I recently dicovered Nina. I have to say she has unbelievable control of the voice. bravo

[electrickabuki]

@SamaraInUSA if you think she has control, check out Yma Sumac. !!! there's plenty on here.

[MrK2345]

[2tonsolid]

[Traigame2cervezas]

[kirou007]

wtf is this....



[TheGuitarguru13]

i tell you we must die

[cheeseload5]

lol



[KhmerD0g]

fucking drag queer queen #LOL

[Traigame2cervezas]

@KhmerD0g It's a woman :|

[TheManray05]

@KhmerD0g Nina Hagen is neither queer nor a drag queen. You, OTOH - are merely an asshole and a nobody.

[KhmerD0g]

@TheManray05

u are jealous because u are not a fag like nina. therefore u must die. i tell u must die. lol

[TheManray05]

@KhmerD0g Actually, I am a fag. I guess I get to live. lol. but, not a fag like Nina.

[bobomchobo]

@IchBinDominic WWWWWWWWWWRONG!

[bobomchobo]

@pogleswood2 WRONG!

[jejune14]

This is the closest to the original intent of the song since Lotte Lenya. Even better than Lenya. Hagen was born to sing Weill.

[WeithintermMond]

@jejune14 very true,she is brilliant, an extraordinary talented singer.

[kareemsalim]

@jejune14 we must also thanks to the great german anti-establishment songwriter-singer Wolf Biermann..!!!

[madsketcher]

DOLLAHS!

[stripedhyenuh]

Totally spot on. You'd almost expect her to Ninahagenize (?) it, but it's a very good, very Brechtian performance of the song. Lotte and Kurt would be proud.

[fizzyfizzz]

just wondering out loud ... imagine if klaus nomi did brecht

[transfixedtornado]

Nina is really who she is, it always amazes me. No fake

[MrJOELPARIS]

Quel talent Nina... quel talent....

[tojotawizaz]

Nina is the best

[rubino83]

She really sings it the way I picture it should be, with that "I tell you vee must DIE". =P

[luchianoxxx]

God save the queen !! :-)

I prefer Dalida's version though ;-)

[bexigah]

When I saw this, powded under dextrometorfan, I just watched my life, i dont know why ( I born at 80's)

[PainMonkey]

Man......opera got hit by the 80's too?

[druidgnome]

If she wants boys, she can have me any day!

[oklapi]

No, it wasn't lol

[pogleswood2]

I agree with you neonsellei

[neonselleri]

Nina is awesome

[tiranchula]

I forgot all about Nina Hagen! Cool clip!

[orlandoswoolf]

she sings it soooooooooooooooo deeeeeeep :P :-D

[bj70117]

Jameson works.

[LookStreepInMyEyes]

wow thta amazing.....she is soo great!!!!!!!!

[neoreanna]

cool girl! her face looks like a NŌ mask of Japanese theatre..

...what an amazing song by Kurt Weill! I Love it!  not bad also the version by David Bowie.

[WoodRatGirl]

I agree neoreanna.

Nina is definitely one of a kind and thanks for reminding me about the Bowie version.

I forgot he covered this.

[neoreanna]

Your welcome.. enjoy it!

[mattstank]

Well many people don't realize that Hey Joe wasn't written by Hendrix, and Knockin on Heaven's Door wasn't written by GN'R.

In my opinion a cover can't be better than the original. But out of all the covers, The Doors' version was by far the best.

[drwunder]

one of my fav song ever. can never replace lotte lenya's version but god what a pleasure to see nina hagen covering it.

[manuelsylvain]

my favourite pinky dool singer

love for ever ...smack

[lestersghost]

"Alabama Song" was originally published in Bertolt Brecht's Hauspostille (1927). It was set to music by Kurt Weill for the 1927"Singspiel" Mahagonny and used again in Weill's and Brecht's 1930 opera "Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny".

[drwunder]

it's funny how people are totally missing decades of culture... reminds me of how many people think that 'Fever' is actually an original Madonna song.... poor us...

[oklapi]

Omg... SO true

I find it intriguing/scary.... ?

How did it happen ? Narcissism Culture.... Navel Gazing and not looking at anything outself of self ?

It creeps me the fuck out

[stobert1]

original is from the doors? lol

[YamatoIshidaLover]

No, the original is from Bertold Brecht and Kurt Weill..

[Freshlinens]

How did she become so beautiful!!!!!

[MiamiMase]

TRUE ART

[kriimuline]

She's Nina Hagen.

She sings with emotion. She tells you the story while singing.

It's not BAD. maybe bit unusual for some people.

[madsketcher]

Right.

[heartlander]

Impressing... what a diva...

[Anibaal]

iNTERESANTE concierto de Nina Hagen. Dónde se consigue?????-----------------

[spacemoOnkeyy]

Where did you get this!? I found it on a blog once but it isn't there anymore =(

[52barney]

Has little to do with Morrison but

much to to with Brecht/Weill.

[madsketcher]

Yeah, I now realize that after some research :)

[truthspeaker2000]

woot ! this has to be really rare, never heard it before...

[madsketcher]

Fantastic! I never thought that I'd hear her do this song. I know she's a big fan of Jim Morrison. Please tell me that you have the entire show!
