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]

A live performance in German TV 1988:

Observations on Climate Change pt 2

Copied from thermodynamicsociety.substack.com Comparing the Time Frames (500 million years of climate change) Planetary temperature fluctuations: Internal or external causes? Lately, the focus in things climate change has shifted from Thunberg (perceived cause: internal forces ) back to Milankovic (perceived cause: external forces ) and back again within just a few months. Nevertheless, the fact remains that, though astronomic or cosmic cycles and positions can be predicted with utmost precision, weather and climate on Earth still and most obviously can not ; it seems there may be other factors involved; like - well, perhaps, indeed, the makeup of the planet's atmosphere. So, the following is premised on the assumption that, just as does the Sun's intensity, the position of Earth in Space, and even its own geothermal heat, atmospheric carbon dioxide can and does influence this planet's surface temperature ; at least it is doing so under the current ...

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...
