Nina Hagen - Ballroom Blitz Live Rock in Rio

Nina Hagen - Ballroom Blitz Live Rock in RioIn 2000, her song Schön ist die Welt became the official song of Expo 2000. Another cover of a Zarah Leander song "Der Wind hat mir ein Lied erzählt" was a minor hit the same year. The album The Return of the Mother was released in February 2001, accompanied by another German tour. In 2001 she collaborated with Rosenstolz and Marc Almond on the single Total eclipse/Die schwarze Witwe that reached #22 in Germany.

Hagen dubbed the voice of Sally in the German release of Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, and she has also done voice work on the movie Hot Dogs by Michael Schoemann. Hagen has been featured on songs by other bands, for instance on Oomph!'s song "Fieber". She did a cover of Rammstein's "Seemann" with Apocalyptica. Later albums include Big Band Explosion, in which she sang numerous swing covers with her then husband, Danish singer and performer, Lucas Alexander. This was followed by Heiß, a greatest hits album. Her most recent album, Journey to The Snow Queen, is more of an audio book—she reads the Snow Queen fairy tale with Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker in the background. In 2005 Nina Hagen headlined the Drop Dead Festival in New York City. Hagen has been an active protester against the war in Iraq. In 2006 she was a part of the Popstars team. She is a vegetarian.[4] In August 2009 she was baptized in the Protestant Reformed church of Schüttorf.

@TheSunnyGirl83 Die ist nie im Leben besser als "The Sweet". Die Frau kann einfach keine Musik machen, bzw die Band. Das ist doch einfach nur grausam. Das schlimmste was ich je gehört habe. Abgesehen davon, es gibt keine gute Cover Band die Sweet nachspielen können. Nichtmal Andy Scott oder Steve Priest schaffen es, so zu klingen wie in den 1970'ern. Es fehlen Brian und Mick. So eine Stimmen Konstellation, wird es nie wieder geben. Fuck Off Nina, that's not Punk.

Amazing performance. Is it really necessary for the "yeah" subtitles?
