Good morning, sinners.



Europe’s most wanted,

Pop music will always prevail because it can take anything out of context – say, the Japanese code word referring to the Pearl Harbor attack – and turn it into a thing you say when you meet a hot bikini babe on a beach who wants to have sex with you.



FUN FACT: “Tora Tora Tora” literally means “tiger tiger tiger”.

Easy, tiger,

You remember Nena and Kim Wilde, don’t you?

They did a song together once, you know. Because you can do that when you were big in the 80s in Europe.



Together again,

You remember Nena, don’t you?

There was more to them than “99 Luftballons”, you know.



Translation here if you need it.

Dreaming of you,

Damen und Herren, it’s Michael Holm und his sideburns.

Dancing twin go-go girls included.

Tanzen und tanzen und tanzen,

Socrates was the first rock’n’roll star. Sure. He had a big following, challenged authority and died of a hemlock overdose.

Like Jimi Hendrix.

Elpida knew that.



PRODUCTION NOTE: If the sync seems off, it’s because this is the English version of the song dubbed over footage of the Greek version performed at the Eurovision song contest.

Greek to me,

When I lived in Bavaria in West Germany in the mid-80s (which is also where I learned to love teh Europops), I listened to a lot of Bayern Drei (Bavarian Radio 3). So I heard quite a bit of Nicki.

Specifically, her current single at the time, “Wenn i mit Dir Tanz” (If I Dance With You)”.



I think the roller-rink organ is what sold me. And I still like it. I probably still have the cassette of the album somewhere.

More snare,

Sometimes a song gets stuck in yr head. And sometimes it’s by Les Rita Mitsouko.



If it’s MY head, anyway.

Which gets me to thinking how I haven’t inflicted my love of cheesy Europop on you lot nearly enough. So you’ll be seeing some more stuff like this in the coming weeks. Though not necessarily a lot of it. There’s certainly at least four or five more of these I could do before I start relying on Falco videos.

She’s so European,

This is dF
