the students were chatting instead of completing their work. So I told them I would play it over the speakers until they all turned in their worksheets. Remarkably effective.

A lot of pressure to conform in the New Wave genre in those days and this was a German group

Most here remember Trio or Peter Schilling, maybe Nina Hagen.

I know Marian Gold still performs.
