Herbert Grönemeyer is one of the most popular singers in Deutschland. He's also known to those outside of Germany because he starred in the 1981 film Das Boot. Grönemeyer is legendary. The Alkohol, released in 1985, is the first song I heard by him, and that got me hooked on him instantly. This music video is also... well, interesting to say the least. Don't say I didn't warn you. It's peculiar.
Remember to review any new vocabulary on a daily basis until it sinks in. Even more helpful is to sing along. It helps tremendously, trust me. Na denn, hier ist das Video. Ich hoffe es gefällt euch. The lyrics are at LyricWiki. Lots of nouns to learn :)
