Genre: goth, Neofolk, NDH
Lyrics:

Kebab-Träume in der Mauerstadt
Türk-Kültür hinter Stacheldraht
Neu-Izmir ist in der DDR | Ich denke ich bin in der DDR
Atatürk, der neue Herr

Miliyet für die Sowjet-Union
In jeder Imbißstube, ein Spion
Im ZK, Agent aus Türkei
Deutschland, Deutschland, alles ist vorbei!

Wir sind die Türken von morgen!

English version:

Kebab dreams in the walled city
Turkish culture behind barbed wire
New-Izmir is in the GDR | I think I'm in the GDR
Atatürk, the new lord

Miliyet backs the Soviet Union
In every snack bar, a spy
In the Central Committee, secret agent from Turkey
Germany, Germany, it's all over!

We are the Turks of tomorrow!



Why did i choose this song:

The song itself is very awsome and the DAF Version/original is pretty good. The text is also pretty nice and provacative. OHL covered the song back in the 80s with their song "Türkenlied" and the original was actually by "Mittagspause" and was called "Wir sind die Türken von morgen" which later became DAF and "Kebabträume". The lyrics changed between each version a little bit and is pretty famous.
OHL itself is a little bit provocativ because they were a punk band which critized left and right and was called "CDU punk" (conservative party punk) by critics. Death in Rome is a parody band which does also a lot of covers to tribute to important Neofolk bands and influences. DAF singer Gaby died recently so they covered Kebabträume. The lyrics itself are a strange mix between being very relevant today and being outdated (Mauerstadt, i didnt even live when the DDR existed ;)

The music video is looking very strange and nationalistic. Turkish people being proud to hold a big flag is not a common theme for music videos. well it is not a music video. it is an AKP commercial ;)

Neu-Izmir ist in der DDR | Ich denke ich bin in der DDR (New-Izmir is in the GDR | I think I'm in the GDR) is a small easteregg. the DAF version had the first line but they used the latter which was in the OHL version.
The singer here is "Deutscher W" (The singer of OHL)
