New Wave Country, foreign oddities and french people

If you would have told me someone made a song where they meshed new wave and country together, i wouldn't have believed them. Its just too perfect to be true. And a video too? Now youre just playing with me. Thats really not cool you know.




But they did. And its as wonderful as you would expect something that features wooden barrels, a German man singing in a fringed suede jacket, a slide guitar, a girl dancing around in camel toe jeans AND a kid doing the robot to be.




How terrible is this video? Even more puzzling/amazing is how they managed to keep all their furry heads and googley eyes on during the taping. Sure, its all fun and games until some "thing" with a guitar loses an eye and she slips on it. Then they'll technically be taking her lower. Bad pun I know, but really, look what i have to work with.

The band is named Ganymed. Ganymed is also an asteroid (or a moon depending on how you spell it) and a pharmaceutical company. Strange bedfellows? Not really.





Patric Juvet! The Singing Castrati! He loves america b/c we celebrate the castrati range- dont we, Justin Timberlake.
Actually im not convinced he loves America. He isn't really moving very much. If this great land incites such passion, dontcha think he would move a little?
