In 1995, Christoph "Christ" von Freydorf (vocals) and Stefan "Fini" Finauer (drums), pupils of a convent school, founded the band together with Christoph's church choir friend Jamie "Citnoh" Richardson (bass guitar). They were joined by Stephan Karl "Moik" and Franz Wickenhäuser (both guitar). The band was founded in Hohenschäftlarn near Munich. The name Emil Bulls is derived from a children's movie.
In 1996, they recorded their first CD Red Dick’s Potatoe Garden themselves. The CD is in great demand today because of its small circulation. In 1997, they attended the Emergenza festival and finished third in the European competition. For this competition they hired DJ Paul Rzyttka (known as DJ Zamzoe) who afterwards became a permanent member of the band.
After a long tour, their album Monogamy was released by the indie record label Oh My Sweet Records. The record could only be purchased through the internet or during live shows. Monogamy was noticed by Island Records, which offered the band a recording deal. Some of the songs on Monogamy and a few new songs were recorded. The result was Angel Delivery Service, released in 2001. The album was already out of stock a few months later. A new edition was released including a cover version of A-Ha's "Take on Me". The songs "Smells Like Rock'n'Roll", "Leaving You with This" and "Take on Me" were released as singles.
In May 2002, Porcelain was released through Motor Music. "The Coolness of Being Wretched" and "This Day" were released as singles. Between June 2001 and August 2002, the band played 129 live shows including Rock am Ring. In August 2003, drummer Stefan Finauer left the band to go to university. He was replaced by Fabian Fab Füß. In 2003, the band played some shows in Canada and the United States.
On June 20, 2005, The Southern Comfort was released on Pirate Records. It was the last record with DJ Zamzoe.
In February 2007, the live and acoustic album The Life Acoustic was released. The album, which was recorded in Pullach in 2006, was followed by an acoustic tour.
The following album The Black Path was released on April 4, 2008, on Drakkar records. It is the hardest record of the band so far and was recorded in Hannover by Benny Richer (Caliban, Krypteria). The single "The Most Evil Spell" was offered as a free download.
In 2009, Chrissy Schneider left the band and was replaced by Andy Bock, who was the guitar player of From Constant Visions. On September 25, 2009, Phoenix was released. "Here Comes The Fire" was offered as a free download on their website. In September 2009, a music video of "When God Was Sleeping" was released.
The band's latest studio offering, Oceanic, was to be released on September 30, 2011.
Dancing On the Moon
Emil Bulls Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Most of us never achieved
All lifetime a war
The clocks are ticking the seconds away
So were getting closer each day to our last curtain call
If I have one wish for fill
Tonight I wanna sing with you
Tonight we land up dancin' dancin’dancin’ on the moon
All the thoughts are running in circles again
What will we get in the end
We waitin' in dreamin'
All hopes are meltin' like ice in the sun
To undry like a whale in the sand
The sand of a lonesome dessert
If I have one wish for fill
Tonight I wanna sing with you
No matter if we're out of tune
Tonight we land up dancin' dancin' dancin' on the moon
Tonight I wanna sing with you
No matter if we're out of tune
Tonight we land up dancin’ dancin’ dancin’ on the moon
Tonight we will break free
Tomorrow we'll be kings and queens
Forever they will sing about us
Oh tonight
Tonight I wanna sing with you
No matter if we're out of tune
Tonight we land up dancin’ dancin’ dancin’ on the moon
Tonight I wanna sing with you
No matter if we're out of tune
Tonight we land up dancin’ dancin’ dancin’ on the moon
The lyrics of "Dancing on the Moon" by Emil Bulls are about the inevitability of death and the fleeting nature of life. The opening verse paints a picture of how all of us are on the same journey, living out our lives in what can be seen as a tragic existence. The lyrics suggest that most people don't achieve everything that they had hoped to accomplish in life, and that life is essentially a battle that we are all fighting. The clocks are ticking away, and with each passing moment, we are getting closer to our final destination - our last curtain call.
The chorus of the song reveals the singer's one wish - to sing with someone he cares about. He doesn't care if they are out of tune, because in this moment he wants to enjoy life and experience something special. Dancing on the moon becomes a metaphor for the idea of living life to the full and experiencing everything it has to offer, even if it seems out of reach or impossible. The second verse talks about how all our hopes and dreams are like melting ice in the sun, and how we are waiting and dreaming for something bigger. However, we are reminded that life is fragile and fleeting, like a whale drying out in the sand of a lonely desert.
Overall, the lyrics of "Dancing on the Moon" are poignant and poetic, reflecting on our humanity and the struggles we face in life. They remind us that even in the face of death, there is still beauty to be found.

Were all cast in the same tragedy
We are all part of the same unfortunate story
Most of us never achieved
Most of us never reached our goals
All lifetime a war
Life is a constant battle
The clocks are ticking the seconds away
Time is continuously passing us by
So were getting closer each day to our last curtain call
We are gradually approaching our final moments in life
If I have one wish for fill
If I could have one wish come true
Tonight I wanna sing with you
I want to sing with you tonight
No matter if we're out of tune
Even if our singing isn't perfect
Tonight we land up dancin' dancin'dancin' on the moon
Tonight we will end up dancing on the moon
All the thoughts are running in circles again
My mind is full of repeating thoughts
What will we get in the end
What will be our final outcome
We waitin' in dreamin'
We are waiting and dreaming
All hopes are meltin' like ice in the sun
Our hopes are slowly fading away
To undry like a whale in the sand
To become stranded like a whale on the beach
The sand of a lonesome dessert
The sand of a lonely desert
Tonight we will break free
Tonight we will liberate ourselves
Tomorrow we'll be kings and queens
Tomorrow we will succeed and achieve greatness
Forever they will sing about us
Our names will be remembered forever
Oh tonight
Oh, tonight
