How old? Weren't Mozart & Beethoven German?

 

[Dameon]

90's hit: neun und neunzig luftballons
(99 red balloons)

folks song: Mein Hut er hat drei ecken.

Most classical pieces.

 

[ONE23]

1970's ~ 90's. Most popular soungs would be great for me to learn German.

Thanks!

 

[Moonbeam]

It wouldn't hurt to learn English also.

Dameon,

That was an 80s hit by Nena. There is also Falco.

[ONE23]

Have you heard this song, "Sesame Street-Rubber Ducky[German Techno Remix]"?
I like it.

Could you guys find more songs for me?

Thank you all!

 

[Zucchini]

Wagner? hehe

 

[nickdakick]

Scorpions ? But wait they are singing in English, damn.
Die fantastischen Vier(Rap), Xavier Naidoo(Pop), Die toten Hosen(Punk), Franz Schubert Lieder(Classic). Not everything done by the above mentioned is famous though.

 

[Dameon]

there's always Rammerstein

DU HAST MICH GEFRAGT UND ICH HAB NICHT GESAGT!

[Spook]

Hey.. I have both the English and Germany versions of Peter Schillings, Major Tom.

 

[convex]

or, if you can watch some german tv, get some old school dubbed alf and a-team action going on

 

[nickdakick]

convex how do you get German TV ? :Q

 

[convex]

by sitting down and turning on some RTL of course...when i'm pestering the relatives in germany that is

 

[Regine]

Die Aerzte.
Then there is "Heidenroeslein", a very famous folk song based on a poem by Goethe.

Although, I'm not sure how you expect to learn about Germany from songs....

 

[ONE23]

Hey Toolgirl: Die Deutsche Sprache ist doch einfacher mit Bier dabei!

Seriously though, if you have a hobby, then research the hobby in the German language. Much easier accomplished nowadays with the internet.

It's actually to one's advantage to learn the written portion first. German is very consistant with the vowels....und Umlauten.
