The combination of Pop and politics is a tricky. is because pop has long been not well elucidated per se and progressive. And because politics is just also become issues of staging to Pop, much more conscientious than this, Super Pop did, and furthermore has often not much more to offer. That belongs to the pop music, some pop songs that come at campaign events to use, of course – and then it can sometimes lead to serious misunderstandings. And now and then a revolt of Popseite.

So now, like the “time” advance reports, the blank techno DJ Paul van Dyk through his lawyer the Alternative for Germany (AfD) a declaration of failure to come, with which he unauthorized right party “any use “of his play” we are endeavors we prohibit “. Björn Höcke, the leader of the AFD in Thuringia, had lost the piece that sings the Gothic-and-gloom-pop musician Peter Heppner (Wolfsheim, Goethes Erben, Schiller and others) and the van Dyk composed, last year at the monthly AfD can import -Kundgebungen at the Erfurt Cathedral Square, most recently in January this year

Even Aerosmith and Adele have Donald Trump prohibited playing their songs

that sounds a correctly that Paul van Dyk against this kind of collection by him politically unrelated party defends. It is said that he SPD supporters. In general, he stands with his song ban Sans interior in a long line of pop musicians who contest the refusal sat that their pieces are played on campaign events. Helene Fischer ban the NPD in 2015 playing their smash hits “Breathless” at campaign events.

Die Toten Hosen protested in 2013 against the inflationary risk of their track “Days like these” at performances of both CDU as SPD politicians; and the United States sent the last band Aerosmith the Republican presidential candidates, Donald Trump, a cease and desist because Trump went fishing for votes with her piece “Dream On”. Also Adele and R.e.m. called Trump on their song “Rolling In The Deep”, “Skyfall” (both by Adele) and not to play “It’s The End Of The World As we Know It” (R.e.m.) on campaign events.

But who are those songs, if they are for once in the world and run on all media channels? Who can defend themselves against monopolization of the wrong side already? Pop in its ubiquity and its Überallsein has against the policies and hugs little chance. “The Kids are not alright” was the essay that Diedrich Diedrichsen wrote in the early nineties, not least in response to the hooligans who in with Malcolm X berets, Public Enemy- and Dinosaur Jr. T-Shirts East German cities had hunted down immigrants.

One of the most misunderstood songs in pop history: “Born In The USA”

You have it now think again because simple, catchy pop slogans and taste rhythms be used arbitrarily and interpreted , For example, Bruce Springsteen “Born In The U.S.A.”, one of the most misunderstood pop songs of music history, even by Republicans often and loved singing, though he talks about the flip side of the American dream. Or Neil Young’s “Rockin ‘In The Free World” (where Young had however expressed occasional sympathy for Ronald Reagan).

And “We are we”, which fits so well always. However, it says in the play, among other things: “risen from the ruins we thought / We have a dream vollbracht./40 years we moved to a Strang./Aus ashes we made gold”. And, a verse continues: “Now everything is different again / And what was there before, is no longer worth anything today.” These are verschwiemelte, but not overly cryptic lines. Paul van Dyk would be because not need so much surprised that this just AfD well fit into the political concept
