Du Hast Den Farbfilm Vergessen
"" (translation: You Forgot The Colour Film) is a pop single written by Michael Heubach (music) and Kurt Demmler (lyrics). It was first performed by East German (GDR) punk artist Nina Hagen and her band Automobil (of which Heubach was the keyboardist), released in 1974 prior to Hagen's punk career.

The song reached the top places of the East German music charts in 1974, and 40th place in the 1975 full-year charts. Heubach was paid around 10,000 East German marks and 500 Deutsche Marks. Though not censored by the state, the song was widely interpreted at the time as criticism of the drab and grey life prevalent in East Germany and the rest of the Eastern Bloc; this double meaning seen in the comical words of the song was apparently well-understood by both the general population and the Politbüro elites. In 1975, Nina Hagen left the band and became the s ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
