ROCKET_KNUT Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 So, we all know now, the release of the Normandy Map will take another two weeks or so. But waiting is hard, isn´t it? How about playing a small game in order to pass the time more quickly, ok? It is straight forward: We are looking for a song title from the 80ies. As an extra bit of help I´ll post a picture. The picture might be related to the song somehow. It should give you ideas and help you solving the puzzle. If you think you guessed it, just post title and band name in this thread. Do that and win a price not exactly useless in IL2GB, assumingly. I´ve been told, it drops tears or spits fire... ? HOW ABOUT THAT??? Here is your picture: First hint: No, the price isn´t a T-72, sorry. Second hint: We´re looking for something German... I´ll check the thread daily to look at the progress. If necessary, I´ll drop more hints. @Bremspropeller will look at it too and will verify when somebody guessed correctly and solved the puzzle. Have fun! 5
sevenless Posted August 22, 2022 Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Hmm could be way off or could be a bullseye... Fee - Brunswick band of the 80s, german cover version of Status Quo - You are in the Army now (1981) 1986 - Fee - Du musst zur Bundeswehr Online here: BTW. One of the favourite partysongs at that time was this one. Also by Fee. A real gem. Edited August 22, 2022 by sevenless

Not bad either, but it has got nothing to do with the Bundeswehr. ? 32 minutes ago, Eisenfaustus said: "Unsere Panzerdivision": Don't know wether it's from the 80's - but befits the picture ^^ The picture yes but not the song title, unfortunately. But you´re on a good way (hint: east).? 5 minutes ago, VBF-12_Pequod said: Could it be Da da da by Trio? 5 minutes ago, Irishratticus72 said: Scorpions, "Winds of change"?

Ok, 2nd try and I am off. 80s and vehicles (tanks) driving in full speed and that lyrics text of that song has now become reality... "Und kost' Benzin auch drei Mark zehn: scheißegal, es wird schon geh'n! Ich will Spass (Ich geb Gas), Markus, 1982

You obviously have something in mind where you need to think 6 times around the corner. ? I will follow this one with curious interest. Great idea. 1

Guest deleted@83466 Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 This contest clearly has a German bias. ?

JG4_Moltke1871 Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Bomber from Motörhead as symbol for combined armed forces including tanks? And Lemmy wear a lot of German symbols… But shit, it’s still the 70‘s…. ?
BOO Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 Given the T72s current "on tour" performance I did think Münchener Freiheit Herz aus Glas Or perhaps Boney Ms cover of My Cherie A(r)mour But in the end, and getting dangerously close to accidentally playing "Wind of Change" I settled on buying the spitfire and giving up!

IckyATLAS Posted August 23, 2022 Posted August 23, 2022 (edited) "Panzer Battalion" from Sabaton. I now it is not german but I think he may have it sang in german. Anyway it is the one that for me is really the best connection to the picture. Edited August 23, 2022 by IckyATLAS 1

Wrong band by a decade, wrong song by 2 decades Methinks we need to see if @ROCKET_KNUT has ever posted in the "what do you listen to " thread to gain an insight.......

Dammit, you might find it, I don´t remember. That is actually clever thinking! 1 hour ago, BOO said: buying the spitfire and giving up! Don´t give up! Oh, that´s a song too... ?
ROCKET_KNUT Posted August 23, 2022 Author Posted August 23, 2022 I just noticed, the thread has been moved from "General Discussion" to "Free Subject". That´s a first for a give away if I´m not wrong. Must have some fans somewhere... Anyway, where were we? A band from East-Berlin (obviously) with a song in German from 1986/87, which is somehow related to the picture in the first post, you´ll need to think around one corner only to win one Spit XIV with a Teardrop Canopy for IL2GB. I hope you have as much fun as me. And, one day has passed already. Thank you all for taking part.
