Yes, they do exist. The band that doesn't just fit into one category and knows how to inspire with its powerful and cleverly arranged songs. But that's not all:
Bananafishbones also possesses the talent for catchy pop tunes as their chart success "Come To Sin" proves. Everyone who owns a T.V. set must have heard "Come To Sin" at least once because in 1998 that single was the soundtrack for a C&A commercial by Roman Kuhn that embellished the commercial cluster on MTV and other channels.
But even without the commercial, the song "Come to Sin" established itself as an excellent pop song. It entered the top 50 of the media control single charts; and the immediate rise to position 32(KW2) as the frequent airplay and position 36 in the airplay charts speak for themselves.
The press and the critics also welcomed the band with open arms. According to the "Sueddeutsche Zeitung" the Bananafishbones beat the Guano Apes. Apparently, it doesn't take more than just three virtuosic musicians to produce an imaginative and original sound.
Others praised the mix of loveliness and gruffness, harmony and anarchy (MM) and attested that Bananafishbones isn't only the most important but also the best band of the county.
They also made the Soundtrack for the German soccer Films "Die Wilden Kerle 1 - 3".
KIDS
Bananafishbones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kids kicken gewaltig,
Kids kicken cool
Wer nicht kickt,
der tickt nicht richtig,
jetzt sag mal wie tickst du
Wir woll'n es
Ab dem 1: 0 hält es keinen mehr auf dem Stuhl!
Angriff, Angriff
wir stürmen nur noch vor,
jeder will das Tor
Kids geben das Beste,
das zu spüren tut gut
Kids kicken als wär's das Letzte,
was sie im Leben tun!
Wir woll'n es
Ihr sollt es
lasst die Fetzen fliegen
Ab dem 1: 0 hält es keinen mehr auf dem Stuhl!
Angriff, Angriff
wir stürmen nur noch vor,
jeder will das Tor
Angriff, Angriff
wir stürmen nur noch vor,
jeder will das Tor
Wir woll'n es
Ihr sollt es
lasst die Fetzen fliegen
Ab dem 1: 0 hält es keinen mehr auf dem Stuhl!
(pfeifen)
Kids kicken gewaltig,
Kids kicken cool
Kids kicken als wär's das Letzte,
was sie im Leben tun!
Angriff, Pass
Jeder gibt das Beste,
lass uns Fussball spielen
Komm schon Pass,
jeder gibt das Beste
lass uns Fussball spielen
Angriff, Angriff
wir stürmen nur noch vor,
jeder will das Tor
Wir woll'n es
Ihr sollt es
lasst die Fetzen fliegen
Ab dem 1: 0 hält es kein, hält es keinen
mehr auf dem Stuhl!
The lyrics to Bananafishbones' song Kids are all about the power and excitement of playing football (or soccer for those in the US). The chorus exclaims "Kids kickin' mighty, kids kickin' cool. If you don't kick, then you're not right, now tell me how do you tick?" The overall message is that playing football is essential and if you're not into it, there must be something wrong with you.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and excitement as the players are attacking the goal and "each one wants to score." The chorus repeats multiple times, driving home the point that the energy and enthusiasm of the game is contagious, and everyone should get on board.
The song ends with a final whistle and the lyrics "From the 1:0, nobody can stay sitting!" implying that once the game starts, everyone is going to be on their feet and cheering on their team.
Overall, Bananafishbones' Kids is a fun and catchy tribute to the joy of playing football, encouraging everyone to get in on the action.
