Im Springbrunnen (baden mit nackten Milliardären)

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]

Willst du ein Eis? (Mh-mh), will ich nicht

Willst du eine Milliarde Likes? (Mh-mh), will ich nicht

Willst du den richtigen Aktienfonds? Will ich nicht

Ich will im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

[Verse 2]

Doktor Freud, sag, was bedeutet das?

Dieser Drang nach reichen Kreisen, die im öffentlichen Raum entgleisen

Ich bin bereit, steh in Neoprenhosen drunter, mein Freund, lass den Kontostand sehen

Ich weiß nicht, warum, ich kann es mir selbst nicht erklären

[Chorus]

Ich will im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Mit diesem süßen Gefühl von “Jetzt ist doch eh schon egal”

Also komm, nur dieses prickelnde eine Mal

[Verse 3]

Was ist bloß mit mir los?

Meine Freunde sagen: “Denk groß”

Meine Freunde sagen: “Denk groß”, okay

Ich will ByteDance und Meta, den Springer-Konzern, Elf Aquitaine und Nestlé

Die zerschlag ich dann und kauf mir alle Intendanten der ARD

Dann lass ich sie auf allen Kanälen vom Ende des Kapitalismus erzählen

Dazu läuft die Show, deren Titel wird sich selbst erklären

[Chorus]

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Schalten Sie ein und seien Sie dabei

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Mit diesem süßen Gefühl von “Jetzt ist doch eh schon egal”

Also komm, nur dieses prickelnde eine Mal

[Verse 4]

Keine Zeit, das Hemd anzulassen und die Taschen zu leeren

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Kommt die Fee, um mir noch einen Wunsch zu gewähren

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Bis sich die Nachbarn beschweren

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

Kommt die Polizei, fragt: “Was soll ‘n das werden?”

Im Springbrunnen baden mit nackten Milliardären

[Outro]

Du hast im Schlaf so gelacht

Sag, wovon hast du geträumt?

Ich weiß es nicht mehr

Aber am Ende hats so schön geschäumt

Party ideas we’ve enjoyed during the pandemic that are safe and fun for all

Keywords: party ideas , planning

Our best idea to safeguard all residents came when the assisted living facility called us back to work. The residents all have balconies and everyone is still separated but yet all together. We could hear them singing and applauding to the performance we put on for them. The music is tailored to the crowd we’re playing for. Condo’s and high rise residential buildings with balconies usually face in to a courtyard area. We set up our speakers to cover an entire side of the building and played our hearts out. No contact and no need for any special extra safety measures. This party is our most popular of all the idea’s we’ve had. Hire a DJ for your balcony party!

As soon as Yemi Alade (‘woman of Steel’) saw this post from this Twitter user, she immediately took it upon herself to school the user

Letting him know that herself and some others that are the ‘truly international’ artists, are steady getting paid thousands of foreign currency in royalties. Monthly and quarterly. Damn! That’s what I’m talking about baby. Soft work!

I met Haley Johnsen the other day — these are the boots she was wearing:

Haley Johnsen boots 2020-01-30-108

Her feet were performing as an essential part of the rhythm section (as were her hands) to accompany her wonderful, mesmerizing, authentic and strongly feeling beautiful voice. If you think I’m jiving you, then watch this:

If you want to hear her play live you should find out where she’s “now playing” + maybe she will be as nice to you as she was to me + autograph her new live recording “Live at Abbey Road”. When you listen to it + hear the last track, she will sing “goodbye” to you + you probably won’t want to let her go. You will wonder when will Haley Johnsen ever come back again. Just press replay!

This summer I’ve been on a journey to find myself (ugh I already hate how that sounds lol). But I honestly do mean it. I’ve been on a journey to really find myself and obtain happiness by being a little more selfish in the things I treat myself to. I’ve been learning to do things, just for me, and nobody else, to make myself happy and become more independent.

Where is this coming from? Well, I got dumped earlier this year and it absolutely crushed me. [insert backstory here of what happened] I decided that for myself to move forward, I needed to distract myself and keep busy. So, I turned to something I always loved: electronic music.

I have always loved electronic music since college. However, I found that over the years, I stopped listening to it as often for various reasons: ex-boyfriends didn’t like it, I thought I…
