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:

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 approximation on the mathematically correc

The most beautiful short poem ever

Rooting for Alzheimers All the things you never did And all the things you do They all return in later years They all return to haunt you The most beautiful short poem ever Flutter by, Butterfly Sadly (or rather: gladly) as Google told me, I wasn't the only one to dream that one up. So, no copyright there; and so I tried to top that with the arguably less beautiful, but even shorter poem, the shortest possible ever, so there! I die That's it, Folks! ;-)

Time Gravity Dip

Something to think about... Note that the end speed seems not to change, therefore the second law / conservation of energy is not violated - but somewhere along the way, the effect of gravity shortens the overall time, thus increasing the overall speed (though the actual distance of travel also increased as well), so that the sphere with the longest way to travel paradoxically hits the target first . This works even in repetition: Now imagine the opposite - a cannon ball shot (or a rock hurled) straight up into the air, to fall down exactly where it was: the distance is zero (or, if you miss, very short), but time did pass - and the speed of the projectile was much higher than can be inferred from that resulting 'distance'; in fact, the higher its velocity, the more time passes until it's return, and the slower or lower the resulting overall speed (remember that the trajectory of any missile on earth is always longer than the actual dist
