Merkel wanted the Bundeswehr band play the song "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" (song by / formerly sung by Nina Hagen) as her farewell song at the end of her term in office.

[@DenUitvreter]

An interesting choice, because Hagen was still an East-German singer back then and only could make a single with the state's approval. The song is said to, under the surface, to complain about things like colour film being hard to get, and the communist government taking colour out of life. Merkel of course grew up in the DDR too, but didn't move to West-Germany like Hagen.

[@prometheus4993]

​@@DenUitvreter why Merkel didnt move to west germany? ) ... look and search, perhaps differentt decade??? whats the reason Hagen could and Merkel not?

[@DenUitvreter]

@@prometheus4993 They are about the same age but most DDR-citizens were not allowed to move out. I don't remember why and how Hagen became to be an exception very well, but she was. With it's government approved hoom pah pah music and already very punky voice of Nina Hagen it became a very popular song in the DDR. A breath of fresh air for a young Merkel too.

[@stefanmeier235]

She left the GDR because her stepfather Wolf Biermann was expatriated and wasn't allowed to return after a concert tour in West Germany iirc.

[@jaydoubleju]

​@@prometheus4993 At this time Merkel was just an normal woman who studies physics. Hagen was an Artist with a lot of Range. If normal people became critic to the state, the state put them to jail. If artists became critical, the state kicked them out.

[@donkfail1]

As a 50+ years old former punk rocker, she's one of my heroes. When even the punk community looked at her and thought "WTF?!" sometimes tells you how far out she could be. And you were right; she's crazy in the good way! And always honest and never shuts up to not offend anyone. In my opinion, anyone who gets "offended" by the truth needs it more.

[@miztazed]

The godmother of Punk and the female equivalent to Till Lindemann of Rammstein in crazyness. She also did a Rammstein-Cover "Seemann". Her voice range is just incredible as she's a educated opera singer.

[@romanbecker6711]

Seemann by apocalyptica & Nina Hagen is far better than the original Version from Rammstein.

I am not a German, but Austrian, but I love Nina Hagen! She was always such a great singer and character and didn't give a shixxt about what is sociallly "right" or "wrong", what is socially "acceptably" or not! She always told the trues. Like it or not! And even though her music/songs was/were not the kind of music I specifically listend to or liked... there was no way for me to not appreciate her!

[@tyronevaldez-kruger5313]

Punk was created to make the middle and upper classes in particular feel uncomfortable. When you think of punk, bands like the Sex Pistols come to mind. For me, Nina Hagen is the real deal. She's the essence of punk. Greetings from Germany

Congratulations to discover Germany's best artist and character that stage has ever seen. Sure there have been some great artists coming from modern music like Scorpions, Peter Maffay, Inga Rumpf (best german blues singer), Vince Weber etc.; but I have to say there's nobody quite like our beloved Nina Hagen! It looks like it's quite nnedless to encourage you to listen to more of her stuff..😊

[@johnganderson]

I am a 58 year old Australian, and have always loved Nina Hagen. I really enjoyed watching your reaction.

[@MaxSujyGermany]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@arthur_p_dent]

Her best known song in all of Germany is arguably "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen". Originally mostly known in the GDR (East Germany), it rose to all-German prominence when Angela Merkel had it played by the Bundeswehr brass band for her "Großer Zapfenstreich" (sort of military tattoo event performed to honour her as she left the office of chancellor)

[@feuerwehrmanngrisu9094]

Wenn man den Auftritt am Anfang dieses Videos sieht mit der Diskussion ;) Am Ende der Kanzlerschaft wird der Farbfilm gespielt

[@prometheus4993]

What a nonsense and lack of knowledge to say this , that is absolutely totally wrong, haha ... this song played in all the decades in west germany sometimes in association to the east-west problem and later on ))

[@arthur_p_dent]

@@prometheus4993 oh sure. But it was FAR more popular in the east than the west. Not unknown in the west, true. But the difference in popularity was HUGE. Still is.

[@SHeshi-zc7cr]

but Nina Hagen was a bit confused by Merkel choice of music.... Nina mentioned: "This is a song with lyrics by Kurt Demmler, and hopefully she will know that Kurt Demmler was a GDR “state poet” with special privileges, and later a sex offender who was convicted of systematic child abuse and committed suicide in prison.”

[@arthur_p_dent]

@@SHeshi-zc7cr well, it was supposedly a memory of her youth. Her university days in particular, when she worked as a barmaid and most certainly, in that function, was exposed to that very song on a regular basis.

[@arthur_p_dent]

And yes, she did enjoy an education as an opera singer.

[@martinkasper197]

Nina Hagen is also an actress like her daughter Cosma Shiva and her mother Eva-Maria R.I.P. 🤓

[@arthur_p_dent]

yes, gotta love her playing the Evil Queen in "7 Männer allein im Wald", and her daughter the fair princess she is trying to kill. Don't think there exists an English version of that movie, unfortunately.

