Those were the days, now Iāve lost my illusions
Sometimes I wake in the night and
I call out your name ![]()
At least to me, the Scorpions have such a distinctive sound. I like it. I donāt like each of their songs, but I do enjoy their overall sound as well a goodly number of their songs.
Itās the German accent. You donāt hear it as much in some songs, but if you listen to them live, itās very distinctive. I studied language in school so maybe thatās why I have a soft spot for them. I did 5 languages and German was fantastic ![]()
5 languages!?!?!
America does a crappy job in terms of having us learn other languages.
Europe is so far ahead of America in this (and quite a few other things too).
I worked for a company in the U.S. that was owned and headquartered in the Netherlands and I was fortunate to take many business trips over there, 5 in total.
Pretty much everyone there knew both Dutch and English except for those who were very old. I was told they teach it in schools, English I mean, and had for a while so pretty much all citizens there now know both English and Dutch.
Plus, like America, Europe is a melting pot. In the corporate office folks working there were from Australia, Morocco, Spain, England, Germany, China among many other nations.
It was rare to find a person in the corporate office who didnāt at least speak 3 languages and many spoke more. Maybe you worked there ![]()
Congrats on knowing that many languages Miss Stacy.
Now someone or a band having a distinctive sound doesnāt mean they sound good, but the Scorpions do.

Way too often.
