Dresden Dolls - Eisbär - Live Hamburg

[ingrimmsch66]

Amazing good ^^

[Kryp2ni8]

So many people died near the Trainstation Zürich Letten . . it's still a shame !

[Kryp2ni8]

AJZ  . . Zürich !

[Kryp2ni8]

But this is not a traditional german song . . it is a traditional swiss song . . stephane eicher and co. !

[marsrendezvous]

In comparison to the Nouvelle Vague singer she speaks flawless Hochdeutsch.

[odoanna]

Her German's more than halfway decent as well...

[justwatching777]

der wahnsinn

[Laurent75017]

very similar to the original song ; I like both !

[harryberger65]

lol - this is why the world is going down - first of all its a Swiss Song - second its about polar bears and you'll never see a penguin and a polar bear together. but what the hell...you can't know everything.

[otterboi26]

That was AWESOME!!!!!!!! Love the intro to the song itself, nothing like picturing rolling penguins on an icy tundra.

[DavOsicO]

Beautiful song (L) and cover ^^ ;)

[PaNiKoS69]

le suena hermoso a ella!! ^^ buen cover.

[olibaba24]

i love this song *-*

[hommeboynet]

oh my fucking god. i can't believe they covered this.

[OdinCalls14]

Her german is pretty good.

[wheeeneee]

how is this a traditional german song?^^ anways awesome :D

[CreatureofMasquerade]

@wheeeneee she always says that lol. for the ''i want you but i dont need you'' cover she said it was a traditional scottish song

[Watcheroftheskye]

@MHGW . . stephan eicher . . grauzone

[Olekander]

hilarious

[MHGW]

"Eisbär" aus der Schweiz!!!

Wer hat´s erfunden??? - Genau!

[zombiefeast78]

Way better than Nouvelle Vague's crappy attempt. I actually quite like the Dolls.

[MsToolboxx]

uuaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh­hh thank god she is making music!!!!

[LovexXxIlusion]

wow, her german is nearly perfect!

i'm really fucking amazed right now O.o

anyway, it's a great cover.

[nsk666]

Excellent!

[idearn]

0:35 - Isn't that what a tent is about ?!? - A movable house... AFP I've tried but I can't see what is so "f**d up" about that....

[bdegress]

Viva Knut!

[Richygoth]

Realmente un buen cover de una de las bandas de culto Grauzone!!!

Saludos!

[Vuurengel]

WOW! Awesome :O

[Habibasse]

One of the greatest versions of this song.

But, of course... what do you expect from Dresden Dolls ? To make a bad song ?!

[haendel8a]

her pronounciation of german is nearly accentfree!

But she is from the US right? ;P

Really surprised because usually americans have a thick accent when they talk German

[nietzschewagnerband]

She used to live in Germany! Cheers

[phatjesus008]

ze germans?

[chewbacscar]

Ja grauzone ist Swheiz.

[onestep1984]

soweit ich weiß war "grauzone" keine deutsche sondern eine schweizer band, aber das lied ist ja auf deutsch. ich liebe die dresden dolls und find es jedesmal wieder cool wenn sie das lied spielen.

[Chrisentiger]

Really a cool band, and I like this cover of "Eisbär" too. Would like to see them live one day

[sweetfranx]

Amanda is so cool! ;-)

very well done, she almost has no accent (and I am German and know the original song)! I am so proud of her atm. Want to see her live!!! OK, Brian can join her, if he wants to. ;-)

[dumohammed]

amazing... and really a bit accent, but not much... wow !!!

[thesuspiciouspenguin]

she sounds drunk haha at the beginning. Maybe she's nervous or something. Anywho I like their music so don't count this as spam.

[NShufflebottom]

Great! If you like Amanda, please check out the "I Love You, Amanda Palmer" video by Vic Torian & the Newgate Knockers ...

