Nina Hagen - Unbeschreiblich Weiblich • TopPop

Catharina "Nina" Hagen (born 11 March 1955) is a German singer, songwriter, and actress. She is known for her theatrical vocals and rose to prominence during the punk and new wave movements in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
Born in the former East Berlin, German Democratic Republic, Hagen began her career as an actress when she appeared in several German films alongside her mother Eva-Maria Hagen. Around that same time, she joined the band Automobil and released the single "Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen". After her stepfather Wolf Biermann's East German citizenship was withdrawn in 1976, Hagen followed him to Hamburg. Shortly afterwards, she was offered a record deal from CBS Records and formed Nina Hagen Band. Their self-titled debut album was released in 1978 to critical acclaim and was a commercial success selling over 250,000 copies. The band released one more album, Unbehagen, before their break-up in 1979.
'Naturträne' and 'Unbeschreiblicht Weiblich' which both were recorded by Toppop on 8 February 1979 are featured on Nina's 1979 album Nina Hagen Band .

Her glam and performance style is my actual inner self. Pretty sure of it.

[@rogerthijs7256]

Don't know. She once had a show in my hometown (loooong time ago) and when she got out of the car that brought her, my good friend Willem walked by with is dog, and when she saw it, stopped immidiatly and most kindly asked a hundred questions about him and gave him (not the dog ! ) immidiatly a free ticket for the show ... During the show, she saw my friend again , stopped the show for a moment and asked him : "Everything OK with the little dog " ?

[@marcovg3300]

[@teleroel]

First few words: I was pregnant, wanted to puke! But you probably have found this yourself. I'm not sure if this song would work in English... And she then goes on that she doesn't want to obtain kids or do her feminine 'duty'. I'm okay with that. Can't decide for anyone else.

[@Andreas-bw3gc]

Cuando la descubrí a finales de los 80 solo me llamó la atención su aspecto llamativo, su forma histriónica de actuar y evidentemente su capacidad vocal. Y mira por donde ahora descubro que llevaba mensajes en sus letras, que era reinvicativa en temas políticos y feminista. Olé por Nina

[@StefWangPARIS]

De acuerdo contigo, aunque el tema (« por qué tendría yo que tener hijos ? No tengo ganas de cumplir con mi deber ») suena mucho a los años 1960 😉

[@Envee-zv5ek]

Ich war schwanger, mir ging’s zum kotzen - has to be one of the most epic opening sentences of all time 😅 I was a child when this came out and remember being scared and fascinated by her in equal amounts. Now I can only admire the song, the lyrics, her personality and style. A true icon. Love you Nina ❤

I have to disagree. Spliff (the bands name without nina) released some bangers but Nina is still going and had a lot of good solo albums.

her style and shock effect is one thing, but she really is a good vocalist with great range. And while not comparable in sort of music, she probably could have sang Kate Bush songs and if she got the accent / language right.. a blind audience wouldn't have been able to tell the difference.

If you feel the urge to compare Nina Hagen to Kate Bush you’ve never been thrown out of a Berlin club.

And about abortion :D

[@arwua]

It's about that women are women even if they won't get children. She tells that she was pregnant and it seems she give it away. It's not her dignity. She has to free herself before getten children. She feels undiscrible feminine. Nina her selv has two children, so she sings for all women not for herself

[@ricardooscaribanezperez5437]
