Great tune. But how can it be considered a performance when it was lip synced and none of the instruments were plugged in.and no mics. Unless u count the dancing as a performance.
saw them at Plymouth top Rank .. The top of Union Street one winters eve in England - Never seen so many punch ups . The bouncers kept running into the crowd dressed in marron velvet jackets to split up fights. Then dissappear . 2 minutes later it would all kick off again. All the way through...the gig. In the end they just stayed and joinedd in the punch ups..
Great stuff! This is from when pop had a bit of balls, didn't mind taking risks and having fun. they'd have been booted off the first audition of BGT or X-Factor cos nobody would know what to do with them.
There is unemployment misery despair Really want to leave my trouble I'm going to the fair Love is getting rough oh yes i know Excuse me but I've got to go There is a word in German and I think it says it all main: wunderbar wunderbar wunderbar wunderbar 2x wunderbar You run the risk of being a bore Tell me all about that nuclear war I don't wanna sing to the fuhrer God knows! There is a word in German and i think it says it all main :D

@TheDjmurray123 i was\21 when this came out,remember 100s of pissed up brits singing along to this over and over in a pub in tenerife, passing german tourists wondering what the feck was going on. , music and life was a ball in the 80s . thank god im not 21 today, x-factor ? ? ?
You clever barsteward ;) no one cud tell the difference in a 15 second advert haha - would of been a really catchy advert, humming the song al day like you do lol...
Eddie and the boys show that(well Idon't swear but --- Ant Ant)that use image and writing good songs can go together.A truely underrated band something we need a modern versions of.
I recommend the ramones, the Clash, the Undertonnes , the damned, the stranglers, stiff little fingers,the jam and x ray specs. The most similar band to this that I know is Adam and the ants
Didn't u realize it was just a JOKE? No??? JUST A JOKE! Well, some R hopeless, u no...So don't drink ur fuckin' Coca-Cola; otherwise u'll loose the rest of ur fuckin' american brain cells!
I vaguly remember this. I remember "Wunderbar" but in 'america', this song was called that but these guys on the cover were all 'vikings' on a ship, or maybe they were just on a ship...on the cover. I was in elementary school when I discovered this...
This song just makes me feel happy!!! I was in my second but last year in high school(1981) in Australia and my mate rang up 2JJJ( an Oz station) and got it played. When you're 16 years old it's a big thing to have a request played on the radio!!!
Oh Oh & what well if i ever . This is brings back soooooooooo many memorys of the school disco back in 1981 . Jumping around & purposefully accedently crashing into the nearest unsuspecting Female . Abosolutely (WUNDERBAR) !!!!!!
Oh-My-God! Lovely! This was a smashing hit when I graduated high school. I still say "fuck you, math teacher" ;-) (that just happened to be the last guy before this song was blasted all over the school yard!)
Actualy its... There is unemployment misery despair Really want to LOSE MY JOB IM GOING TO THE FAIR LIFE is getting rough o yes i know Excuse me but I've got to go There is a man in germany he can send a tool wunderbar wunderbar wunderbar wunderbar 2x wunderbar YOU RUN THE RISK OF BEING A BORE TELLING me all about A nuclear war I DONT wanna sing to THE fuhrer OH NO!
LOL im loving the guitariest. Hes got awesome sideburns... And I totally went to a club a few weeks ago and rocked the tight jeans, vest and bandanna on the leg look... I would have been so cool in 1980.
doc martins were for people who parents had enough money to afford em (and yes they did have the trendy-wendy label at the back)10,12or 14 eyelets,the high higher they go the more you know,any body know major domo the concurrent for doc marten,just affordable but shit?and then there was the hob-nail marching (kick-to-kill,full of blakeys)handed down from father or a present from the space cadets
I kept insisting to one of my mates that Air Wair DMs didn't used to have a little label sticking out of the back but he wouldn't have it. This video proves me right. I think.
Punk wasn't about dressing like the Sex Pistols or singing songs like theirs. It was about being *yourself*. Dressing and singing how *you* wanted to.
And Tenpole Tudor were *supposed* to be silly, so your comment has some irony.,
"There is unemployment misery despair..." oh god,what was this v/early 80s...here we go again then....does that mean its time for Eddie, Bob, Dick and Gary to reform!?
This is the best thing I heard for ages, and just look how stylish they all are, Vivienne Westwood could not of dressed Edward "Tudor-Pole" any better....or did she??
