They do have a strong fanbase in France and if you are among this fanbase, than you will surely know todays song. It is about the personal experiences of a French girl here in Germany and all the males showing her the metaphorical cold sholder - or aren’t they? Well, you’ll have to listen to find this out.

This week we present another well known German song to you. Well, at least in Germany it is well known. The title, which can be translated as “I have never been to New York”, might not apply to some of our US listeners, but don’t let yourself be fooled. You can still pick up a lot of new things from this lesson. The topic of our cultural tidbit will be the image of the USA in Germany.

Todays song is by the German band Wise Guys. They are a popular A cappella band and todays song is called “Köln ist einfach korrekt.”. As the title already suggest: it is a song about the German city Cologne. If you have never been there before: it is well worth a visit, so you can see for yourself how “correct” Cologne really is. Until then we recommand listening to the song to polish up your German a little bit. You can find an excerpt of today’s song at Amazon.com
Todays song title is “Über den Wolken” which can be translated as “Above the clouds”. The dream of flying is one of the oldest of humankind, so it isn’t hard to imagine this to be a song about freedom. But the original song also has a slightly sad touch. You will notice it in the lyrics, but you can also hear it in the way it is sung. There is a hugh number of remixes, so you might here a rock like version on parties, or you might hear the originals when the DJ is trying to clear the floor and get home in the near future using some slower songs.
Most Germans can sing at least the chorus of this song, no matter their age. Since it is so popular, we know you want to know it, too. Therefore: listen to an excerpt of today’s song at Amazon.com
