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.
Im Text behauptet Urlaub zudem, der ebenfalls blondierte Scooter-Shouter H.P. Baxxter sei sein Alter Ego, im Clip empfängt er auch ein an ihn adressiertes Paket. Das passt hervorragend zu den Songlyrics, in denen der Hörer aufgefordert wird: „Google doch mal Sex mit Alexa“.
We can see that the doctors would have some entertaining ideas for some special VR experiences and stories.
