International Music 2 - Die Toten Hosen (Germany)


I first discovered Die Toten Hosen when a friend of mine went on a high school German exchange program. When her friend came over here, she brought a bunch of music for her brothers. Once I got my hands on a copy of the cassette, it was then that I knew I would be listening to Die Toten Hosen many years down the road. The first song I ever heard by them is "Hier Kommt Alex." I was blown away, and imagine my excitement many years later when a friend texted me as soon as he found out "Hier Kommt Alex" was available for download in the Rock Band games.
My friend's brother and I did go check them out a couple years after I discovered them when they opened for Green Day on their "Dookie" tour. I would love to play a video of theirs but I find them kind of cheesy. So here is a clip of them live, which is much better. Enjoy Wünsch Dir Was, which I believe loosely translated means something like, "What's your wish."
