Point the first: They’re German. I mean GERMAN. The land that gave us Bach, Wagner, Maxx and of course Scooter.

Point the second: This http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCDdmlEDH1s was the soundtrack to a memorable adventure behind the Iron Curtain. That 1980s dancefloor! That luminous blue vodka! At 20c a shot!

Point the third: They are a celebration of kitsch. This is what it’s all about. They even tried their hand at mullets. I challenge anyone not to jump up on the nearest box and unleash the party animal inside.

God forgive me for saying this, but I believe Modern Talking can turn Stephen Hawking into John Travolta (30 years ago).

This is a very old Maltese saying that applies to pants, bidets and a host of other things as well.

Your ‘anthem’ reminds me of what my father used to say – ‘the moment they realise that they should put some pants on, all they do is crap in them’.
