#dada

this tune was my first connection with dada, even though i didn't know it back then. back then, i had heard the name dada but didn't have any idea about what dada might be. probably some ancient stuff from the stone age of the 20th century. related to culture, like lits and music and such.

it took decades for me to learn about the ursonate, by kurt schwitters. and when i had learned about it, i remembered that i had heard it before, way back when i was starting to listen to music ...

and it took me decades to realise it comes from the same source as talking heads' i zimbra

and again talking heads. way back, when i was young i got me on of their records from my pocket money: fear of music. and one of these songs was totally cryptic: i zimbra. it might have been some unkown language ... but i couldn't figure out what it was.

well; as a german teen, with english texts i was used to ignore the parts i didn't get. that's what everybody does with foreign text here. i really liked this songe, even though i didn't understand a single word ... but decades later i noticed: it was no nonsense, it was dada. just like kurt schwitters ...

i still wonder, how do you compose a song about a text when you don't understand a single word ..
