I don't speak German, but music crosses language barriers for sure. That fact was proven internationally this year with the crazy success of Gangam Style. On a smaller level, it will be proven after you watch this video that is ridiculously catchy despite the fact that most of you watching it probably have no idea what they're saying. I do know the title is "Please, Please (A Table Concert)".
I have to comment on my favorite part of the song, too. It only lasts for a second, but it makes the video in my opinion. At 1:32 in the video, the guy playing the bottles quotes the most famous part of the "William Tell Overture". It's just so clever that's it's dropped in there.
Note: I looked up a translated video to understand it, and I kind of regretted it, because it takes away a lot from the flow of the vocals; however, if you really want to know, you can watch the last video in this post.
The band is from Cologne, Germany. It is made up of six members, each going by the name Engine I, Engine II, etc. The instrumentation is vocals, guitar, drums, bass, keys, and one member covering "on-board computer/percussion/beats/vocals. It's probably not something that would catch on big time in the US, but the grouped is singed with Warner Music, so, we may be hearing from them soon. You can check out what the tune sounds like live with a full set below.
