First formed at the end of 1984 (Anders was 21), they unexpectedly became immensely popular with their standalone disco hit "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", which was then followed by "You Can Win If You Want" and "Cheri, Cheri Lady". They released two albums a year from 1985 to 1987 while also promoting their singles on television all over Europe. After splitting up in 1987, the duo reunited in 1998, at first only testing the waters with new versions of hit singles and again reaching the top of the charts unexpectedly. Bohlen and Anders split again in 2003 due to irreconcilable disagreements (they had never been friends in the first place). Thomas Anders started another solo career immediately, while Bohlen had by now begun devoting most of his time to new talents, especially those he discovered on the German edition of the TV show Pop Idol/American Idol.
Global sales of Modern Talking records were 120 million units, according to BMG in June 2003, and they have become the biggest-selling German music act in history, so far outselling even Frank Farian's projects Boney M and Milli Vanilli, Michael Cretu's Enigma, Sandra, the Scorpions, Snap! and Rammstein.
Modern Talking were successful in Europe, Asia, South America and some African countries. In the United Kingdom they reached the top ten only once with the song "Brother Louie" (in 1986, #4 UK). They did not feel very good about promoting their singles there due to being marketed in England as a gay group like Erasure and Culture Club. Indeed, in the UK "Brother Louie" is regarded by those who remember it as nothing more than a novelty record by a one-hit wonder.
They were almost unknown in North America by mainstream standards, never appearing in the charts there, and due to lack of backing from a record company and lack of time did not go there to promote their music. Composer Dieter Bohlen employed mood-evoking lyrics and intellectually-designed, synthesizer-based music which was out of vogue in the U.S. before Modern Talking even formed.
In 2006 Bohlen included a secret message in his song "Bizarre Bizarre" which was played backwards: "There will never be an end to Modern Talking". However, Bohlen said "he meant to say that the music of Modern Talking will live forever" [4]. Anders has kept the Modern Talking songs in his repertoire and produced songs in a similar vein for his solo records ("Independent Girl"). In 2006 he produced an album of Swing and Jazz versions of popular songs (including Modern Talking's first hit). Bohlen has written two autobiographical books, one of which also detailed Modern Talking's history from his perspective, and sold a million copies in Germany. The sequel was heavily criticised for his unfairness towards the people he worked with. As a result of that, he withdrew from the public for a year until 2006, when he said he regretted putting out the second book. Anders had not been the only one pressing charges against Bohlen and demanding that sections of the book be modified.
Geronimo's Cadillac
Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Want to share with you
On the wings of love
Like dreamers do
Touch your heart
You're the queen of broken hearts
Oh we are daytime friends and nighttime fools
You break the rules
Tears of love are frozen tears
Geronimo's Cadillac
Is making all girls turn mad
Geronimo has a heart, oh it's a drag
Geronimo's Cadillac
Oh making all girls turn sad
Geronimo has a heart, oh it's a drag
Geronimo's Cadillac
It's tossing oh in your head
It's tossing and turning
It's burning, it makes you mad
Geronimo's Cadillac
Oh baby I'll hold you back
It's tossing and turning
It's burning, it makes you sad
I'm looking through the eyes
The eyes of love
Made a fool of me, can't get enough
Touch my heart
Boulevard of broken dreams
Another time for love
Other place to be
Don't let him take your love
Your love from me
Tears of love are frozen tears
Geronimo's Cadillac
Is making all girls turn mad
Geronimo has a heart, oh it's a drag
Geronimo's Cadillac
Oh making all girls turn sad
Geronimo has a heart, oh it's a drag
Geronimo's Cadillac
It's tossing oh in your head
It's tossing and turning
It's burning, it makes you mad
Geronimo's Cadillac
Oh baby I'll hold you back
It's tossing and turning
It's burning, it makes you sad
Geronimo's Cadillac
Is making all girls turn mad
Geronimo has a heart, oh it's a drag
Modern Talking's "Geronimo's Cadillac" tells the story of a man who is trying to win over a woman he cares about. In his attempt to share his dreams with her, he promises to fly her high on the wings of love. However, the woman is already a queen of broken hearts, and she seems to be playing with the man's emotions. They're daytime friends and nighttime fools, and he's concerned they're both breaking the rules by getting involved with each other. Despite his concerns, he can't help but fall for her and finds himself lost in his love for her.
The song's title refers to the car that Geronimo is driving, which makes all the girls go mad, hence the line "Geronimo's Cadillac is making all girls turn mad." The car is a symbol of his attraction and appeal, but underneath it all, Geronimo is not as confident as he appears to be. He has a heart, and he knows that it's a drag. The song's chorus repeats the lines about the car and its effects, tossing and turning in one's head and making the person feel mad and sad.
Overall, the song is about the raw emotions that come with love, especially when it comes to the highs and lows of falling for someone who may not feel the same way. It's also about the illusions that people create and the need to let them go before they take over and lead one down a path of heartbreak.

I want to share my dreams
I desire to share my aspirations with you
Want to share with you
I want to divulge and express my ideas with you
On the wings of love
By means of pure affection, fondness, and intimacy
Like dreamers do
In the same extravagant way that visionaries and idealists act
Touch your heart
Reach the most profound part of your emotions and deepest sentiment
You're the queen of broken hearts
You are the supreme ruler of lovesick people everywhere
Oh we are daytime friends and nighttime fools
Our relationship is platonic at times and romantic at other times
Want to play this game
I am eager to participate in this activity
You break the rules
You defy the standard and contrary to usual behavior
Tears of love are frozen tears
The tears that stem from affection are cryogenically preserved
Geronimo's Cadillac
A car that makes women lustful and passionate
Is making all girls turn mad
The automobile drives all women insane with desire
Geronimo has a heart, oh it's a drag
The machine may be appealing, but it's frustrating that it has a soulful mind of its own
It's tossing oh in your head
The car is making you feel confused or agitated
It's tossing and turning
The vehicle creates a sensation of anxiety or emotional disarray
It's burning, it makes you mad
The automobile ignites your passions, which makes you feel fiery, infuriated and frustrated
Oh baby I'll hold you back
I'll slow you down and control you, oh dear
I'm looking through the eyes
I'm looking at you with the outlook of affection
The eyes of love
Vision coloured by warm and tender emotions
Made a fool of me, can't get enough
You've made me seem ridiculous, yet I can't seem to get enough of you
Boulevard of broken dreams
A place where lives, romance, and ambitions have been destroyed
Another time for love
A time for devotion and attachment at a different time
Other place to be
A different geographical location in which to dwell
Don't let him take your love
Don't let someone take away that which you love
Your love from me
That which you love no longer belongs to me
Tears of love are frozen tears
The tears that come from affection are cryogenically preserved
