Thread: What are you listening to?

I love Johnny Cash but be assured, only when he sings in english, be happy that you dont have to understand the
baddest translation of Johnny Cash songs ever had been made, i dont know if it was a joke for Johnny to sing in german
but im sure, if he knew that the german lyrics have nothing to do with the english original i wonder if he would have sing
the german Version.

i have been pumping Tool.

I agree, there are few singers that can pull that off,,, except ABBA of course..

Saint Paul and the Broken Bones. Still find it hard to believe where that voice comes from.

Rockabilly tells me that the songs that the Beatles did in German are very well done.

Oh Yes, the Beatles Songs on german are very good translated, nearly to the same content as they have in english language although the german language is much complicated because of the many different grammatical pronouns and grammatical cases, if it wouldnt be my mother language im sure that it wouldnt be a language that i would like to learn.

Tonight its Teddy Boy Eve at my Home, i found some CD´s with Cavan and hear them one by one :-)
