"Nobody rocks over there" — in Europe — "They're all so... cerebral."

"They don't get down..."

"They over-intellectualize, they cerebrate, they ratiocinate excessively."

Super hook that really pulls you in. And you don't need to understand German to appreciate the song.

Here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oAMsCCSNVc

BTW, the song is about a son visiting his father's grave seeking advice, consolation, and perspective on how to deal with all life's disappointments.
'Verdamp Lang Her' translates into 'Too Damn Long'.; 1/10/16, 11:53 AM
