Fasse mich wenn ich brenn Fasse mich wenn ich renn schuettel die Baeume im Regenwald von oben faellt ein Tier Fasse mich jetzt und hier offen - offen - uh - uh Ja, due weisst: das schockt den Affen Fuchs den Fuchs Deck den Dachs Herz das Herz keiner merkt's Lass die Haeute heute springen Schluss jetzt! Schluss! Fasse mich - fasse mich offen - offen - uh - uh Ja, du weisst: das schockt den Affen Alles geht weiter haengt an der Leiter ich weiss, ich lerne SCHOCK! - Das tut dem Affen weh SCHOCK! - Das tut dem Affen weh Fasse mich wenn ich schlaf Fasse mich wenn ich wach Wirfst deine Perlen vor die Sau treibst den Affen in den Bau Fasse mich jetzt und hier offen - offen - uh - uh Ja, due weisst: das schockt den Affen Viel zuviel in Frage unsicher alle Tage und jetzt auch noch dies: SCHOCK! - Das tut dem Affen weh SCHOCK! - Das tut dem Affen weh Schock den Affen im Schlaf
Why:
When I was a teenager I was listening one night to a rock radio station and the lady DJ played this song. She said that us listeners were not halluncinating, that a German friend of hers had sent her a German language copy of Peter Gabriel's hit "Shock the Monkey". It was absolutely amazing. It stoked some conversations around the locker door halls in school the next day.
