"Brother Louie." tore up all the Soviet discos! The song was so popular in the USSR that a famous national disc jockey Sergey Minaev even made his own interpretation (which, by the way, also caught on).

I'll keep it shining wherever I go.
You are my heart, my soul
I will hold you forever
I'll stay with you together..."

And the song's popularity has been unexpectedly revived these days by social networks! Composition about "dear lady." serves as a great accompaniment to mini-clips about the world's beauties and icons of cinema, such as Marilyn Monroe.

We're sure it's hard to find a better tune to describe all the charm of a woman...

Listen to your heart.
Dear, dear lady,
To know you is to love you.
If you call me,
Baby, I'll always be yours..."

Geronimo's Cadillac

We are sure that many people remember this melodic composition. By the way: it successfully complemented the fourth album Modern TalkingBut at the same time, it has become alarm bells for the project. This is their first single that did not reach the top of the German chart. In spite of everything the song became a hit in Europe, but just a year after its release the duo split...

As for the lyrical stuffing, the "Cadillac Geronimo.The lyrics for which Dieter wrote are about... love, of course! It seems that when it comes to the works of Modern Talking, it can't be otherwise. Although this song also talks about a fantastic machine that drives all the girls crazy...

"Cadillac Geronimo.
Makes all the girls sad.
Geronimo understands them - ah, what a car he has!"

Do You Wanna

Another composition of the duo that we would like to recall, and which was loved in the USSR, is "Do You Wanna" from their debut studio album. It's groovy and rhythmic, sung on behalf of a hero who's ready to warm his beloved with tenderness and love...

"I'll be your nightly loving doctor..."

It is worth noting the success of the debut album Dieter and Anders! It sold over 6 million copies worldwide, and the singles from it hit the charts and made it to a very good position. It was a great start!

Just We Two (Mona Lisa)

Finally, we offer a reminder of the wonderful "Mona Lisa."which was released on the duo's third album. The composition was the second track in a row, and its lyrics, as always, are saturated with romance and high feelings...

"Good guys only succeed in movies,
And in reality, vicious women are messing with their heads,
There will never be anyone like you again.
It's true..."

In the song, the main character declares that there is no woman like "her" in the world. And that it does not matter what position he is in now: even "penniless" he's the happiest in the world as long as she's around.
