Ja, stimme Dir völlig zu! Vielleicht liegt es bei mir daran, dass ich in der "ersten" Nachkriegsgeneration groß geworden bin nach den 68'er Studentenrevolten. Vorher (vor 1968) war "Verdrängung der Geschichte" an der Tagesordnung, danach die Indoktrinierung, das wir "Alles!" Schuld waren. Ich wurde 1972 geboren und habe die volle Breitseite der "deutschen" Demut in Wort, Bildung und Politik erfahren. Es ist in der heutigen Zeit einfach mal schön zu sehen, dass zeitgenössische Werke und Lieder von anderen Menschen aus anderen Nationen gewürdigt werden und wir nicht immer nur das personifizierte Böse sind. Und es ist auch mittlerweile mal schön zu sehen, dass wenn irgendein Zentralrat von irgendwem einen Schluckauf bekommt, die gesamte Bundesregierung nicht in Schockstarre und Demutsposen verfällt, wie damals, sondern auch mal Corntra gibt. Ich musste, ohne dass ich das Gewicht oder die Schuld jemals geleugnet habe, lange darauf warten , dass auch endlich mal die zweite oder dritte Nachkriegsgeneration sich wehrt und offen sagt: "Ja, unsere Vorväter und -mütter haben Fehler begangen, doch es ist nicht mehr meine Schuld! Sondern nur mein Erbe, was ich ehren, dessen ich gedenken muss und dem ich verpflichtet bin! Aber es ist nicht mein Fehler!"
Here is the correct translation for English ^^: DISCLAMER: The translation might not be fully correct due to it being Copy and Paste frpm a website for song lyrics!!! Alright, today I'm quite in a good mood Dress nicely and put on a hat The Rolex ticks, oh how good do I look! Get the thrill I absolutely need Yeah, again a solo performance In this poser outfit, I get myself comfortable Get ready for bed, smoke sh*t Where are the chicks with poser neckline? Come into the club and enjoy the sight 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 no homemaker, I really need a drink Which is worth it, get to the bar, I talk to a woman Seven Mochitos for the lady and me Suddenly 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 beautiful thing I hide my wedding ring Ding dong, we could get at it But we only suck our drinks 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 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 have to win time Order some more drinks She's not my kind That's what I try to convince myself of Ridiculous! I get lost in the drink 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 being offensive But I'm drunk, just looking at her Little later my head lies next to the toilet I'd never have bet That puking would save my marriage
Nice. Falls du's optimieren willst, es heißt: 'to take the offensive'. 'Being offensive' ist 'beleidigend sein', das will sie aber nicht. Zeit gewinnen ist 'to buy time' nicht 'win'. richtig wäre 'she's not my type', nicht 'kind'.
Its not even translated... It just tries to fit german words in english vocabulary 😂 it even cuts words in half, frankensteins the rest to the next word and is often just assuming 😂😂😂
Broken down it is about a married dude getting his best outfit out to go to a bar, gets drunk, meets a stunning lady, hides his wedding band, she wants him to make a move, but he is so drunk he can't and ends up puking instead and says to himself "I never imagined puking would save my marriage"
Seeed is amazing and timeless! The Frontman "Peter Fox" has one of the best german albums ever called "Stadtaffe" - would recommend you a lot if you like the Style! ❤
The captured subtitiles couldn't be more nonsense, omg. But anyways, Seeed is amazing. Such a good combination of Rap, Roots Reggae, Dancehall etc. And they do not only sing in German. Often they mix within one song even. German Reggae is actually huge. Check also people like 'Gentleman' or 'Patrice' or soo many more. I believe Summer Jam in Cologne is still the biggest Reggae/Dancehall Festival in Europe.
