What is zis? Røger FINALLY drops the mythical “Champagne and Horns” and THEN a new single not on the album?!
Well, dear unhumanoids, you didn’t think the vault of the unfonkopolis was empty now did ya? No, far from it, and here we are with what could be the start of the next chapter of brand new pre-owned Røger mythology.
Allegedly recorded at the height of the Cold War using on the finest teutonic technology, Berlin documents the rise of the evil Fonk Kontroller to Fonk Kommander, and the little known role of the Røger band during these trying times.
More uplifting than a DC-3, snappier than a doberman attack dog and sharper than commie razor wire, Røger returns to defy the Fonk Kommander with a new strain of nasty.
Say it proud, say it loud: JAH!
lyrics
I am ze fonk selector
When Roger comes to my town. Jah.
Unsolicited fonking activities
Ve must shut them down. Jah? Jah.
Too much moving and grooving
Wild abandonment
The youth vill be revolting
Ve must crush this dissent!
I know they want to keep it nasty
I know they want to feel the funk
I know they want to keep it nasty
I must kontrol these little punks
Roger what are you doing in Berlin?
(Exactly what are you doing here, you filthy animals?)
Everyone’s tryna leave, you’re trying to get in
( Zis is most unacceptable! )
I am ze Fonk Kommander
I was recently promoted
Career advancement is a serious proposition for those who
Are seriously devoted
To the condemnation of ze fonk!
To ze resistance of ze beat!
For the failure to get down!
Or ze movement of ze feet!
I know they want to keep it nasty
I know they want to feel the funk
I know they want to keep it nasty
I must kontrol these little punks
Roger what are you doing in Berlin?
Everyone’s tryna leave, you’re trying to get in
Roger what are you doing in Berlin?
Everyone’s tryna leave, you’re trying to get in
Well if the wall’s gonna fall then evil’s gonna crawl
And the fonk will unite for the good of one and all
if the wall’s gonna fall then evil’s gonna crawl
And the fonk will unite for the good of one and all
Roger what are you doing in Berlin?
Everyone’s tryna leave, you’re trying to get in
Roger what are you doing in Berlin?
Everyone’s tryna leave, you’re trying to get in
