Weekly Recommendation: Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann by Nena
Hey there!
Here’s your weekly German media recommendation from Monoglot Anxiety. This time, it’s "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" by Nena.
"Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" by Nena
You probably already know Nena, even if you don't know you know them -- if you're learning German, I'm guessing there's no way you haven't already head their hit "99 Luftballons." But while Nena might have been a one-hit wonder in the US, the group released a few other songs that did well in German-speaking countries. "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" is one of them. It's a very 1980s song with fun, clever lyrics referencing space and time. It's also just fun to listen to -- the kind of thing that inspires you to roll down your car-windows and crank up the volume.
A fitting choice for the soundtrack of Netflix's Dark
"Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" had a bit of a moment online recently among fans of the Netflix original series Dark -- and if you haven't seen Dark, you should really consider changing that right now. The lyrics almost seem custom-written for the time-travel themes of Dark, whose soundtrack was in general just absurdly well-crafted.
That’s it for this week!