Seeed is a multi-cultural band with 10(?) members from Berlin but the main guy who is rapping here is Pierre Baigorry (stage name Peter Fox) from Germany. Their songs are all in this specific Reggae and Dancehall style. I think this is their only animated video (but not sure about it) most of their videos feature the whole band and the city of Berlin. Some of their songs can be seen as loveletters to this city like "Schwarz zu Blau" (English: "Black to Blue", describing a morning in Berlin) or "Dickes B" (English: "Big/Fat B", because of the size of the city) and if not mentioned directly, Berlin is always referenced to in some way. The cover of "Ding" by the band Feuerschwanz is great too. Feuerschwanz (English: Firetail or Firecock, can mean either) are a German Medieval Folk Metal band who often use bagpipes, harps and hurdy-gurdy in addition to the usual rock/metal instruments like guitars, drums and bass to create that medieval sound. For the cover they invited Melissa Bonny the (French-Swiss) singer of the Symphonic Metal band Ad Infinitum to sing the English part.
There are quite many animated videos actually. 'Beautiful', 'Lass sie geh'n' and 'Hale-Bopp' would be some of them. 'Cherry Oh 2014' was another one, but it's not available on their channel anymore.
SEEED is actually quite a multicultural band, with the band members pretty much all coming from Berlin, but having backgrounds from Ghana, France, Guinea, and yes, Jamaika (but that's actually the percussionist)
"Ding" was everywhere in those days, and still gets played occasionally on radio, I remember hearing it just a week ago or so while driving. Well deserved success!
You should definitely check out a translation of the lyrics! The guy is going out with his mates, flirting and getting wasted. As he passes out at 3:47 he says "Hätte nie gewettet, dass kotzen meine Ehe rettet" - "Never would have bet that puking would save my marriage"
I LOVE what you said at the end of this video from about 8:00. That’s why I love your reaction videos so much. People who watch videos like this because they want to see their hatred of other cultures confirmed will not find what they are looking for in you. You are curious, open, always warm-hearted, even when you criticize (and it seems authentic, not just polite), and you are genuinely interested in the diversity that could be available to all of us if we only looked more closely and with an open heart. As humanity, we still have a long way to go in this regard, and you are one of those who go ahead without making a mission out of it. Simply because that is your way. I like that a lot ❤
1. You have to read the lyrics 2. You have to listen to "Dickes B", "Music Monks" and then my personal favourite "Psychedelic Kingdom" and all of the rest. Love your channel, greetings from Dortmund.
I would love to see you react to Danger Dan - Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt. There are maybe 2 or 3 references to political or otherwise infamous German people you won't know, but I think from the context it will be clear what kind of people he sings about. For years I just did not find any German singing artist I liked listening to, but when he released the album I listened to it for weeks non stop.
I still remember how surprised I was when one of my friends from England (originally from India) started singing this song in English. That's when I got to know there is an English version from the same artists as well. The way she was singing it and my other friends joined her I thought at least that song was pretty popular in England? You should check out "Thing" by Seeed if you didn't know.
Fun fact: Peter Fox originally produced his first solo album for Ceelo Green, who eventually stepped down from the production, so Fox thought to himself „why waste all those good tracks“ and made a solo album. Lucky us 😁
If you like Seed. I highly recommend you to check out Peter Fox solo album. In my opinion, the best songs from the album are: „Alles neu“ „Stadtaffe“ and „Lok auf 2 Beinen“ 😊
🤣🤣 The translation has almost nothing to do with the text, but the English part captures it well. Seeed has long been one of my all-time favorite bands. The band consists of ten people, including a horn section. Their live performances are outstanding, and their dancehall vibes are infectious, compelling you to move your body. From the album “Music Monks,” there is also an English version - definitely worth listening to!
beside Peter Fox another one of the main singers is Dellé, who gives some song parts a jamaican English Accent, which you have noticed, but surprisingly he is from Ghana
Seeed is a fantastic band. You shoul also check out "Dickes B" but I love "Aufstehen" you defenitely need to check that. And when you already on it you should listen to Peter Fox the lead singers solo album. Have fun with one of the best german artists
HAHAAAA, I love ya mate 😁 Please please also check out: Riddim No.1, Dancehall Caballeros, Waiting, Augenbling, Tide is high, Geld, What you deserve is what you get.and Dickes B. I know you will either love the song or the video, or both.
