The Wise Guys was a popular A Cappella group from Cologne, Germany. They were the most prominent representatives of A Cappella music in Germany. Their tantalizing combination of catchy tunes and amusing lyrics have attracted many fans. The group has existed since 1995 with the members Daniel Dickopf (Dän), Marc Sahr (Sari), Edzard Hüneke (Eddi), Clemens Tewinkel and Ferenc Husta who replaced the former bassist Christoph Tettinger. Tettinger moved on to be the band's manager. As of 2009, Clemens Tewinkel left the group and was replaced by Nils Olfert. Fenerc Husta left in 2012 and was replaced by former Flying Pickets member Andrea Figallo. Björn Sterzenbach replaced him in 2016.
The Wise Guys were always on the verge of commercial success. Their last six albums all reached the top 10 of the German album charts, while they still played lots of smaller concerts all over Germany. They were also famous for their annual six hour charity concert "Totalnacht". Since 2001 they also hold the world record of most spectators (12,500 visitors) for an A Cappella concert of an individual group. They also played for several years at the "Evangelischer Kirchentag", an event for German protestants; one time performing in front of more than 70,000 spectators.
Their album Zwei Welten appeared 2012 in an A Cappella version and also in a version where most songs were re-recorded with traditional band setup (drums, bass, guitar etc.) and those don't stand back from the original versions.
The Wise Guys announced that they were to stop performing as a group in autumn 2017. Many of the members of Wise Guys went on to form the group Alte Bekannte.
2) Wise Guys is an Italian hardcore punk band from New Jersey. With 2 separate albums and ongoing shows in Eastern PA and NJ tour plans are being made, keep your eye out

Goldfinger
Wise Guys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words he will pour in your ear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death ...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girls, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
Golden words he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
It's the kiss of death ...
From Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of his heart of gold
This heart is cold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
He loves only gold
Only gold
He loves gold
The song "Goldfinger" by Wise Guys is a warning to women about a man who is dangerous and to be avoided. The singer, known as Goldfinger, is described as having the Midas touch which is a reference to the mythological character who could turn everything he touched into gold. Despite his charming persona, the lyrics suggest that he is a spider who lures unsuspecting women into his web of sin. The mention of his cold finger creates a feeling of dread, implying that he is not to be trifled with.
The song is a cautionary tale about the dangers of being seduced by the things that we want. Goldfinger uses golden words to ensnare his victims, but they soon realize that his promises are hollow and that his touch is deadly. The reference to the kiss of death creates a sense of foreboding, the implication being that Goldfinger's love can be harmful, even fatal.
Overall, "Goldfinger" is an insightful critique of the dark side of seduction, and a reminder to be wary of those who offer you everything you've ever wanted without asking for anything in return. The song is a warning about the dangers of greed and the perils of falling for charms that may ultimately lead to destruction.
