Heino (himself), the avenging angel of German Volksmusik, retaliates.
Tired of being verarscht (spoofed) by everybody else in the German music industry (and just about everywhere else, for that matter), he has now begun a winter offensive by offending bands like Rammstein and Die Ärzte. By covering their songs, I mean.
They clearly never saw it coming. And word is they don’t like it. The Spießer (bourgeois squares).
Der Schlagerbarde singt die Lieder derer, die ihn bisher so gern verhöhnten. Aber wehren können sie sich dagegen nicht.

Evening prayer des Blödelbarden Otto
“Lieber Gott, schenke doch….
und zum Schluß, bin doch nicht dumm, dreh Heino noch die Gurgel um.”
The video is blocked in Germany! “This video contains content from Mediengruppe RTL Deutschland, who has blocked it on copyright grounds.”
Same in the US. Damn, they’re quick…
But maybe that’s a good thing.
When is Heino going back to Vegas? He really did sing there a couple of years ago.
Damn. Can’t find anything else except this.
