Parkinson Blues EP

THE SHOW MUST GO ON (YOPD)

Text Stefan Weber
Übersetzung Gerald Ganglbauer

I am always hoarse
The voice is getting lower
Dressing suddenly takes longer
The buttonhole becomes narrower
Fiddling the key in its hole is hard
Can’t find the way into the sleeve
I walk as I am totally drunk
But suddenly I feel like 25
The old force floods back in
I hear my fans shout my name
I’m getting stronger
Getting back to my old self

I want a persistent erection
Fuck Parkinson’s

Forget about skiing
Dancing is difficult, too
I was Travolta on the dance floor
Now I watch or go to bed
People think I’m just a drunk
But suddenly I feel the dopamine
I know that I’m the best
I must perform without fail
As if my life depends on it

Badhoven & Gerald Ganglbauer
Parkinson Blues

Wienerisch / Viennnese German
Stefan Weber

I bin immer heiser
Die Stimme, die wird leiser
Des Oziagn dauert plötzlich länger
Des Knopfloch wird auf amoi enger
Ins Schlüsselloch treffen is a Gfrett,
Des Loch im Ärmel find i ned
I torkel daher als war i blunznfett
Oba auf amoi bin i 25
Die oide Kraft schiaßt ma ein
I her die Fans mein Namen schrein
I werd immer stärker
Werd zum Berserker

I wüü a Dauererektion
I scheiß auf den Parkinson

(the show must go on)

Schifoan kann i nimma mehr
Auch tanzen geht nur mehr schwer
I woa der Travolta am Tanzparkett
Jetzt schau i zua oder geh ins Bett
Torkel als war i blunznfett
Oba plötzlich spür i des Dopamin
I waas dass i der beste bin
I derf ma jetzt kaa Blöße gebn
I spüü ois gangat’s um mei Leben

I kriag a Dauererektion
Ich scheiß auf den Parkinson

I wüü a Dauererektion
I scheiß auf den Parkinson

(the show must go on)

Fuck Parkinson’s

How Will It Be

I’m driving here alone
The road I’ve ever known
When the night comes in
Will it change
My life so rough
I ask my stars above
How will I know, how

But I’m here to be with you
Forever be with you

Baby, how will it be
If I’m holding you tight
How will it be
If I love you tonight
How will it be
If I’m sharing all
All my dreams with you

I feel I’m not alone
With the fight I’ve ever known

Will you stand by me
Take my hand, take me all
Take the centre of my soul
Then you will know, you will

Why I’m here to be with you
Forever be with you
Baby, how will it be
If I’m holding you tight
How will it be
If I love you tonight
How will it be
If I’m sharing all
All my dreams with you

I’m here to be with you
Forever be with you

Baby, how will it be
If I’m holding you tight How will it be
If I love you tonight How will it be
If I’m sharing all
All my dreams with you
Forever be with you

Baby, how will it be
How will it be,
how will it be
If I’m sharing all
All my dreams with you
Forever be with you
How will it be

Stattegg ROCKS

February 27, 2021, Badhoven and Friends

Planned in 2020 as Live Rock Concert at the Lässerhof in Stattegg, Austria, this WPC Fund Raiser for Travel Grants to Barcelona had to be postponed for six months, thanks to the Coronavirus. By then the pandemic still wasn’t over. However, the artists were as keen to perform as I was, to make it happen now. The only way around the lockdown was by performing for an audience staying at home, watching us on their cell phones, tablets or big TV screens – in form of a Livestream.

I had never done a video stream before, so Graz Connected was invited to come on board. The collaboration with this experienced partner turned our streaming premiere into a very successful event, with 1,6 Thousand viewers, donating USD 6,000. In addition to the Brett Whiteley Grant, the Gangway Grant, and the Badhoven Grant, at USD 600 each, a total of USD 7,800 were raised this far, to send European YOPd and junior researchers on their way to the 6th WPC in 2023.

Everyone called it a MEGA concert

It was fun. We all had a great time. Our mood was POSITIVE as we all tested NEGATIVE. Between acts, Peter Droneberger interviewed the artists, and I even performed Stefan Weber‘s “Parkinson Blues” together with Badhoven as a tribute to the Viennese rock legend and recited the English translation.

All up a two and a half hours showtime we will not forget.
