The video clips of partying young Germans dancing and singing “Ausländer raus” are shaking the German establishment.

The security service has been called in to investigate those involved, and the politicians are threatening years in prison.

It is the text of the 90s hit “L'Amour Toujours” by Gigi D'Agostino that has been changed so that the message now instead reads: Out with the immigrants, Germany for the Germans.

Now L' Amour Toujours is banned from being played at the Octoberfest in Munich and other events. Something that is criticized by the German DJ Association.

– This is catastrophic. Who are we to censor songs? says Dirk Wöhler to RND.

According to Wöhler, it should be particularly important to play the song now, “to show that we are multicultural”.

Gigi D'Agostino herself has simultaneously entered forward and commented on what happened. His song is about love, he explains.

– My song “L'amour toujours” is about a wonderful, big and intense feeling that binds people together. It is the power of love that I celebrate, D'Agostino said this weekend according to ZDF Heute.
