Kriminaltango

"Kriminaltango" (Criminal tango) is a traditional pop song released in 1959. The Italian original by Piero Trombetta only achieved a modest success, whereas the German version performed by Hazy Osterwald became a big hit in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

Describing scenes from tavern, the song juxtaposes the appearance of shady figures ("dunkle Gestalten") and their mysterious dealings with dancing tango ("Und sie tanzen einen Tango"). The song culminates with a shot in the dark and the arrival of the police, unable to assemble any evidence.

The song was covered by Die Toten Hosen, featuring Kurt Raab, in a non-album single in 1984.

It was also covered by The Deadfly Ensemble, appearing as a bonus track on their album "An Entire Wardrobe of Doubt and Uncertainty".

gollark: It does also seem to be a difficult problem to have large scale meshes without trusting everyone involved or manually configuring things.
gollark: Some sort of mesh networking would make more sense than everything having expensive hardware to communicate with a faraway tower, for that.
gollark: How do you do IR phased arrays? I thought you couldn't really control the phase well enough given the high frequency? Something something lasers?
gollark: Do you count websockets as HTTPS?
