Elke (live)
"Elke" is a punk song by German band Die Ärzte. It's the seventh track from their 1988 album '' Das ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit...'' The song's lyrics were inspired by an overweight fan and depict a fictitious love story between Urlaub and the eponymous fan. The music is unique, as the first verse is sung slowly and then the song goes to the chorus very abruptly and then progresses with fast singing. This makes it a live favourite, as witnessed by the inclusion of 1988 live version to ''Das Beste von kurz nach früher bis jetze'' and the single of 1999. It's also the twenty-second track on CD2 from their 1999 live album '' Wir wollen nur deine Seele''. "Die Schönen und das Biest" (''The Beauties and the Beast'') is the title of the single that was released to promote the album. The single is not the one featured on the album, which is much longer. The single version is from a concert at Rock am Ring (18 May 1997). Music video "Die Schönen und das Biest" The video is an ...
