Today's Easy Like Sunday Morning Track is brought to you by Scorpions. This is off of the German band's 1990 album Crazy World.
This song is a celebration of the end of the Cold War and a new policy of openness and transparency in the Soviet Union government (known as Glasnost). The band was inspired to write the song on a visit to Russia and is evident in the following lyrics which include Russian landmarks:
I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park
Listening to the wind of change
This single is one of the greatest selling singles of all time. In Germany, it is remembered as the song of German reunification and a message of hope.
