klaus eberhartinger from eav (erste allgemeine verunsicherung)?

[spitalofatalo]

i spent way too long making fake erste allgemeine verunsicherung stan tweets in the hopes that all 3 english-speaking fans would find it funny a little bit

[mapplestrudel]

Sometimes, childhood memories strike you out of nothing. I've heard the song a million times, but have never actually seen the video.

It's hilarious xD

Hi!! I come to you since you're my dearest German mutual, and I've been learning German since 2020 and well, I can learn grammar and vocabulary but I wanna find more german (real german, not just textbook german yk) content to listen to and become more fluid!! I'm guessing you might know stuff like music and youtube channels and maybe podcasts and that sort of stuff-? It'd be very helpful! Thanks in advance :3

This is so much, especially music. We just listen to a lot of german music a wide variety. Sorry or you're welcome

Youtubers:

coldmirror: one of the longest existing youtubers, comedy

Spacefrogs: mostly political humor

Iblali: hasn't really been active on that channel but at least was funny

Hand of Blood: comedy and gaming, and weird costumes

Zeo: comedy, mostly speaks in understable german, mostly (Chill deine Basics has a character who speaks in a thick Bavarian accent)

der Heider: haven't actually watched him in a while, also thick Bavarian accent sometines

Klengan: talks about stuff happening on youtube, mostly, last video I remember was about Jeremy Fragrance

Tommy Toalingling: gay, as in he makes a lot of videos about queer topics, also he's gay (this could be helpful if you want to know more about queer terms in german)

Kegy: comedy and also I keep referencing him and no one gets it, also hasn't uploaded in 4 years

Malternativ: in case you want to listen to a german man scream about annoying things (he's funny, I promise)

MiiMii: really hard to describe, weird drawings

Rob Bubble: politic humor, Anti-Webvideopreis (for the worst video of the year)

Podcasts:

Brainpain (by Heider and Klengan)

einer von den Guten (having actually listened to that one, but Zeo is one of them. so it can't be bad)

nicht mehr ganz Twitter (also includes Zeo and the guy who did Iblali)

Lästerschwestern (by Rob Bubble)

I really don't listen to a lot of podcasts, but those exist and the people aren't awful in other media)

Not a podcast, but an audiobook:

Känguru-Chroniken: have you ever wanted to listen to a story about a communist kangaroo and an anarchist artist? Because this is that. It's really funny.

Music:

Comedian Harmonists: you should definitely listen to "mein kleiner grüner Kaktus" at least once. They're old and made what wikipedia calls "volkstümliche Musik"

Cro: rap/pop kinda music, I recommend "Einmal um die Welt" and "Bye Bye"

die Ärzte: punk band, have themes such as death, kink, random gay lines and anti-fascism. I recommend "Junge" and "M&F", just because they're like the most popular songs. But if you want to listen to a weirder song, I'd suggest "meine Ex(plodierte Freundin)", way too happy for the fact that he's talking about his girlfriend exploding.

Die Prinzen: A cappella, "alles nur geklaut" is very popular and the funniest song to get cover

Die toten Hosen: punk band, our syskids really like "Walkampf", maybe a little too much. "Tage wie diese" and "Altes Fieber" are quite popular. Also "zehn kleine Jägermeister", just be aware the source of "zehn kleine [word]" is racist, if you choose to look that up, not this song, just the original one.

EAV (Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung): they were an Austrian punk band, so if some words are confusing, that might just be because they're Austrian. Also "Ba-Ba Banküberfall", because it's really funny.

Falco: also Austrian, Neue Deutsche Welle, you should listen to "Rock me, Amadeus", "Egoist", "Dance Mephisto" and actually basically every song. We just really like Falco.

Glasperlenspiel: electro-pop, "geiles Leben" and "Echt" are really great, also "Traumtänzer" and "Legoschloss"

Haggefugg: medieval rock, "Daheim" and "Märchenwald"

Heldmaschine: industrial metal, sound similar to Rammstein (they have a song about that)

Herbert Grönemeyer: rock(?) singer, I recommend "Männer" and "Kinder an die Macht", also "etwas warmes" (that one's gay)

LaBrassBanda: So Bavarian they were Lederhosen in every picture, but they have an entire album they recorded in a cow barn, so I had to mention them

Mark Forster: pop, very popular, "Au Revoir" (and on that note, Sido, I guess) and "Chöre" are great

Max Giesinger: pop, "Wenn sie tanzt" is very nice

Megaherz: Neue Deutsche Härte, they have a cover of "Rock me Amadeus", and also "Schwarz = Religion" is great

Musica Immortalis: medieval music, I saw them in person, they only have 60 monthly listeners on spotify but they are so so good. Like, "Kraken" and "der Sturm", wonderful.

