Krawall und Remmidemmi!

One more thing before I go to bed:



This is a song that they play in every club/dance/party I've gone to here. It's called Remmidemmi (which means racket), and it's by Deichkind (which can mean many things but a few are dike child, levee child, embankment child (you get the idea)). They're a techno/rap band, who have comedic lyrics. They ranked pretty highly in a German-wide music contest that promotes German only music. They're also catchy as hell. This song's pretty hilarious I'll try and translate:

Your parents are at a tennis tournament
You're having a party? How nice of you
Impulsive People know no borders
Throw the furniture out the window
We need space for dancing

Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket

A little gold and silver
a little bling-bling
Don't you have anything to eat here?
I want pizza!
Your mother said "Don't track in so much dirt!"
In the photo in the kitchen she looks like Katja Ebstein

Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket

We're dancing on the tables
The atmosphere's godawful
I'll go naked
In the pool can one refresh himself
Your dad's speakers I'll take into the Sauna
I'll make a drink with the House Bar
And then I'll crank it louder

Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket
Yippie Yippie Yeah Yippie Yeah Riot and Racket

(I don't know the first line to this one...)
We want only what's experienced
Private(?) with rich parents
what pretty things can give (or) what pretty things can we get.


Tschüss!

EDIT: Edited for actual words... There were a few lines that I got wrong.

I've been listening to this song ever since you posted it and I feel happier and more balanced than I have my entire life. Coincidentally, I have been having a lot of minor hallucinations and the advice I get from the miniature ghosts in my shower has been awful.

Carmin! This song totally makes my day....Krawall und remmidemmi! Oddly enought I have also been having minor hallucinations involving miniature ghosts...although I think that may have something to do with the black mold (I feel your pain!) that is taking over the shower in my flat!

Hope all is well on zee continent! Let's plan to meet soooooon!
