"Franz Mayer Experience" by Kulturbesen in Scene 64

The band from Rottweil can look back on impressive successes. Sold-out concerts, enthusiastic audiences, and finally, in October, a celebrated performance at the Stuttgart Schleyerhalle during the closing party for the SWR Hit Parade. Featuring Alex Köberlein and his Rottweiler band Der Schwoissfuass – Grachmusikoff singer Alex Köberlein has a new band and a mission: to bring world hits back in their Swabian original! – It has always been suspected, always known. Most of the major hits in pop history have been stolen. Simply copied from originally Swabian songs from the last century. Especially American and English occupying soldiers took whatever they could. This led to world hits like "Rebel Yell," "Locomotive Breath," or "Baker Street," while the original music from the Swabian underground almost faded into obscurity. What was praised as cool, almost surrealistic English-language pop lyrics is, in truth, just a poor translation of the Swabian original. For example, the clear statement "Dein Vaddr war n harda Hond" became the rather tame "Papa was a Rolling Stone." This should now be set right.