OOMPH!: one of the first bands under Neue Deutsche Härte, there is so much, so I'll recommend albums this time. "Des Wahnsinns Fette Beute", multiple queer songs, crossdressing, being scared of your own homosexuality and public gay sex with a sailor. Also one song about suicide. "Ritual", a lot of pain and suffering, also a song titled "TRRR - FCKN - HTLR", which does include the line "terror, ficken, Hitler" being shouted multiple times.

Reis Against The Spülmaschine: parodies, also only three songs but they're incredibly funny

Schattenmann: Neue Deutsche Härte, some quite explicitly sexual songs, but they're good. Like "Choleriker", which isn't about sex but is about violence and anger issues

Tanzwut: Neue Deutsche Härte but also medieval

The toten Crackhuren im Kofferraum: punk, all women, great, wonderful, I recommend "ich und mein Pony" and "Punkrock hat mir das Herz gebrochen"

Voxxclub: also very Bavarian, it's great 👍

Nena: Neue Deutsche Welle, especially "99 Luftballons" and "Irgendwie, Irgendwo, Irgendwann"

And this is more so specific songs that were a very formative experience when we were 12-15:

"ne Leiche" by SDP, Sido (yes, it's about a corpse)

"Willst du" by Alligatoah (sounds like a love song, but it's about drugs)

"Über den Wolken" by Reinhard Mey (this one is just nice)

"Monsta" by Culcha Candela (we call it the german monsterfucker song, because that woman is a literal monster and he's like "even better!")

"Major Tom (... völlig losgelöst)" by Peter Schilling (this one's sad)

"Die Da!?" by die Fantastischen Vier

"Nur ein Wort" by Wir sind Helden (just a love song)

"Stadt" by Cassandra Steen, Adel Tawil

"Perfekte Welle" by Juli

"Vom selben Stern" by Ich + Ich

"Skandal im Sperrbezirk" by Spider Murphy Gang (be aware it's about prostitues and the language is a little outdated, but the song is good)

I don't think I have to tell you about Rammstein, but also "Mann gegen Mann" is gay

Berlin: „Die Vögel“, neue Version

Tichy:»„Drei weiße Tauben, die scheißen mich zu“, so sang einst die Blödel-Band „Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung“, und sie traf die Gefühlslage vieler Stadtbewohner mitten ins Herz. Die einst domestizierten und inzwischen wieder verwilderten Vögel sind längst eine echte Landplage. Tauben sind nur mäßig intelligent, aber dafür gegenüber anderen Vogelarten drastisch aggressiv. Sie sind Träger und Überträger Der Beitrag Berlin: „Die Vögel“, neue Version erschien zuerst auf Tichys Einblick. http://dlvr.it/TFZG7L «

34 "Ba-ba-bankrobbery" - EAV

Written by Thomas Spitzer, Klaus Eberhartinger, Eik Breit, Nino Holm & Günther Schönberger

Then a granny turns around and says "Sonny Jim You'd see there was a queue If you'd removed that thing!"

Part of the UncoolTwo50 project, marking the best singles from 1977-99.

The Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung were a pop-comedy band from deepest darkest Austria. They made comedy songs with some social criticism, perhaps we might compare with Philip Pope's songs for Spitting Image and Radio Active.

EAV were successful from their foundation in 1978, and eventually tried to break the Anglophone market. For some reason, there isn't much space on British radio for people sing-rapping in harsh German. "Ba-ba-bankrobbery" was a revised version of "Ba-ba-banküberfall", with lyrics translated for poetry rather than precision.

It was worth an attempt - Opus had brought schlager song "Live is life" into the top ten, Falco had hit big with "Rock me Amadeus". But EAV found success evasive. The song divided opinion, as we saw on the Saturday Superstore Pop Panel:

"I thought it was art. 0/5" - Nik Kershaw

"Like Bugs Bunny in human form." - Terry Nutkins

"They're like Sparks, I like it." - Sarah Brightman

They never bothered to translate the album Geld oder Leben! or release a follow-up single. EAV continued recording through many line-up changes, finally disbanding in 2019.

Other German-speaking acts in the longlist: Fools' Garden with "Lemon tree", and Mysterious Art with the 1989 original "Das Omen".

"guy keeps opening the door expecting good news only for his life to get progressively worse from these unwanted visits until he kills himself and goes to heaven and rings the doorbell but god won't let him in" is a very tmbg / john linnell song concept but erste allgemeine verunsicherung did it first

EAV (Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung) - Märchenprinz

[schadenfreudich]

A colleague was talking about having to go to his insurance (in german: Versicherung) because he accidentally hit a deer last week, and another colleague jokingly asked if he was going to the "Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung" (a band) and the first colleague didn't catch that, so he repeated "Verunsicherung" (meaning "uncertainty"/opposite of Versicherung) and the first colleague still didn't get it.

And I was just sitting there, quietly chuckling, trying to not start laughing.
