💬As I mentioned previously, this song had so many amazing reactions to it… I had to do it. But this one was tricky! There were four different videos the reactors listened to. An “original” version, the official version, a “live” version (wasn’t really live), and a lyric video. All four of them used the same studio recording of the track, although the original and official versions were edited shorter. It was a bit of a clusterf*ck trying to dissect them all… but I manage to do it! For this reason you will notice different videos throughout. I have always loved this band since I was a kid and their music still hits just as hard today. I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I did. ONTO THE NEXT! 💜

I don’t know if you know this but when in the 80s Roger Waters did a live performance of The Wall in No Man’s Land between West and East Germany and at one point at the beginning the Scorpions ride out in a limo to pose as the band headed up by “Pink” it was epic!

The poor lead singer had to have cysts removed from his vocal cords on more than one occasion. His voice was just so high. Truly beautiful and I don't think English is even his first language. I think he's from one of those countries where you think of the sky being gray all the time - - but that's just in my mind. You know Eastern European or Scandinavia or something. Beautiful beautiful. To be clear I'm not trying to say that he has passed away because I haven't looked into that. I mean back in the 80s. I don't want to sound like I think that he has passed away!

There's a saying that, when an artist reaches the level of a genius with a song or a poem , it belongs to the heritage of mankind and not one country. I like that. Nevertheless, I was a kid when this song was in the charts. We were blown away: "A German band!" We all bought guitars. The first song I ever played on a guitar (an age old sunburst no name Strat) was this particular song we had taken out of a book called "Learning guitars with the Scorpions". (Sidenote: it took us days to find out, what the Whammy bar was good for. Imagine three guys picking, strumming, knocking the guitar at the same time, turning knobs and twirling the bar clockwise, counterclockwise. It was so hilarious)

Her vocal expertise and explanations are so great on songs like this. Perfectly done Momma.
