German a cappella mathematical group Wise Guys were a almost unlikely success chronicle. Not only ar a cappella groups a echt rarity in the twenty-first one C, simply the barbershop-style quintet managed to hit remarkable commercial success in the German-language earth, selling out concerts and cathartic increasingly popular albums. It helped, of course, that the group panax quinquefolius laughable, often humorous pop songs that appropriated aspects of concurrently popular music, from rap and reggae to careen and techno -- all the while singing alone relieve of musical instruments. The popularity of the Wise Guys seemed to reach an acme with Wireless (2006), a concept album fashioned in the manner of a radio air, including jingles and news bulletins (even a horoscope). Wireless ailing at number trey on the German album charts, held back from the phone number one spot only by the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Silbermond; it remained in the Top 100 for 15 weeks -- non spoilt for an a cappella handout.The Wise Guys began in Cologne, Germany, where members Daniel Dickopf, Edzard Hüneke, Marc Sahr, Clemens Tewinkel, and Christoph Tettinger were enrolled as students from 1981 to 1990 at Hildegard von Bingen Gymnasium. Upon graduation, they began pursuing a professional music career and made their recording debut with Dut-Dut-Duah! (1994), which was by and large in English and included some covers (e.g., "VIII Days a Week"). Tettinger leftfield the group in 1995 and was replaced by Ferenc Husta, wHO made his debut on the following Wise Guys tone ending, Haarige Zeiten (1996), which exhibited a change over toward original German-language real. Thereafter the guys were offered a recording sign up with EMI, and they proceeded to track record their first-class honours degree album in a professional studio with a genuine producer, Uwe Baltrusch, wHO would go along to work with the Wise Guys on sequent albums. The result, Alles im Grünen Bereich (1997), was almost entirely written by Dickopf and sung dynasty in German, with the exception of a Billy Joel insure ("Lullabye [Goodnight, My Angel]"), and so was the next Wise Guys album, Skandal (1999), which included some other Joel insure ("Stem Beer Rag"), a insure of Extreme's "More Than Words," and almost divertingly, one of the co-occurrent James Bond paper song, "Bucephela clangula."The Wise Guys had started to put on commercial traction round this meter. They affected to Pavement Records and released Live (2000), a concert display case featuring the majority of their best songs to date. It was their first to crack the German Top 100 record album chart, arrival number 93. Their next, Ganz Weit Vorne (2001), did more than crack the Top 100; it over up breaking the Top 50, partly on story of the group's first bona fide shoot single, "Jetzt Ist Sommer." The Wise Guys' hit stripe continued with Klartext (2003) and Wo der Pfeffer Wächst (2004), and they served their intumescency fan foundation a phone number of non-album releases, including a pair of EPs (Früher, 2004; Weltmeister, 2005) and DVDs (Impertinent Guys, 2003; Wise Guys Spezialnacht Philipshalle Düsseldorf, 6. November 2004, 2005), in addition to steady concert appearances passim the German-language earth. All of this activity rig the leg for Radio (2006), the most successful Wise Guys tone ending to date. Fashioned in the manner of a radio broadcast, the concept album peaked at issue trey on the album chart and remained in the Top hundred for an impressive 15 weeks, affirming the singular popularity of the Wise Guys. An iTunes-exclusive individual, "Klinsi, Warum Hast Du hyrax Getan?," was besides issued in 2006.