Prima Nina, unsere geliebte Godmother of Punk...crazy that there are places she is unknown, cause she was a big influence for so many musicians...🙃

[@henkneijer77]

It's always good to do good research. I'm 60 now and when I was young I was totally in love with Nina. And of course I still am today. You have to know that Nina had classical singing training in her youth in East Germany. Her mother was also an artist and sang too. I also think that Nina was very influenced by Zara Leander's singing. You can tell that from the exaggerated rrrrrs, for example. Her clear language also comes from classical music. In general, Nina grew up with artists. Eva Maria's partner was Wolf Bierbaum, for example. That's of course a great opportunity for young people to express themselves and become self-confident. I think Nina had all of that. In general, it was extremely cool to grow up in the 70s and 80s, it seemed like anything was possible. Young people finally broke free from war-crippled Germany in the 70s. everything was looking up. The merger with, in my opinion, one of the best musicians of the time, Nina Hagen's band, and then the German band Spliff. You can see that in the LPs that came out, such as Unbehagen etc. Unfortunately, after the break-up, things went downhill for both sides. Nina was no longer able to gain a foothold on her own. Just like the band Spliff, things got quieter and quieter until they died out. Punk was no longer popular either and the era of acid jazz and then tecno began. But Nina never gave up. She also became the mother of the well-known, hard-working actress and speaker. She won an extremely large number of awards and festival prizes... Cosma Shiva Hagen. Of course, there were also a lot of narrow-minded, stuffy people back then who just couldn't get along with the wild punk girl Nina and scandals were inevitable. See, for example, the Austrian talk show What's wrong with youth culture? - “Club 2” with Nina Hagen and others (1979). Her voice is amazing with enormous range and stamina. Her acting on stage is just cool. A real entertainer. High voice, e.g. the song Naturtrene. Deep voice, Personal Jesus cover. You can find a lot about Nina Hagen on KZbin these days. That wasn’t the case a few years ago. I think that’s also because she now lives a lot in the USA. That’s why she’s better known there. Check it out, it’s worth it. In general, the whole artist family is very interesting. a real artist with enormous creativity. A life’s work, so to speak. God bless you and your daughter, Nina.

[@PanarchyInTheUK]

Awesome to see a reaction video on Nina! She had a hit - or at least was played a lot on the radio in Spain in the 80s, with a song that IIRC correctly was called I want to go to Africa. Or that may just be the chorus. Anyway, it was brilliant, actually quite catchy but bonkers! Watching her performance here, I see that she was probably a little inspired by Screaming Jay Hawkins, which I'd not realised before. So much music is boring these days. We were so lucky to grow up in the 70s and 80s.

[@MaxSujyGermany]

Nina Hagen was in a relationship with Dutch singer Herman Brood and they made a film together, called Cha Cha. They knew a little bit about drugs. Actually Brood, who sang in English, was meant to become a star in the USA, but the drugs there weren't good enough to keep him on his feet and the rest of the tour had to be cancelled.

'Hold me' is also a great song - and might be internationally still known. Other songs: 'New York', 'Farbfilm vergessen' and btw. the Anthem of the Berlin Football club 'Eisern Union'. Nina Hagen is like Rammstein from Berlin. Both share with some other artists classic higher educated creative tradition of the theatrical expressionism/dadaism of the golden 20ties. Part of that tradition is also ironizing the harsh old Prussian military and bureaucracy sound - for instance by playing around with a longer 'rrrrrrrrrr'. Both, Rammstein and Nina Hagen are among the ones still doing that.. Also being more theatrical,, more breaking through general stereotypes. Btw., that special Prussian-German military and bureaucracy tone was also the reason for the stereotype of German being a harsh language. Had nothing to do with German as language in general.

[@dennishonecker5960]

I remember Nina so well 😄 She was ahead of her times. She still is alive thogh. I remember seeing this scandal. I still listen to her first West German Album. In East Germany she was a Schlagersänger. But this "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" has nothing to do with the stuff that she made in the west. "Unbeschreiblich weiblich" was amazing. A song about women rights. An album that I still listen to every ~3 Month. This song is funny too. I still use her:' PromPT wirds mir jetzt schwer ums Herz',as my running joke, every time it fits. She isn''t that easy to listen to. She's a trained classic singer. And she uses her voice! It's nice that you've chosen her for your video.

[@ponkoffmusic]

That Video is 40 something years old. In Germany, it is hard not to know her or at least her daughter, Cosma Shiva Hagen, for the younger people. Some say she is crazy, some say she is a genius. No matter what she is, she was and is always entertaining.

[@bernardoesperanto3194]

"Naturträne" (1979) about melancholy is one of her early fun songs, as is "TV-Glotzer" (tv watching 1978 -- kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIjdgZZ6qb-NkNE). It is based on the music of an US-Band called "White Punks on Dope" with pretty funny new German lyrics against watching to much tv. A very serious song is "Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo im Damenklo" which at the beginning of the 1980s was a hotspot for minor (12, 13 y. and older) heroine addicted prostitutes (kzbin.info/www/bejne/jorEY6ybaayDj5o). A must is the cover version of Rammstein's song "Seemann" together with the band Apocalyptica of the older Nina (kzbin.info/www/bejne/rF68q5esoqlll7M) about a young woman who left her home due to problems with her mother and became a prostitute.