[Baumschaender]

cooles Cover

[MistresseTristesse]

i love the cover. cool thing. she is such a great piano-player, she didn't mess up anything. just try to play it yourself before complaining about messing up. it's not that easy as it maybe looks. and it would be great to know some reasons why she "messed it up". i can easily write "crappy" as a comment here on youtube a thousand times

[DarkSickie]

Hmja, gute cover... remains the use of voice of the singing ..I think that's important with this song

[rayolacer]

omg my god i love this fucking song i had no idea dresden dolls had done a cover

[doctorwhonico]

I don't blame her making this cover. Probably she loves the song like I do. And it seems she has a lot of fun doing it! That's what matters. And it's not that bad...

[EvenMoreDelicious1]

she fucked the song up

[culbeni]

what's the problem of the audience with France ?

I would be ashamed if a french audience would do so about any foreign country

nice cover by the way

[mathegudrun]

I  have been at the concert. I had the feeling that it was not against France but just sadness to let them leave at all.

[ThePoisonDoor]

What the hell?!

I love that song... no idea they covered it - not bad either

[lengarion]

„Traditional German song" - well, unfortunately "Grauzone" is no German band, they're from Switzerland.

[brehmse]

but the song is sung in german?

[lengarion]

Indeed, German is one of Switzerlands official languages.

But a song from an american band is no traditional British song either.

[NeuroticAlien]

wonderful song...

gänsehaut ;)

[cheesecakedeath]

can someone post the german lyrics

[MCslowmow]

Ich möchte ein Eisbär sein im kalten Polar

Dann müßte ich nicht mehr schrei'n

Alles wär' so klar

Eisbär'n müssen nie weinen

[cheesecakedeath]

she looks like shes having so much fun

[Seppells]

I would marry her any time ^^

[ruwn]

finally get to see them this year^^

hope they´ll play it again

couldn´t stop singin it for two weeks after i saw it for the first time^^

[richardfanx3]

GREAT!! :)

[PandasEatingPeople]

omg!! i was soo thinking someone should quack... and at 1:57 someone did...

[ruwn]

what the fuck? call cnn

[24hfrozen]

i love this song. and i love amanda too! :))

[digga10553]

geil:) lg melly

[rosdu56]

Why do people say "hou" when she tell's she's going to France ??????? Bande de naze !

[narval59]

parce qu'ils veulent pas la voir partir ! et c'est tout ! c'est pas parce qu'elle vient en France, mais uniquement parce qu'elle part...

[zebonaut]

Relaaaaaaax! She provoked it a little by the way she put it..Nothing to worry about.

[Llokky]

i love her german accent! God, i love Amanda, she is so original in everything she does!

[kashjjj]

kalter klarer Eisbär

[SMHRS8]

Ich liebe Die Dresden Puppen!!!

Heh, "Puppen", lol.

Yes I'm a little bit immature =Þ

Was auch immer...

[themodernorpheus]

Ich möchte ein Eisbär sein!!

[BasementBarbie]

OMG! Ich liebe Amanda <3<3<3

[subterrabln]

Toll! Thanx for posting!! ^^

[SirHuckenden]

This is awesome, Amanda and Brian are soooo underrated!!

[Milkshake85]

oh wie niedlich XD

[steffetish]

!!! LOL !!! puant le déo plat.. : )

[hesaiddestroy]

Yeah^^ Da war ich

[gorecki24]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

[Wabals]

Awsome if you go to their webpage the downloads section you can get a live copy form a different show......

[columbiacoins]

Just when I thought I had seen all the DDs...the strobes & her face when she hits those high notes after, smokin'...& freakin' tight man! AP RULES!!!

[columbiacoins]

This is a hot video!!!!

[misoniii]

is this song on one of their albums or do they only do it live?

[Konsumkind]

the cover of eisbär isn't released on any record or single. they just played it live in germany and austria

[misoniii]

thanks

[toiphl]

vielleicht meint sie aber auch "german" als sprache... tjo, gibt halt länder, die keine eigene sprache haben, sondern sich von den nachbarstaaten bedienen müssen ;P

"sprache? ach nee, da verhalte ich mich mal neutral, und sprech wie die anderen..."

aber, in der tundra gibts tatsächlich keine pinguine, die wohnen im süden. gibt sie ja auch in afrika (wie der film madagaskar ja bewiesen hat xD).

