaut Yeah yeah, everyone can see them, white stripes on the sky (reference to chemtrails) Do you need another proof? The earth is flat --- Fred vom Jupiter (Yeah) steht vorm Supermarkt (Aha) Dreht die Boombox an und geht zu Scooter ab (Bamm-bamm-bamm) Klau' mir sein Raumschiff, fliege hoch Richtung Mars (Blblblblblb, hier sind die Kohlköpfe, ja) --- Fred from Jupiter (Famous 80th song in germany) standing in front of a supermarket Turning on the boombox and party on Scooter (Germany Techno band) I'm grabbing his Spaceship, and flying to mars blrlrblbl, here are the cabbage heads (reference to a famouse Louise de Funes Film - Cabbage soup) --- Wo sind die Jedi-Ritter? Wo sind die Marsmenschen? Wo sind die Klingon’n? 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! Undank (Yeah) ist der Weltenlohn Hier kommt der Raketenmann, viva la Elton John --- Where are the Jedi Knights? Where are the Martians? Where are the Klingons? I'll do it like with my Ex, i put you to the moon. Bound to a liversausage, Kebekus (famouse german comedian and singer) is flying through the space Further away from us, thanks to the weightlessness Ingratitude (Yeah) is the world's reward Here comes the Rocketman, viva la Elton John (obviously, because he is the original Rocketman ;) ) (And no, the part with Kebekus beeing tied to a Liversausages doesn't makes sense to us germans as well :D )

[@forgemastermetal]

This is tremendously helpful! Thank you for taking the time and the breakdown :)

[@uchijini]

Das mit der Leberwurst ist hiermit zu erklären: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r53ZqYOiqL9srMk Sorry for german :)

[@Moleman0815]

@@uchijini thx i didn't knew this one. Beside i love Kebekus and Leberwurst (feine, geräucherte, kölner Leberwurst is the best :D )

[@eilidhwatson8406]

brilliant!! thank you for this! I listened to a lot of scooter back in the day! scooooooooter lol

[@dkmcbigsley]

My favorite bit is the rearview mirror in the spaceship (including the pine tree air freshener)

[@johncrwarner]

Finch's delivery of his rap is very fast and I am afraid I did have to pull up the lyrics to understand the German and to confirm some of the stuff I did hear dry stone walling in the lyrics LOL In the video I loved the minor thing like the rear view mirror with a Wunderbaum car deodoriser hanging down. There were things that appear for fleeting seconds that evidently were painstakingly made Did Kami Zero do the costumes and props? I figured as they come from the Ruhr I wondered which spoil heap or quarry they did the band shots in and I heard a wonderful comment to the effect there have been men have gone into space men have gone to the Moon but they went to Bottrop (another town in the Ruhr which is Germany's rustbelt)

[@BadMoonHorrors]

Having that amount of German lyrics (and without captions), while being well aware of the YT reaction scene being 95.9% non German speakers is probably their way of trying to regain their status of "We don't care what anyone thinks" which they partly lost with the name change.

[@forgemastermetal]

That's a solid take.

[@enferex]

Well that was an interesting video. Again, I value the pro analysis here. I'm not so sure they are on Mars. I spotted two suns at 1:08. Definitely has a nice waza-esque tone on the guitars. Fun song, fun video, good music!

[@forgemastermetal]

Good catch on the double suns!!

[@dadrumer]

Great React. You definitely deserve more views! I guess if they would have put english subtitles in the video everyone could have seen, that the lyrics are wildly nonsensical. The whole song ist based around that catchy chorus without a lot of lyrics to back that up. :)

[@forgemastermetal]

Thanks for your comment!

[@aka_Tatjana]

I know I am late to the party but I have been enjoying your videos and thought I'd jump in your comments section. Basically every single verse in this song contains a reference to some space-related pop culture item (movies, songs, comedy sketches etc.) Tank the Tech and his followers dissected the entire song in one of his Twitch streams if you want to check it out. That's probably the reason why the lyrics are in German - I mean, my English is decent, but I couldn't have done that in English, either :)

[@forgemastermetal]

Thanks for the insight!! It's really cool to see other people doing a deeper dive into the lyrics and themes.

[@MrRonay1]

To be honest I get what you’re saying about the lyrics being in German, but I think theses guys get a lot of influence from 90’s dance and that was a big thing in Europe at the time and it wasn’t that weird that some lyrics wouldn’t be in English so I think it’s just the case that it feels more normal for the uk and Europe because we’ve had that type of thing already

[@forgemastermetal]

That makes sense!

[@Dethleffff]

The thing is that the german lyrics are pureley memes and references to german culture, conspiracy theories, liver sausage and other crazy stuff. It doesn't make a lot of sense so you don't really miss a lot :D

[@Dosenpruegel]

VIVA LA ELTON JOHN

[@forgemastermetal]

GOD OF DANCE MELODIES

[@MadMike1]

This gives me Rammstein - Amerika vibes. Right down to the spacey video and the German verse/English chorus dynamic.

[@forgemastermetal]

Totally agree - even reminded me of Powerman 5000 with the riffing

[@Cuzjudd]

I butter the bread with butter is similar

[@forgemastermetal]

Yep!

[@volkankaya1557]

Please electric callboy we got the moves as well. Because there is a moment i find absolutly awesome but no one ever mentions that one part in the reaction videos ive seen. I want to see if you guys will comment to it or skip it as well.

[@forgemastermetal]

We might get to that one. Typically we do music that is trending and that has kind of come and gone as far as that goes.

[@theHoptimist383]

Earworms for weeks. 🤯send help please.

[@forgemastermetal]

Hahaha yep definitely some ear worms!

[@Joshhomme8613]

You would call them a "gimmick band?" Are you guys native English speakers? Just curious

[@forgemastermetal]

We said we don’t want to call them that lol
