Die Toten Hosen „Tage wie diese"


Quite possibly the most popular and successful bands in the German speaking world. They've been around for 30+ years and are still rocking and relavent. Mainly a punk band (out of Düsseldorf), they changed gears and have a smash hit on their hands with this song. I love it. I love it even more when I can understand the lyrics. Here is the gist of the song:
"I’ve waited weeks for this day and I’m dancing on the asphalt with joy as if it were a rhythm, as if it were a song that keeps luring me through the streets on my way to you, to pick you up, as we had agreed: at the same time, the same place as last time.  
"On days like these, you wish it would never end. On days like these, we still have all the time in the world. I wish it would never end."
Great band. Great song. Fun-ass video.