[bagdad100]

voll das coole lied wow

[elzosmid]

There are no f****g penguins where polar bears are.

[alukauzpurnis]

Hu kerz?

[elzosmid]

Hu? The president of China? Why?

[alukauzpurnis]

Hahaha, I meant to say 'Who cares'!

[elzosmid]

'Who'? Must be one of the penguins. I bet, théy care!

Wonderful song b.t.w.

[itchykami]

Penguins can do anything if they put their mind to it. Maybe nobody told him as a child 'You can't live with polar bears.' And now his best friend is Tim the Polar Bear, they wanted to get together and make a family, but for one thing, Polar Bear society isn't advanced enough to accept that, and for another, until Penguinian genetics advances, it will be impossible for them to mate and make a polar penguear.

[flatthg]

@itchykami LOL

[DerHutmacher]

is das süß :D

[opalkoboi23]

oh, this is sooooooo sweet^^ i love it=]

[dasklapptjanie]

xD wie geil die aussprache is very funny^^

[cstettler]

a traditional german song, nonono, the best ever swiss song by GRAUZONE!

[OhNoAHyaena]

I think it was a joke; Amanda's a huge New Wave fan.

It's odd how this one has (+3) yet a different copy of this comment has (-1).

Also, i can't imagine playing piano in a strobe light.

[cstettler]

"... traditional german song...". nonono, maybe the best ever swiss song from GRAUZONE! LISTEN THE ZE ORIGINAL!

[cstettler]

"...a traditional german song..."? maybe the best song ever from switzerland, GRAUZONE. LISTEN TO ZE ORIGINAL!

[Devildogsbitch]

ok drawn on lol my bad!

[VaM4life]

Heres a rough translation for you

Polar bear, cold ice

I want to be a polar bear

at the cold poles

Then I wouldn't have to yell

everything would be so clear

Polar bears never have to cry

x

[Coulditbetwolittle]

They are EXCELLENT performers

[crazyperrainfeliz]

[HardcoreStulle]

[t3l3w1z0r]

[xPaperBagPrincess]

[MistressOfFilth]

i love this song, its awsome.

[schnoeddel]

"Eisbär" was the first single of "Grauzone" in the 80's. But Grauzone are swiss not german!!!!!

[kassettenrecorder]

no, this song isn't about fun at all

[arcthrower]

Ya . She just great. The duo is great. There all ive been thinking about since I got on you tube. Im becoming hooked. I guess like a lot people. And you know what. Thats a good think. They seem like a descent bunch of talented people. Not bunch of washed up meth heads with no teath a tattoos, that degerate all over the place. Im proud of them. For staying honest.

[coldestjumper]

nice comment.

[Devildogsbitch]

then u havent seen amanda's face her eye brows are tattooed on and above her eye lids are tattooed lol

[ryroluver]

They are NOT tattoos! She draws them on every day

[Devildogsbitch]

her eye brows though?...eye lids yeah maybe...but i'm pretty sure her eye brows are tattoos!...

[ryroluver]

they arent tattoos.i know.

[mousebiscuit]

if you watch the video for "girl anachronism" you can actually see her drawing them on.

so definitely not tats.

[Zarathustra12]

Franz is a Bavarian first name and not popular in Northern Germany.

[Funkmeister06]

Was laberst du für einen Blödsinn? Bist du ein Ami das ein derartiger Bullshit deine kauleiste verlassen muss?

Dont listen to that fool...damn idiot

[Funkmeister06]

Was laberst du für einen Blödsinn? Bist du ein Ami das ein derartiger Bullshit deine kauleiste verlassen muss?

Dont listen to that fool...damn

[DeinKoenig]

wunderschönes lied.

[dinkel34]

tventy hamburg - mein leben, meine stadt

tventy . de

[replicas79]

die sollen Gary Numan's "Down in the park" mal covern....! eisbär! die 80er waren sooooo geil!

[olafkon]

Since when do penguin sounds contribute to an atmosphere that assist imaging polar bears? Comm'on!

