Die Ärzte were formed in 1982 by Jan Vetter (alias Farin Urlaub), Dirk Felsenheimer (alias Bela B.) and bassist Hans Runge (alias Sahnie). Bela and Farin had previously played together in the punk band Soilent Grün; after that band broke up they decided to form a band playing fun songs, in contrast to the mostly political bands of the punk scene at that time. While deriving from that punk scene, their early music was heavily influenced by pop and rock and roll, especially The Beatles, whom Farin heard a lot as a child due to his mother playing their records.
In the first two years they mostly played in clubs of their hometown of Berlin. Their first release was a contribution to the sampler "20 schäumende Stimmungshits" (roughly, "20 exuberant mood hits"), which contained a strong alcohol theme. In 1983 they won a rock contest in Berlin; with the prize money they recorded their debut EP "Uns gehts Prima" ("We're doing great"). Finally Columbia Records signed them, and they released their first LP "Debil" in 1984 and the second one ("Im Schatten der Ärzte") a year later.
After the second record they parted ways with Sahnie due to internal problems. On the third record he was replaced by producer Miccey Meuser; later Hagen Liebig, better known as The Incredible Hagen, played bass for them during live performances until their breakup.
In 1987 the German Federal Centre for Media Harmful to Young Persons put the songs Geschwisterliebe ("Sibling Love", a song about incest, from Die Ärzte), Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund ("Claudia has a German Shepherd", about zoophilia, from "Debil") and Schlaflied ("Lullaby", about a monster coming and eating you after falling asleep, also from "Debil") on the German List of Media Harmful to Young People. This prohibited the band from performing the songs live and, more importantly, promoting the two albums, and shops from openly displaying the records in their shelves. After several trials against shops that still openly sold the records a lot of shops removed Die Ärzte completely from their stock. The result was a drop in record sales and big financial problems for the band. In response they released the compilation "Ab 18" ("Adults Only") with all their songs on the index and some other old and new tasteless songs, and the greatest hits album "Ist das alles?"("Is this everything?" but also can be translated as "Is this the end?"). The album and the new singles were fairly successful, partly because of growing media interest due to the previous censorship.
The following album "Das ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit" ("That is not the whole truth") was even more successful, climbing into the top 10 in the German album charts. They decided to go out on a high note in 1988, breaking up after doing one last tour and recording a live double album that became their first number one in the album charts.
Neither Farin's new band King Køng nor Bela's Depp Jones were really successful, so in 1993 they decided to do a reunion. As bass player they invited Rodrigo Gonzales, who was guitarist in Depp Jones and a friend of Bela. Their comeback single was Schrei nach Liebe ("Cry for Love"), their first ever political song, that they published as a statement against what was perceived as growing racism and right wing extremist violence in Germany at that time.
The album was more diverse than ever, with ballads, punk, rock and traditional German sounds. Both album and single became big hits in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The follow-up "Planet Punk" was also very successful.
In 1996 they wanted to make an EP just about hair, but they wrote too many songs for an EP and made the Album "Le Frisur" ("The Hairdo") instead. It was slightly less successful than its predecessors. Apart from their own tours they also supported Kiss in that year, a dream come true for Bela and Rod.
1998 was perhaps the most successful year of their career, the single "Männer sind Schweine" ("Men are Pigs") being their first Number 1 single in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and the album 13 also being Number 1 in Germany and Switzerland. After a lot of promotion and touring in that year they decided to take a break, deciding also to never play again "Männer sind Schweine" at a concert due to the too great success this song had. They did not like the upcoming unwanted and rather unoriginal remakes by other bands as e.g. "Frauen sind Schweine" ("Women are pigs") and also did not like to see their song played at mass tourist beach parties at places like Mallorca/Spain.
In 2000 they came back with another very successful album, "Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbarer!", and two top 10 singles. As the third single from the album they released the 30-second-song "Yoko Ono", which, according to the Guinness Book of Records, is the shortest single ever released - another example of their sense of humour. On their tour in 2001 they sold the limited Album "5, 6, 7, 8 Bullenstaat" consisting of short punk songs that were written and recorded while recording the full length album published a year before, and some cover songs published in 1994 on a tour only EP.
After that they again took a break: Bela did some acting, Farin recorded his first solo album (Endlich Urlaub!). In late 2002 they did an MTV Unplugged in a school auditorium together with the school band. After that they made a new double album Geräusch that was released in 2003. On the next tour a Live DVD was recorded and published one year later.
On 2 November 2007, Die Ärzte released their latest album, Jazz ist anders ("Jazz is nothing like this", literally "Jazz is different").
In August 2011 the band announced that they are working on a new album which is set to be released in 2012 with a tour called "Das Ende ist noch nicht vorbei" ("The end is not over yet") following in the summer 2012.

Die Ärzte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ich bin allein und die Zeit steht still
Warum bist du nicht bei mir?
Du weißt, dass ich nichts anderes will
Ich bin allein und du rufst nicht an
Du bist weit weg und suchst dein Glück
Obwohl du mich nicht hören kannst
Komm zurück, komm zurück, komm zurück
Du kannst nicht wissen wie das ist
Vielleicht wirst du es nie verstehen?
Ich will nur, dass du bei mir bist
Ich will dich endlich wiedersehen
Ich sitze hier und ich bin allein
Und langsam werde ich verrückt
Ich kann nicht mehr alleine sein
Bitte, oh bitte komm zurück
Komm zurück, oh bitte komm zurück, komm zurück
Ich bin allein, Was soll ich hier?
Bitte, komm zurück zu mir
Ich liege wach bis nachts um vier
Bitte, komm zurück, zurück zu mir
Komm zurück
Komm zurück
Komm zurück
Komm zurück
Komm zurück
The song "Komm zurück" by Die Ärzte is about missing someone so deeply that the loneliness becomes unbearable. The singer is alone and time seems to stand still because they are not with the person they love. They plead for this person to come back into their life, stating that nothing else will satisfy their heart's desire. The singer is not comforted by the fact that the person they miss is far away and searching for happiness elsewhere. They continue to call out to this person and beg them to return.
The lyrics convey desperation and longing for companionship. The singer is going crazy from being alone and it's clear that the only solution is to be reunited with the person they miss. The chorus of the song, "Komm zurück" (come back), is a simple message that encapsulates the entirety of the singer's emotions.
Overall, "Komm zurück" is a beautiful love song that speaks to the universal human experience of longing for companionship and struggling with loneliness. It's a relatable sentiment that is communicated through clear and direct lyrics.

Liebe dieses Lied
@benfredo6903
Schade das es nicht mehr so gespielt wird wie früher, dass ist es die geilste Version die es gibt.
Den Schlagzeug und Basspart haben die Jungs komplett danach verändert....
@larshollstein9552
Jim Rakete hat damals Fotos gemacht und den Bass eingespielt!
Hat mich an die deutschen Schlager- und Popsongs erinnert.
Hätten DÄ den Song an irgendwen verkauft wäre es der Song des Jahres geworden!
Haben sie nicht...
Lobpreiset BelaFarinRod
