What's the best song you have heard today?

In Germany, the Scorpions are rocking the Brandenburg Gate.

And of course they also play “Wind of Change”

Yes, that’s interesting. Did some Wikipedia, and variants of these lines can be found in folk songs from as far back late eighteenth-century/early nineteenth-century. According to Wikipedia “The many variants feature various young soldiers, sailors, maids, and cowboys, being cut down in their prime and contemplating their deaths.” Perhaps Odetta made it sixteen because this was an old person contemplating her death :smiley:

Another interesting thing is how the song in Odetta’s version becomes a completely different song than the (good) versions popularized by The A____ls and Frijid Pink in the 1960’s.

Yesterday I posted the video of the Scorpions “Wind of Change”.

Here is the current version especially for Ukraine, which they played at the Brandenburg Gate at the turn of the year.

They’re still a bit younger than the Stones… :wink:

Let’s hope they stay with us for a few more years. :heart:

Wolfie, what can I say? Asians seem to like seeing young girls perform on stage. Here’s another disgusting example. :angry:

It wouldn’t be so bad if these girls could actually sing well.

I’m not sure which girls you’re talking about now, but I guess in both cases their voices aren’t really the point of the show.

we all know Ram Jam i guess…

this is the original “Black Betty”

Black Betty was the name given to whip the slaves were punished with…

Normally… nothing beats the original!

especially if it’s from David Bowie!

but today is Till Lindemann’s day

the singer of Rammstein turned 60 today

that’s why this version along with Apocalyptica is the best today
