The Sweet - Legendary Music

in Musiclast year (edited)

( EN / DE ) The inspiration for this #threetunestuesday post actually didn't come from me, but via the #edtopic for which @mypathtofire has chosen the theme "Sweets" this week.
Die Inspiration zu diesem #threetunestuesday Post kam tatsächlich nicht von mir, sondern über das #edtopic, für das @mypathtofire diese Woche das Thema "Süssigkeiten" (Sweets) ausgewählt hat.

On this picture you can see my absolute long time always favorite sweets! ILDEFONSO is, as far as I know, only available in Austria and all Austrians who read this will probably now immediately have the old advertising slogan "Ildefonso - Don Alonso" in mind?
They are little chocolate cubes with nougat. Very sweet and very tasty!

Auf diesem Foto seht ihr meine absolute langzeit immer beliebte Süssigkeit! ILDEFONSO gibt es meines Wissens nur in Österreich und alle Österreicher, die das lesen werden jetzt wohl sofort den alten Werbeslogan "Ildefonso - Don Alonso" im Kopf haben?
Es sind kleine Schokolade Würfel mit Nougat. Sehr süss und sehr lecker!

My Three Tunes for this Tuesday:

Maybe not quite as sweet, but very good and enormously successful at the time is the British band The Sweet. Who still knows them? Who knows their songs?
Formed in 1968, the year I was born, they were very well known in the 70s with many songs that everyone knew at the time.
From today's point of view they may sound very unusual, I don't know how it would be to hear the sound and this voice now for the first time, for me as I said it is a fascinating childhood memory, just like when I treat myself to delicious ILDEFONSO from time to time :-)

Vielleicht nicht ganz so süß, aber sehr gut und seinerzeit enorm erfolgreich ist die britische Band The Sweet. Wer kennt sie noch? Wer kennt ihre Songs?
Gegründet in meinem Geburtsjahr 1968 waren sie in den 70ern sehr bekannt mit vielen Songs, die damals jeder kannte.
Aus heutiger Sicht mögen sie vielleicht sehr ungewöhnlich klingen, ich weiß nicht wie es wäre den Sound und diese Stimme jetzt zum ersten mal zu hören, für mich wie gesagt ist es eine faszinierende Kindheitserinnerung, genau so wie wenn ich mir von Zeit zu Zeit leckere ILDEFONSO gönne :-)

TTT1 - Sweet - Poppa Joe

Let me start with a song I wasn't even aware was by The Sweet!?? I know it from my childhood of course, it must have been on the radio a lot, but I didn't know that The Sweet sang it.
Lasst mich mit einem Song beginnen, von dem mir gar nicht bewusst war, dass er von The Sweet ist!? Ich kenne den natürlich aus meiner Kindheit, er muss sehr oft im Radio gelaufen sein, aber dass es The Sweet gesungen haben wusste ich nicht.

TTT2 - The Sweet - Blockbuster

So typical sound and it's fascinating, this song is actually 50 years old! For me a great classic.
So typischer Sound und es ist faszinierend, dieser Song ist tatsächlich 50 Jahre alt! Für mich ein großer Klassiker.

Sweet - Blockbuster - Top Of The Pops 25.01.1973 (OFFICIAL)

TTT3 - The Sweet - Ballroom Blitz

An absolute favorite song of mine, which at the time as well as today, I still love to hear and with which I can hardly sit still.
In fact this song is so actual that Ballroom Blitz so it was used in 2016 for a trailer of Suicide Squad.

Ein absoluter Lieblings Song von mir, den seinerzeit wie auch heute immer noch total gerne höre und bei dem ich kaum still sitzen kann.
Tatsächlich so aktuell, dass Ballroom Blitz im Jahr 2016 für einen Trailer von Suicide Squad verwendet wurde.

Oh yeeeeaaaaaaaah! It was like lightning...
everybody was frightening....
and the music was soothing....
and they all started grooooooving....
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Haha, who doesn't know these lines? So you probably clearly were born after the year 1980 ;-) But here's your chance to listen to one of the best songs ever:
Haha, wer kennt diese Zeilen nicht? Dann wurdest du wohl eindeutig nach dem Jahre 1980 geboren ;-) Aber hier ist deine Chance einen der besten Songs ever zu hören:

But if you think The Sweet are just history, you're sorely mistaken. One of the original band members is still very much alive and so Andy Scott is still active under the bandname The Sweet, there is a super maintained brand new Youtube Channel and with a different lineup of course and they were 2022 still busy on tour.
Wer aber denkt, The Sweet wären nur Geschichte, der irrt gewaltig. Eines der ursprünglichen Bandmitglieder ist noch sehr lebendig und so ist Andy Scott immer noch unter dem Band Namen The Sweet aktiv, es gibt einen super gepflegten brandaktuellen Youtube Channel und mit anderer Besetzung natürlich und sie waren 2022 noch eifrig auf Tour.

I know Sweet! I even remember them! Every now and then when I really need to get myself moving I'll pop on Ballroom Blitz and find myself energised again. Great songs!

Ildefonso looks delicious.

I love The Sweet. Especially Ballroom Blitz, one of my all time favorites.
Fantastic selection.

Damals witzelte ich (wir) über die Pyjamaband und unglaublich was sie erreicht haben und wie lange damals auch meine Haare waren. War ne tolle Zeit, danke für die schöne Erinnerung auch an die "Ildefonso Don Alonso".

Nope, don't know em or any of their tunes. Looking forward to having a wee listen now though and I like your theme for the week, it's cool to see each person's way of picking each week.

Sweet - Poppa Joe -- Hey that was a lot of fun, really enjoyed that now, funky song, funky video, funky vibe, can't stop the foot tapping to it. Serious Limbo moves too!!! Cool to see your man still rocking out in that last video too!

Can it be, I found music you didnt know? ;-)
