I wanna be a Kennedy
I wanna fuck Marilyn Monroe!
The lyrics to U96's song "I Wanna Be a Kennedy" convey the desire of the singer to become a member of the influential Kennedy family. The verses are primarily in French and English, with a few lines in German thrown in. The repetition of the phrase "Je voudrais être un Kennedy" (French for "I want to be a Kennedy") emphasizes the singer's longing for this lifestyle. The use of Marilyn Monroe's name in the last line adds a touch of irony, as she was famously linked to President Kennedy.
The song reflects a fascination with the glamour and power associated with the Kennedy name. The Kennedys were an influential political family in the United States, with notable members including President John F. Kennedy and his brother Robert Kennedy, who were both assassinated in the 1960s. The song speaks to a desire for fame, fortune, and status, all of which were associated with the Kennedy family.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Wanna Be a Kennedy" are a reflection of the cultural fascination with the Kennedys and the desire to attain their status and power. The song speaks to a universal longing for success and fame, as well as the darker side of that desire, which can include a preoccupation with image and superficiality.

Damals hat man die Schutzmaske noch zum Raven angezogen. 2020 hagelts Bußgelder, wenn man sie nicht aufhat. Da sieht man mal wie fortschrittlich wir waren. Back to the 90s!

Yup, und der Strahlenschutzanzug (komischerweise auch mit Staubsauger) war natürlich auch mit dabei... wat für 'ne geile Zeit war das damals doch...

Music from a special time for me! You know before getting screwed up on drugs! A boom box with acid/Belgian techno and a football ⚽️ was all that was needed.
