Otto's Weird Music Thread

(German, but the interviews are mostly in English)

80th underground in Berlin was weird, wonder what happened. Oh, think I know, the German gov relocated from Bonn to Berlin. Not much survived. The Ärzte for instance did, despite all their legal trouble with German censorship. Thinking about it, those trouble surly helped their popularity and it’s not like they did not like to play with the censors. “Claudia has a German Shepard”. Was obvious that a song about bestiality instantly got banned so next was “Claudia now has a horse” and finally “Claudia now got a whale” and censorship no longer knew what to do. Or “Sibling love” (brother / sister incest). Got instantly banned also of course. At a concert, they played an instrumental version with following announcement:

“If you sing this song, you’ll be committing a punishable offense—and we don’t want that, now, do we? You still have your whole lives ahead of you; you’re so young. Go train to be a banker, or get addicted to drugs—just don’t sing this song. […] On the strength of your solemn promise not to sing it, we’ll play the song now.”

Guess it's obvious what happened and the Ärzte still was sentenced.
