Oh, the first one is a legendary classic. Finland has got the "do direct covers of all the German hits from the 70's" - scene well covered:

That also is true for Germany. There's for example a song using Black Sabbaths Paranoid melodies with some German lyrics about the Hound of Baskerville https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MwnFX0_H-rA

This is without a doubt the best cover version of "Paranoid" I have ever heard.

Didn't Finland have an entire culture of doing spoofs on old German shit, like TV series? I've seen Die Kühe and I think it's absolutely awesome. (The Dutch also did a good impression in Jiskefet.)

And I remember watching / listening to lots of M. A. Numminen. Not sure if that's just the stuff that found its way back to Germany and me... But nonetheless...

The thing with the tv series might be a thing of the past, though. I'm not sure if anyone still remembers "Der Alte" or "Derrick". It's probably not that funny without the context. And how we watch TV has certainly changed during the last decades.
