Damenwahl


Damenwahl is the third studio album of the German punk band Die Toten Hosen. The term "Damenwahl" appears in "Verflucht, verdammt, gebrandmarkt" and the intro of "Altbierlied". It is regarded by some as the weakest album by DTH.
"Bis zum bitteren Ende" is originally from Opel-Gang, here sung a cappella. "Schwarzwaldklinik" is based on and titled after popular German TV series The Black Forest Clinic. "Wort zum Sonntag" is a punk anthem titled after a couple of German church TV shows and a tribute to Johnny Thunders. It features a line "Solange Johnny Thunders lebt, solange bleib ich ein Punk". After his death the band didn't perform this song for a long time; later they used another line: "Hey Johnny, kannst du uns grad sehen? Wir vergessen dich nicht. Wir werden überall von dir erzählen, damit dein Name ewig weiterlebt". "Agent X" the first English-language song that the band released on a studio album.
