Nina Hagen


A little something about Nina Hagen
Nina Hagen's path to pop music stardom took a different path than most. Born in East Berlin in 1955, she studied music and sang throughout East Germany before leaving for the West in 1976 with her expelled stepfather, dissident poet Wold Biermann. While she had left her studies, band and fans behind, it took Hagen little time to carve a nitch for herself in western Europe. She recorded some punk material in London before returning to Germany to put together the Nina Hagen Band, which would make a name for themselves churning out edgy, often bizarre dance music. Hagen's music inspired a loyal club following, and gave her a handful of hits in the US, Europe and Australia. She has continued to record well into the 90s.
New York New York

New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
New York City is my favorite place
'Cause I know so many people with a golden face
Uh-huh!
It's always late at night when I wanna go out
And New York City has for sure the horniest crowd
Especially for me, this is true
I have the best time when you're there too
Honey, after the show, when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up 

New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York! 

New York City is the hottest place
For a honeymoon in a hotel room
Uh-huh!
New York City is a place so nice
Everybody says it so they had to name it twice
New York my happy love's you, I love you very much
I could not live without you, so let's always keep in touch
New York City has the fanciest rule
When you want to live in this town you just have to be a fool 

After the show when we are ready to go
We are going disco
But before we hit East 7th Street
We are going to another disco
Disco, after disco
And shaking our hair to the disco rap
AM/PM, Pyramid, Roxy, Mudd Club, Danceteria
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up
The newest club is opening up 

New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York
New York, New York! 

It's going hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top
Hop hop hop hop hop hop
Straight up to the top
Let there be light
'Cause David Bowie's gonna be here tonight in New York
I create ecstacy in my world
I know who I am
And I am willing to declare myself to the world
I am a star!
In New York
Whosoever with me
