I have written about music from the former GDR before, but somehow I missed out on the most profoundly retarded punk anthem ever recorded in the German language. Released in 1983 by the band Keks (Cookie), it shows once again what socialist societies were capable of. By the way, only two years later the band was officially outlawed in East Germany. Maybe they were just too far ahead of their time. Listen at your own risk: Keks - Hasch mich, Mädchen (MP3)
The song title roughly translates to "Catch me, girl", and the lyrics consist of countless repetitions of the song title, mixed with unintelligible gibberish. The picture to the right shows Keks in 1979, when they hadn't yet turned into subversive retard-punks.
haha, thanks to bring that old GDR stuff to the world!!!
you know, members of KEKS are now the clowns of KNORKATOR??
knorkator - buchstabe
knorkator - Böse (evil) * take a look at the comments where the german lyrics are translated
Knorkator - Try Again (Live At Wacken 2004)
Knorkator - Ma Baker (Sepultura feat. Scissor Sisters)

hope you will enjoy these guys a little bit. it's not really (or not only) a parodie of rammstein.

I love the way the guitar player shreds on this track. They were really ahead of their time. If only the band could have kept the momentum in this song instead of falling apart every minute...
