What do the world's funniest punk rockers Die Ärzte have to do with VR?
German punk rock band Die Ärzte have released a new single: In "True Romance", Farin Urlaub comments on our addictions to smartphones and apps from big companies. In the accompanying video - a continuation of the last clip "Morgens Pauken" video - we see him in best "Ready Player One" manner with virtual reality glasses squatting in a caravan, which is finally thrown over by Rod Gonzalez as a giant robot.
In the lyrics, Urlaub also claims that the likewise blond Scooter shouter H.P. Baxxter is his alter ego, and in the clip he also receives a package addressed to him. This fits in perfectly with the song lyric, in which the listener is asked to "Google sex with Alexa".
We can see that the doctors would have some entertaining ideas for some special VR experiences and stories.