Hey Dwayne fellow English/Jamaican who grew up in Germany here. Loved the video Background to the Band/Group It’s a very creative group from Berlin. The Song is from 2006 and a classic in Germany. The group is heavily reggae/caribbean influenced and I was surprised you noticed the English verse being performed by a Jamaican in their group. I can recommend “Aufstehen” with Ceelo Green. You’ll love it. It summarises their music in a great❤ Great Content 🙏🏾
No, he is right. German and English both derive from Germanic. So you can call those languages sister languages. But we are here to talk about Seeed I think...
Translation for you guys: So, today I'm pretty good Put a hat on me The Rolex is ticking, I look good Get me the kick I absolutely need' Yeah, another solo ride In the poser outfit, do me a favor, make me board-fat Smoke' Shit, where are the brides with pose cut Come to the club and enjoy the view The bride is jewelry and she is also chic I sing a hook where everyone chokes My wife looks terrible when she gets it out No matter, there's got to be an exit. I don't need a drink that's good To the bar, I'm working on a woman For the lady and for me seven mojitos I like every song so much Dance to the song of Placebo Am blue and the lady dito Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring Klinglingling we could bring it But we only fuck at the drink Ooh you pretty thing, you're queen and I'm king When I see you I have to sing Tingaling you pretty thing We are blue, we are pointy Woman sitting at home with kids At the moment I'm fighting the desire Who as anyone can see flashes in my eyes Old, crass bride, she says 'let it out' And is hot to go I need to buy time' Keep ordering drinks, she's not my thing I try to talk myself into Ridiculous! I mug myself away Bartender knock out what's in your barrels I save it because it makes me forget My mind is obsessed with sex She wants offensive from the man, but I'm drunk, I slapped her, soon after Lying my head next to the toilet, would never bet The puke saved my marriage Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring Klinglingling we could bring it But we only fuck at the drink Ooh you pretty thing, you're queen and I'm king When I see you I have to sing Tingaling you pretty thing Oh Look at this burning body (hot) These breasts in a naughty (upper) red lips so juicy, (oh god) In the middle of your net, please don't stop Take my brain turn it off Feel no shame, feel no love More champagne for our game It's crazy, but it is (ahh) You want to ruin my life? Say something! Will you tell my wife? Please stop! Things are getting really tight, I never thought you would me! All I wanted was a body for joy, "let's get naughty" You said, didn't you? Now you say you love me day and night! Who will save me from this horror? Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring Klinglingling we could bring it But we only fuck at the drink Ooh you pretty thing, you're queen and I'm king When I see you I have to sing Tingaling you pretty thing Ooh you pretty thing, I'm hiding my wedding ring Klinglingling we could bring it But we only fuck at the drink Ooh
Oh my it´s such a pleasure watching you react to music we germans grew up with. Pleas do me a favor and find the lyrics translation it´s such a fun song. Love your vibe thanks ❤🎉
Seeed is great, check also out "Augenbling" , "Musik Monks" or "Dickes B" from them. They are great live, so a live performnce reaction would be cool to
Here an English version of the lyrics (not translated by me) Thing Alright, today I'm quite in a good mood Dress nicely and put on a hat The Rolex ticks, oh how good do I look! Get the thrill I absolutely need Yeah, again a solo performance In this poser outfit, I get myself comfortable Get ready for bed, smoke sh*t Where are the chicks with poser neckline?

What i really like about Peter Fox, the german lead singer, he openly prefers curvy women, showing thicc badger girls in this Video and on his first solo album he even has an entire song where he sings high praise to plus size women. (Schüttel deinen Speck from the Album 'Stadtaffe').
