Arguably, Udo Lindenberg's Anglo-American reputation rests on just three songs -- the brutal self-deprecation of "Germans", the violent denunciations of "Berlin", and "Americans In Europe", a club hit throughout the continent during 1986, and the still-stunning highlight of that year's Phoenix. Clashing "the Ride of the Valkyries" with a solid dance beat, a mocking lyric, and the regular interruptions of a host of American tourists ("how much is that in real money?" "damn, this place is old" and "is there a McDonalds around here some place?" are the best), "Americans In Europe" might not be the most politically correct celebration of cross-cultural inter-actions, but it's certainly one of the funniest.