[roxyluver]

I dunno but it's cute :3

[sadi3]

cool

[haha1ha]

there are four languages in swizzerland: german, swizz german (dialect), french, italian

[ElPreSidentEE]

Die Dresden Puppen sind scho leiwand :)

[nmerchantlasershow]

gay

[lovemysio]

hahaha

they speak german in swizzerland,

you're funny;D

[AutomanicJack]

in switzerland they speak German and French

[envirohodges]

don't be a pompous language ass. technicly they speak german in switzerland. i hate when assholes think just because they speak a different dialect thiers is better. Thats like saying southern americans don't speak english they speak hick, and my personally favorite (not!) that canadians don't speak french. stop begin a dumbass, evolve damn it.

[Zarathustra12]

excellent! And her German is fine. She studied abroad at Regensburg, didn't she?

[AutomanicJack]

stupid Bitch .. its a Swiss song , not from Germany

[AutomanicJack]

and the stupid german audience dont know either

[freeforblow]

Austrians=dumb douchebags;)

[chemicalsmiles]

so wait, like, it's a Swiss song... but it's in German?

[OhNoAHyaena]

mmm, yeah, Switzerland is a multilingual country (like most in the world), and Deutsche is one the main languages there, as is Francais. German is spoken in a lot of countries, actually. Even Central Texas has its own dialect. So do your homework before insulting a great performer as well as my people, scheissekopf.

[kindasport]

Deutsche?

das heisst schwizertütsch!!

[75104]

ich denke schon das sie weiß was sie singt, immerhin hat sie ja schon in deutschland gelebt.

[CapitolP]

ein riesen auftritt, am deutsch kann man ja wohl wirklich nicht meckern, wenn mans nicht wüsste könnte man schon fast meinen sie wäre deutsche, vielleicht mitm miniakzent.

[Konsumkind]

@Haihaeppchen:

Um es mit den Worten von Dieter Nuhr zu sagen:

"Wenn man keine Ahnung hat: Einfach mal Fresse halten."

[Stein234]

@Konsumkind: Das tat gut...:-)

danke fürs vid!

[autobahn303]

i miss the bass lines....but is ok....grauzone ...mermelade un himbereis....great band....

[Haihaeppchen]

ich könnt sie in der luft zerreisen, was bildet sie sich ein dieses lied zu klaun hat sie keine eigenen ideen diese bitch, die will sich doch nur einschleimen.die hat doch keine ahnung was sie da überhaupt singt. BITCH

[sondio]

Ze lied ist zo wie zo schlecht, zow do nuts getz carried away. Dresden Dolls ist eine geile originale band, und dan spielt sie ein tribute, zu den Deutschen zuschauern. Und du kackst ab.

And there are some people who says that the pray of sharks do not have emotions!!

ps. English is about 60-70% German, so i do think she knows what she is singing.

Eisbär contra Icebear, if you get my drift.

[ginagat]

no it isn't, both german and english are made up of latin and acient greek

[materialfehler123]

german and english are not purely made up of latin and ancient greek.

in fact, both languages are germanic languages like skandinavian languages (without finnish).

ancient greek and latin (like french) strongly influenced every germanic lanugage; E and G are influenced, but still germanic languages.

(my english is quite bad now i no longer study it, but you get the point, i hope)

[ginagat]

yeah i do, not purely...just mostly.

[FranklenWylder]

Ihr Englisch ist tatsächlich ziemlich gut!

[roxyluver]

Yeah, I could get some of it without looking at a translation :)

[riserobot]

Do yourself a favor, and do what it takes to obtain Grauzone "Die Sunrise Tapes".

[zzzackzzz]

What a surprise, I didnot know that the Eisbär went to Boston! ;) cool..

[Aergli]

Super, ^^ ist echt gut =) =) Dresden Dolls sind geil!

[eicidora]

Thank you so much that you captured it!!! I LOVE the cover version of them soo much!! thanks, thanks, thanks.

[alacon22]

[lavimdida]

[Rabebaikal]

die fette Qualle sollte die Finger von dem Lied lassen

[Buxbaum666]

Fuck off and die.

[vriesli]

[jazzyvibe]
