30 years ago, my mom sat in front of the radio with tears in her eyes: “Elvis is dead!”. And now, you can’t open one newspaper or watch 10 minutes telly without reading or hearing silly stories about “the king”.
Well – Germany’s NAPALM (who later morphed into Napalm Death) released a great mockery of Teds in the year of 1980 – “Tolle” (“hair flip”). They had another 7″ one or two years later which was very much UK influenced HC, but this one is where it’s at. I don’t understnd what he’s singing in “Tolle”, but it makes me burst out in laughter whenever I put it on. Great piss take. “Skinhead” is great too – the vocals gt so damn annoying with all the reverb. Totally punk.
Once again – before downloading, please consider making a financial contribution (use the “donations” button on the left sidebar). As soon as the money necessary for one more year of good bad music is collected, the button will disappear. In the last couple of days, 20$ were donated. Thanks much!

” I don’t understnd what he’s singing…”
Well, the “Paranoia in der Strassenbahn” comp has the lyrics. Here’s them for y’all –
Wenn ich ‘nen Punk seh’ dann schlag’ ich ihn tot
meine Tolle ist so gross wie’n Meterbrot
Auf’n Punk da prügel ich ein
denn ich kann nur der brutale Kai Leng sein
hey hey rufen sie
mein Chako verpasst’ nen Punk nie
Wenn ich ‘nen Punk seh’ dann schlag’ ich ihn tot
meine Tolle ist so gross wie’n Meterbrot
Punk Punk lauf nicht fort
mein Chako arbeitet schon im Akkord
I guess they had it hard in Hamburg with the teds, check out the Buttocks’ “Kreatur”…

Thanks so much for the lyrics, Fernando. “Meine Tolle ist so gross wie’n Meterbrot” – hahaha.
Yeah, I’ve had it too with Teds back then. Everybody did, I guess.

I’m afraid it’s not the Napalm Death from the UK folks,they were originally a Anarcho band who later warped into the grind core band we know today,they’re still going strong today but none of the original members are with them.

Eric is right. Napalm from Germany became Napalm Death from England.

Hallo all,
I´ve had it with this “Napalm Death” Theory…. I was the Drummer in Napalm and I can asure you that none of us had the pleasure of playing in, or not even with Napalm Death from England at any time… Two totaly different Bands… (Different countrys at all)
“Tolle” was a piss take on a, at that time quite well known Teddy Boy hard knock called Kai Leng. We where all like 15 or 16 jears old and there where those grown up fat construction worker type Rock´n Rollers hunting us down in City Center Hamburg to kick the shit out of us. Quite terrifying. So we had to take it with a laugh, and when we played that one live it was more like “Fuck you, we ain´t scared of you…. fat bastards” This single was indeed an act of bravery.. not a failed attempt to sound like fuck´n jerry lee lewis. When Kai Leng found out he apparently went barmy……
So, now you know….
