Annotation — European Songs
Berlin, Germany-based Hip Hop artist, born Marc Junge, released the song "Guten Morgen Vietnam" (Showdown Records # SHOW1013) - the title is a German translation of 1987 film Good Morning, Vietnam, based around the rebellious radio broadcaster Adrian Cronauer, who began each show with "Good Morning Vietnam" - one of several Hip Hop songs to use this well-known film as a metaphor for violence: "life rages on the street, the houses are empty".

Lyrics
English: They told me, yes, they told me / Come back before you lose your mind / Just one piece - just one step / Good morning Vietnam... / Great flap that destroys friendship / Prosperity, cannabis and herbal liqueur / Life rages on the street, the houses are empty / Big city tapestries, jump crisscross / The zoo keeper is no longer in control / Wooden guns against Colts from the military, pride against honor / Danger zone, sniper rifle in sight / Too long awake, resigned to sleepiness / Angry citizens, exercise makes the killer / A city recalls, the diversity is destroyed / Slogans on handouts / Stones against batons, from catchphrases brand sets / And I wonder what the blood is on my sneakers / "It was all good just a week ago