Great reaction to a great song! Don't know if you're into metal or punkrock but there are so many great bands from germany. One i really love is Powerwolf, if you wanna hear top performance of the frontman search the song "Amen and Attack"
Try the chorus like: "Ohoho, pretty thing, I will hide my wedding ring …" - what a pity how you miss all the nuances of the lyrics. But long story short, the key to understanding the song is this line: "I never would've bet on puking to save my marriage." („Hätte nie gewettet, daß Kotzen meine Ehe rettet.“)
Heh.... as soon as I saw the title I was like "oh, he is gonna like this one". If you wanna get into the weeds of German Hip-Hop a bit, you might wanna give "Die Fantastischen Vier - Die Da" a listen, thats pretty much at the beginning of German Hip Hop. But the Fantastischen Vier are still going and doing well, even if they are somewhat doing her own thing. But I agree with the other commenters, going for Stuff from Seeeds lead singer Peter Fox is also a good time.
I haven't heard the song for a long time. When it came out in 2005 I finished school and started my apprenticeship and as a village kid with my apprentice's salary I bought wickedly expensive concert tickets for Seeed in Berlin in 2006 (or 2007? Mh!) and O-M-G it was an awesome evening!
English is a Germanic language so our both poetry, dramas, novels can be translated into the other language without a loss of meaning an beauty. So we have Shakespeare and Marlowe and all the other novellists, poets etc. from the UL translated into German. You have our one's translated to English as well (Goethe, Schiller, Thomas Mann, etc.) A little Plus: The Brits took in a German ducestry house for the English/Welsh/Cornwall throne when the Stuarts died out with Queen Mary II. - not to speak about Victoria the munching Queen and her first cousin Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg and Gotha whom she proposed to.
Hey there, German here! Since the song contains lots of slang words I tried to adapt the translation closely to the original meanings. I know I'm late but maybe someone finds it interesting :) **** Alright, today I'm in a good mood dress up nicely and put a hat on the Rolex ticks, damn I look good Gonna go get the kick that I really need Yeah! Again I'm going out on my own in a poser outfit make myself a nice set up get super high, smoke shit where are the girls with their poser-cleavage I get to the bar and enjoy the view that girl is hot and the other one is also nice i sing a hook with which everybody gets hyped my wife will kill me if she finds it out. Mmm, whatever, going out once in a while should be okay I'm not a guy that just stays at home anyways I need a drink with some kick to it go to the bar, I talk to a lady For the lady and for me 7 mojito! out of the sudden i like every song i even dance to the song of placebo i'm drunk and the woman ditto Oooh you pretty thing! I am hiding my wedding ring! Dingelingeling we could actually do it but we're just sipping our drinks Oooh you pretty thing! you're the queen and I'm the king when I see you I have to sing Dingelingeling you pretty thing We are drunk, we are horny. at home there sits, the wife with kids. in this moment i'm trying to fight the wish that everybody is able to read from eyes Dude, what a hot chic she says ,,let it out'' and she is eager to get it on I have to buy some time order further drinks no she's not my thing that's what i try to tell myself Ridiculous! I'll drink even more! Barkeeper keep it coming give me all you have! I drink it all up because it makes me forget my thoughts are now all about sex! she wants the first move from the guy but i am drunk, look at her cross eyed shortly after my head is lying beside the toilet i would have never thought that vomiting would save my marriage
love Seeed! Great live band also, thanks a lot for this reaction. Maybe you wanna check out Barbaras Rhabarberbar by Bodo Wartke, quite different than Ding but very funny & part 2 is even funnier.
Seeed who are the masterminds behind this song is an actual band. In other music videos they also show the band. If you like Ding (translates to "thing", but "hübsches Ding" means "pretty one" in the context of the song) also check out Music Monks or Schwinger
Seeed is one of our best. Watch Seeed Augenbling , Dancehall Caballeros, Aufstehen and one of my alltime favorites Wonderfull life ( The AAARGh Video )
