Side 4 starts in the same downbeat mood as the third. Well, I say "downbeat"; in theory this song was supposed to be uplifting, dealing with the Western world's excitement about the fall of the Berlin wall and the fact that the USSR was collapsing as the song reached its peak position over here. And this despite the fact that Scorpions were apparently the first Western Rock band to play in Moscow, which you'd think would have been enough to put anybody off capitalism for life.
OK, so at least the broader subject matter does distract them from their usual sexist lyrics. But this turgid, constipated-sounding tripe isn't much of an improvement. Reportedly this is the world's biggest-selling single by a German act; Lou Bega was robbed.
