"America is Wonderful"

[alfador]

Good wallpaper.

[dabozz]

America is wonderful, the song is about the influence america has on the rest of the world, "We're all living in America", the video is awesome IMO, has to be seen, else the lyrics might seem a bit, ehm.. dull, dunno, ofcuz most of the song is in German so it might be hard to understand for some people. :)

Lyrics can be found on this site (not my site tho!)

Yeah... wunderbar... :devil: ............................................ :whistle:

Read the lyrics, translate and understand ...

Nice wall, btw :)

Get rid of the borders and it will be ok, eventhough im not american.

[cmove]

Huh i don't like it

[sukamusiru]

Are those the lyrics on the right side? I'd like it more if it didn't look like a Photoshop filter or two..

[dabozz]

Yeah those are the lyrics, or some of it anyways. Well I was kinda wondering if I should put it in finished walls or not, then decided I was fairly happy with it as it is.. No doubt I have been using filters, haven't tried to deny it either! :p Well, thanks for your responses guys!

It's sarcastic. While they're singing "we're all living in america", the guys are dressed up in US space suits fumbling around with the american flag while trying to read directions. The monks come out of their temple carrying a huge Coke and a cheeseburger. Toward the end of the song in one of the choruses where is usually says "... america - ist wunderbar" they say "coca cola, and sometimes war". The song pokes fun at the US from what I can tell, but in all the areas that we deserve it. I'll listen to it some more and try to get a translation.

Yeah very sarcastic! tho I read this in an interview in a Dutch magazine, ?Aardschok? (Hard Rock MagazinThen Richard talks about the song ?Amerika?, no political meaning in there, but the Americans have a tendency to ?keep on driving? and R+ thought it was time that someone hit the breaks real hard.al hard.

I paid special attention to the flag part too! and the phrase "This is not a love song&quo:D....! :D

On a side note; gotta love the drum:devil:33; :devil:

[alfador]

Definitely! I also noticed that they make the moon landing out to be a production. It made me think of my grandma, who still to this day does not believe that we went to the moon.

Agreed (Y)

I grabbed some stills of the video. Fumbling with the flag/directions, the monks eating fast food, a shot of Till in the space suit, and the band playing "Star Trek" pinball on the moon.
