1) An A Cappella group from Cologne, Germany
2) An Italian hardcore band from New Jersey.
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

Ich will zu dir
Wise Guys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
doch ich bin lang schon nicht mehr hier.
Mit jedem Tag wird's etwas schlimmer.
Ich frag mich: Was passiert mit mir?
Ich kann das alles noch nicht fassen,
und langsam fang ich fast schon an,
die Zeit hier ohne dich zu hassen.
Ich leb nur noch fürs "Irgendwann".
Ich weiß, wir beide waren uns einig,
dass es halt echt nicht anders geht.
Doch ich find's grad so fadenscheinig,
dass sich mir nur der Magen dreht.
Ich weiß nicht, wo du dich gerade aufhältst.
Ist das nicht alles Selbstbetrug?
Ich weiß auch nicht, wie du das aushältst.
Ich weiß nur eins: Ich hab genug.
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
der ganze Rest geht mir am Arsch vorbei!
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
was and're denken, ist mir einerlei!
Man kann sich lange selbst belügen.
Man kann erstaunlich gut verdrängen,
kann sich mit Wenigem begnügen,
und sich verstecken hinter Zwängen.
Wir machen es uns viel zu leicht.
Wir haben uns gleich selbst zensiert.
Und alles in mir schreit: Es reicht!
Ich glaub, ich hab es jetzt kapiert.
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
der ganze Rest geht mir am Arsch vorbei!
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
was and're denken, ist mir einerlei!
Stundenlange Diskussionen,
Tränen, keine andere Wahl,
Rücksichtnahme, Konventionen,
das ist mir alles scheißegal!
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
der ganze Rest geht mir am Arsch vorbei!
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
was and're denken, ist mir einerlei!
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
der ganze Rest geht mir am Arsch vorbei!
Ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir, ich will zu dir,
was and're denken, ist mir einerlei!
The song "Ich will zu dir" by Wise Guys is a longing love song about a person who is struggling with being without the one they love. The opening lines of the song paint a picture of someone who is physically present, but mentally absent. The person is facing a difficult time and is struggling to come to grips with the reality of being away from their loved one. The singer expresses their feelings of frustration and loneliness, seemingly counting down the days until they can be reunited with their loved one. Throughout the song, the singer expresses their desire to be with their beloved, despite the practical obstacles and social conventions that might stand in their way.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the singer's desire to be true to themselves. They have reached their breaking point and are ready to throw caution to the wind in order to be with their loved one. The chorus repeats the notion that nothing else matters, as long as the singer can be reunited with their beloved. The song speaks to the universal feelings of desire and longing, and the lengths that people will go to be with the ones they love.
