After writing this little entry, I added Bye Bye to the site at Lyrics Gaps.

While engaging in the German-teacher-version of Youtubing, I encountered this video.  From what I quickly gathered from the descriptions below and at the end of the video: I think that 1) the song is an earlier song of Cro, pre-fame, and it was republished with other earlier songs after his first record had a lot of success and 2) the video, a combination of two different videos, stems from some sort of "make-a-video" competition.  Obviously, the person who made the second half had a lot of connections, since the blond-haired dreamy guy (whom the girl runs after) is the actor Matthias Schweighöfer, who is quite a German film star.  We have not seen anything he's in during class (to my recollection), but that is not due to him but the fact that many of his films are *just* far enough on the weird half of the "it's an European film"-spectrum that I have not been comfortable showing it in class.

Cro, however, is ridiculously cool *and* full of positive lyrics!

Now, obviously there are two "chapters" to this video, but what is the difference in the lyrics?  What happens between Chapter 1 and Chapter 2?

Here is a link to the lyrics: http://www.songtextemania.com/bye_bye_songtext_cro.html
