Tango Corrupti Lyrics

Rainhard Fendrich - Tango Corrupti

[Verse 1]

We may never really know
the gentleman, who in a summer's night
on a parking lot lay low
and in his hand
he's holding something tight

Two headlights come in from afar
A crunch - we see a dark-blue Jaguar
Pale faces sit inside the car
but the chauffeur
is from Nigeria

The envelope goes in the car
with beating heart
The deal now is perfect
For such a generous donation
you'll acquisition
almost any project

The minister's softly cackling
for he knows that silent crackling
And he whispers, through his lips
just a tiny melody:

[Chorus]

Tango Corrupti...
If someone names you and he spills it
you'll simply just employ a lawyer that can help you
and then swoopity-
whoop you're gone
Even the tax inspector's audit
won't excite us, not one little bit
For everything we have
we have by now anyhow
on the Bahamas

[Verse 2]

The old police chief has his worries
now that he's married
to a top model
He dreams of debt and empty satchels
in every corner
Nothing is going well

A tattooed man is on his heels
and then he feels
a bunch of thousands bills
slipped into his pocket from behind
To every side
his eyes now dart around

The man behind him quietly speaks:
Don't give a squeak
and keep your eyes shut too
And if we can keep it going
I can surely guarantee you
There's much more in it for you!

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]

A Fat Cat CEO man said:
My dear D. A.
this tiny money bust
was but a puny little trifle
made on the side
A bunch of millions just

For I have dough like sugar cubes
You'll stay a rube
with your state's pension
You should really splurge on something
Just like they all do
Maybe a Porsche soon?

For that, some files evaporate
and the photos with the naked
and we'll be singing in unison
just our tiny melody:

[Chorus]

360 Degrees - Division in Time and Space

360 Degrees The partitioning of time and space into 360 steps Partitioning a whole into 360 degrees / 60 minutes with a compass and a ruler as universal instruments for the division of space and time The partitioning of a full circle as a representative of the whole into 360 degrees goes back to Babylonian times of farming and simple technology - 5000 years ago, around 3000 BC to 300 BC. Our current decimal number system is based on the number 10; their numerical system was based on the number 60 . In those days, the emphasis was not , as it is today, on arbitrarily precise mathematics, but on those principally so; it was not about calculations ( these were then neither possible nor needed ), but about division and construction of artifacts with available aids . Within simple life, symmetry, dividing evenly, and fair and correct sharing, are of big, if not existential importance. Since reality itself is but an approxim...

German humor

😀 Rough and politically wrong. In a fake TV documentary many years ago, some faked 'Citizens of Poland' in very loud clothes 'claimed' that their deceased uncle had authored every pop song of the last century, and proceeded to prove this by playing them with tubas and other very loud instruments - making every one sound like a polka. The whole extended family joins in, ' Seductive Sis ' sings while her pay-by-call phone number is displayed on the screen, and so on. "Having stolen their electricity" (another bad cliche, if anything, we're stealing theirs), they are 'forced' to turn the volume down to a whisper from their side so as not to attract too much attention, thereby forcing everyone watching the show to turn up their own TV sets to *full volume* so as to even hear anything - knowing full well they would suddenly turn it up again at the other end, but not WHEN... After lulling the audience by drawing it into the nati...

Economics, Science, and Religion 2

[2] previous / next slide In 1859 , Charles Darwin published his observations on the origin of species , which introduced the concept of evolution into the social discussion: not only in the field of biology , but, as a side effect, in geology as well; the world was no longer static , a completed creation, but a dynamic one, constantly evolving; or at least it had been in the past . However, Creation itself was still in some way considered to be complete and static , at least as far as it was projected into the future ; meaning that evolution may have been the way things had developed up to the present , but no further ; the question why this should be so was carefully avoided. This is just one of the many unsolved paradoxes and mysteries resulting from the incomplete implementation of the discoveries made during the era of industrialization: If the world and its human inhabitants are the result of an evolutionary process, then that ...
