From memory... If you mean the 'Band' with the chaps dressed as Baseball players and a girl singer, then the two songs I remember were:

Super Trooper - Abba
Don't Stand So Close To Me - The Police

There was another, I can't remember.



There's only one "Return," okay, and it ain't of the King, it's of the Jedi.

"Zeig mir die Nacht Marie" by Münchener Freiheit in the Episode "Home Thoughts From Abroad".
There was also another song from this Band in another episode, but I don't remember the name now.

And there were some "traditional" German Songs like "Altbierlied" but I don't know who performed it (there are many versions of this).

And there were some cover versions of chart hits like "Super Trouper" by ABBA and other quite well known songs.

If it's any use, there seemed to be the Dusseldorf national anthem, or something like that, one of the songs having lyrics like "Ich war in Dusseldorf geboren..."

They also do a cover of Ultravox's 'Vienna' with the guitarist on vocals.

When Barry and Wayne are trying to get into room 612 at The Intercontinental, that is Ingrid Peters singing a German version of PH.D's 'I Won't Let You Down'....playing on the German couples hotel radio.

The same song "I Won't Let You Down" in German can be heard in the episode "Suspicion" when they are in the bar...

In the episode "The Alien", when Gary and Wayne are sitting in that place (probably a cafe or a bar) that is supposed to be in Düsseldorf, although only cars from Hamburg are parked outside. They have a nice view out of the window to see the porn cinema on the other side of the street... In the background - probably from the radio - we can hear the German Coverversion of Shakin' Stevens song "Oh Julie". I know only of one German coverversion of that song. It was sung by "Benny", whose real name was "Benny Schnier" by the way. So that's probably him singing "Oh Julie" in German.
