Elke (song)

"Elke" is a punk song by German band Die Ärzte. It's the seventh track from their 1988 album Das ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit... The song's lyrics were inspired by an overweight fan and depict a fictitious love story between Urlaub and the eponymous fan.

Music video "Die Schönen und das Biest"
The video is animated and shows the band performing live, while a gigantic and monstrous girl-fan "attacks" band members with air kisses and such. They fight back until she hits the floor. It turns out that she is still alive and is outraged. The monstrous fan is finally killed with a tank. == Track listing ==
