In a tangent to [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=596362), I revealed the glory of [“Uwu Lena - Schland O Schland”](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bz0rLo_fhU) to the international public. I was urged to start a thread about this subject by **2square4u** (btw., he sometimes shows masochistic tendencies ;)) and I warned him, but okay, **2square4u** , eat this: [“Die Wanne ist voll”](http://www.univision.com/uv/video/Helga-Feddersen-%26-Dieter-Hallervorden---/id/4238546628) No, I won’t give any cultural context other than that these were the seventies in Germany. I was ten when this was made. I remember. Sob… Can anybody top this? (note: it has to be German) ---

I was all ready for some awesomeness but when I clicked on the link it said this. "Sorry! Unfortunately we do not grant access to Clipfish from your country. Be sure to check us out on your next trip to Germany." I’m in USA. ---

Oh dang, this may destroy the thread. I thought that these restrictions would only work from the U.S to Germany, not the other way. Sorry. I’ll try to provide a different link. ---

The worst, most cliché-stormed music video ever can be found [here](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZGH0yn2cZY). It will never be equalled in the history of rock 'n roll. Hammerfall does happen to be German. Coincidence ? ---

A couple of years ago in a thread about horrible songs someone posted a link to the video for Sin With Sebastian’s “Shut Up (and Sleep With Me)”. It is truly one of the most obnoxious songs I’ve ever heard. The video is more garish than bizarre, except for that teddy bear in the jar. 😕 Oh, and fair warning it’s maybe a little racy to be watching at work, although no more so than plenty of other music videos. Anyway, here it is: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkeKen39fuk](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkeKen39fuk) It strikes me now that the singer looks like a glam version of Abed from _Community_. ---

I never said they were shocking. Most people misconceptualize Germany as Berlin. That’s like mistaking the United States with New York… or Eugene, OR. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/horrible-and-bizarre-german-music-videos/571065.md?page=2)
