Feuerschwanz is pronounced foy-air-shvantz. Seeed is a Germany based, multi national dancehall/ reggae/ hip hop group, "Ding" was a big hit in the German speaking areas in 2006 (the part Meliisa took in the cover is English in the original too). Melissa is from the French speaking part of Switzerland, so she didn't knew about Feuerschwanz or Ding when they asked her if she would be interested in participating but after a quick research she happily accepted. Some people say she stole the show here but nobody can ever convince me that Feuerschwanz didn't exactly knew what they were doing. This collaboration ultimately led to the founding of The Dark Side Of The Moon after Melissa lost a bet against guitarist Hans der Aufrechte (Hans the Upright, real name Hans Platz). TDSOTM consists of Melissa on vocals, Hans on guitar, harpist Jenny Diehl (the red haired one of Feuerschwanz's two dancers/ stage & video performers, stage name Mieze Myu [Kitty Myow]) and Melissa's then boyfriend, now husband Morten Løwe Sørensen on drums (his main band is the melodic death metal/ symphonic metalcore group Amaranthe). The song teased at the end of Berzerkermode is titled "Bastard von Asgard", feat. Fabienne Erni (from the Swiss folk metal/ melodic death metal band Eluveitie). It's about Fenrir aka the Fenriswolf, a creature from the Norse mythology.

I saw Feuerschwanz live back in May and they have no right to be this hilarious. The lyrics of "Ding" make it even funnier, it's a song about a dude who is going out clubbing, leaving his wife at home, and flirting with other women but ultimately passing out drunk (if I understand them correctly, but they seem pretty uncomplicated). The original was apparently a huge hit in Germany a few years before I ended up moving here. Melissa Bonny is one of the most interesting metal vocalists to watch right now, I'm not a huge fan of the new Ad Infinitum material - it's very poppy - but check out Upside Down or Animals.

And here we are again, four months later. I'm glad that you're keeping your promise, I'm sure most of the others would have forgotten it long ago. You still have the really strong Feuerschwanz songs ahead of you and most of them are not covers... I'm thinking of songs like Bastard of Asgard, Wardwarf, Untod im Drachenboot, Knochenkarussel, Highlander, Metfest or Das elfte Gebot... and so many more. The new album “Warriors” contains many classics re-recorded in English. By the way, Melissa Bonny and her band Ad Infinitum are another Rabbit hole that's hard to get out of. Songs like Somewhere better, Upside down, From the Ashes or Eternal rain I could listen to on an endless loop some days.

Melissa Bonny is a Swiss singer from the french speaking part of Switzerland, but no worries, she is alos really fluent in English and even German. This OVER talented singer is not only extremely cute but a hard working person: She was featured in many bands as Warkings, Feuerschwanz, Mortemia,(and so on).. but most of all has her bands : Ad Infinitum and tthe dark side of the moon.. I saw one interview with ; she was always smiling and sweet and had some sense of humour. Really one great person, not only a great singer. I hope this give you an idea of who she is.

Got some translation of the lyrics for the Song: Ding (Thing) Alright, today I'm in a pretty good mood I'm dressed up, put on a hat The Rolex is ticking, man, I look good Get the thrill I absolutely need Yeah, again a solo ride In this poser outfit, I get myself comfortable Getting ready, smoke sh*t Where are the chicks with poser neckline? (I} come into the club and enjoy the view This chick is nice and this one as well I sing a hook which makes any of them going crazy My wife's gonna give me an odd look if she finds out Doesn't matter, I need to go to town from time to time I'm not a househusband, I really need a drink which is worth it I move to the bar and chat up a woman Seven Mochitos for the lady and me All of a sudden I enjoy each and every song I even dance to a song by Placebo I'm drunk and the lady's drunk as well Oohoohoo, you pretty thing I hide my wedding ring Ding dong, we could get at it But we’re just sippin’ on our drink You are Queen and I am King When I see you I have to sing: "Tingalingaling, you pretty thing" We're drunk, we're horney (literally: pointed) My wife's at home with the kids At the moment I fight The wish which everyone can see Flashing up in my eyes Hey man, what a cool chick She says: let it out And she's fired up to get on it I've got to buy some time Keep ordering more drinks, She's not my kind That's what I try to convince myself of Ridiculous! I'm gonna get drunk Bartender, get me some more Of what's in the barrels I'll drink it all because it makes me forget: My thoughts are obsessed with sex She wants to see the man taking the lead But I'm drunk, I squint at her, A moment later my head lies next to the toilet I'd never have bet That puking would save my marriage Oohoohoo, you pretty thing I hide my wedding ring Ding dong, we could get at it We’re just sippin’ on our drink You are Queen and I am King When I see you I have to sing: "Tingalingaling, you pretty thing" Oh See that burning body (hot) Those boobs in a naughty (Top) Red lips so juicy, (oh God) In the middle of your web, please don't stop Take my brain turn it off Don't feel shame, don't feel love More champagne for our game It's insane but it's aaah Do you wanna ruin my life? Say what! You wanna tell my wife? Please stop! Things are getting real tight, I never thought You'd set me up! All I wanted was a body for delight, „let's get naughty“ You said, right? Now you say you love me day and night! Who's gonna save me from this fright? Oohoohoo, you pretty thing I hide my wedding ring Ding dong, we could get at it We’re just sippin’ on our drink Oohoohoo, you pretty thing You are Queen and I am King When I see you I have to sing: "Tingalingaling, you pretty thing" Oohoohoo Oohoohoo Oohoohoo Oohoohoo...

I can give you a few tiny facts about some of the other people in the Ding clip .. the blue haired girl is Svenja Metzner (Momo) She is married to lead singer Ben. She is an incredible photographer and helps make their costumes. (She has an etsy store with awesome items she hand makes) The dark red haired girl and short blonde girl are her 2 best friends. Jimmy and Santifun 🖤💙 There is a bald guy, he was their former drummer, Sir Lanzeflott, from 2005 -2021. When he left, Rollo, arrived and took over and is currently doing a superb job 🔥 If you like Melissa and Feuerschwanz together .. look up their cover of Manowar's 'Warriors of the World'. 13M views and counting !!! That also features Alea, lead singer of Saltatio Mortis (LOOK THEM UP) and Thomas Winkler (ex Gloryhammer member Angus McFife, Angus McSix) ❤🔥🔥🤘 Edit: Oh and it was filmed at a LARP venue in Wagenfeld, Germany. It's called Larpdorf Bogenwald & Leto's Taverne. They have filmed quite a few things there as well as other German bands too.

They're a lot of fun

Before you talk to these guys, you should learn how to pronounce Feuerschwanz. Here's a clue - it's not "fewer-shwanz". IIUC, Melissa Bonny, at the time of this collaboration, had recently left the band Rage of Light. I don't know if this was before or after she started her own band, Ad Infinitum. You should check out both bands. They're awesome. Rage of Light did some crazy covers, as well as having some of their own material. For example, they covered Aqua's Candyman and Lady Gaga's Judas.
