Ok, for the record, I’m a Microsoft Fanboy through and through buuuuuut I was shown this video and the PS3 equivalent and loved them! If you listen all the way, it’s funny as hell! xD

I’d laugh…and admit that the 360 song was hilarious (because it was)…but my xbox hasn’t experienced the RROD yet…and I don’t want to push my luck and jinx myself. :stuck_out_tongue:

Nena is one of Germany’s most successful Pop singers. She’s been (almost consistently) popular for 30+ years. I have clue why, though.

Here’s her modern version:

And if you’re brave enough, haven’t eaten anything, then you might want to try watching the original version:

:stuck_out_tongue:

That’s surprising that she is still so popular with the wide array of modern German bands: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eJL7_vz4fk :stuck_out_tongue:

What’s wrong with fine, solid Metal? You just can’t tell quality from garbage! :injured:

At least she doesn’t have to go through a computer to make har singing bearable to listen to, unlike most pop singers these days. :slight_smile: I’m more into hard electronic music myself, but AC/DC, Megaherz, et al. certainly does make for nice listening too.

@Andrew - nice list :tup:

@stalking - eh…I was here first :rofl: besides, im supervising the little SitePoint babies :smiley:

@kohoutek - I always liked her original :sing:

@recanlago37 - That’s one of the things that we call fluff… so make sure you don’t do it very often :wink:

No, I actually like that band alot. Their one of my favorites. I just wish I could understand what they’re saying. :wink: :stuck_out_tongue:

Heh, I didn’t know she was still popular. Can you recommend any other similar popular German pop bands / groups? I’m also into Japanese pop music :smiley:

I really like that 2009 version but I can’t find any single / album on iTunes dated for 2009 or even 2008 for Nena. And what’s wrong with the original :p? The only thing that’s unbearable is the dancing and them jeans she’s wearing! Ugh! I cringed a couple of times! Haha.

Heh, thanks. And awww googoogaagaa I’m a SitePoint baby!! -throws IE6 plush teddy on the floor and at the wall- waaaaaa!!! get away stupid teddy!!

Have you guys and girls seen the PS3 Song too? That’s also pretty damn funny…The thing is, I don’t have a PS3 :smiley: Mwahaha!

Andrew Cooper

you …dont…have… a… ps3!! :eek2: omg…this is so like …scandalous!!

and btw, dont throw ur teddies around :smashy:

I had a PlayStation One and a PlayStation 2…But PS3 looks too clunky and big and just…Ugh! I’ve held one and it doesn’t feel good to be honest. Why, are you saying you have a PS3?! …That’s scandalous!

Can’t I even throw IE6 around?! I love all my teddies but IE6 teddy scares me! It makes me angry everytime I see it…I don’t want it near my other new teddies. It might infect them! :frowning:

Andrew Cooper

eh of course I have a ps3 :rolleyes: jeeeze…kids these days :hush:

thats not a teddy, that IE6 is an evil lil possessed demon robot :eek2: run!!
