Was in Germany in 1999 to visit my brother who was stationed there. We could not get away from Lou Bega.

TBH, you could’ve been anywhere in the world in 99 and wouldn’t have been able to get away from Lou Bega

Isn't pop music everywhere kind of trash though? Despacito was also massive in the US, as was Gangnam style. Why is it just the Germans?

Massive? Never heard of it

Those were legitimate bops. Pop music can have value.

What song?
FullSpeedAhead
As a youngster I recall a hit song in Japanese called "Sukiyaki". No one could tell me what it meant but they could all sing the chorus.

As a little kid I used to sing many Japanese songs without knowing the meaning of a single word (they were mostly anime themes).

camisa negra is awful but Righeira are not so bad (I have a thing for synth music).

also, they are Italian, not Spanish.

Is "camisa negra" (black shirt) a political reference in Spain too or it's just a coincidence?
Mediumtim2
Not at all, it's a song about political prisoners.
GregusScottus
David Hasselhoff is a legendary singer there. The pop taste sucks ass. However, Berlin puts out tons of awesome underground stuff.
Anhor
"The Hoff" was always bigger in the US than in Germany. Don't put that on us, please. There are plenty of other things you can point to!
gtsr
Since you're German, what does Hasselhoff means?
ChronicD
As an actor, sure. As a singer/live performer? You're taking the piss for sure.
BasilPembroke
+1 for “taking the piss”
ThisIsThePlaceWhereIBelong
David can hassel right back hoff to US.
kortex
He had a few hits 30 years ago. I don't get why Americans think he is still popular in Germany.
GregusScottus
Because the level of his fame there for his music was incredible, it wasn’t just a few hits. The US likes Bieber, who sucks at least as much
kortex
still: 30 years ago! my younger sisters literally don't know who he is.
GregusScottus
Well that is encouraging!
MrCcnt
People love the sound and "lyrics" of nearly every spanish song, but basically do not understand a single word of it...
Letsplaygoodkittybadkitty
As a german, i can confirm and i hate it. Don't like the popmusic today and the "summerhits" either.

The german taste in popular music is awful. They would dance around a car alarm if someone was singing along with it.

If you say "DU..." In a low voice, most Americans over 20 would answer with "DU HAST MICH!" and start singing along with you.

They're famous among metalheads, and pretty much everyone 20 or older knows of them. Or at least that "Du hast" bit.

Since the 90s? Where have you been? They were in the news multiple times because of their newer music videos. "Too controversial" they say.
