Gunther and his "Sunshine Girls" are making a comeback after last summer's Eurotrash hit, The Ding-Dong Song. For those who haven't seen Gunther shake it in daisy-dukes while singing about his 'Tra-La-La,' the video is a must. Be sure to wait until the end for the payoff.
Now Gunther has his own site, Gunthernet.com, complete with photos, a screensaver, and wallpapers. He may be pretty to look at but his tunes are decidedly the best feature of all. Since I last rocked out to the Ding-Dong Song (which I actually *purchased* from iTunes), he's come out with two more music videos.
Touch Me (With Samantha Fox) is an uninspired video. The tune is catchy, but Samantha Fox is freaky. Her initial eye-opening shot is reminisce of Japanese Horror. (I cringe at the implied video-phone-sex between she and Gunther.) Ooh, Gunther, you're so sexy, she whispers, in-between shots of a woman crawling on her hands and knees for no discernable reason (who is she? where is she going?) and bois with shaved chests feeding each other grapes. At best, it leaves one wondering what Samantha Fox is doing in Euro-trashpop. At worst, it's basically a video orgie of girls and androgynous guys fondling Gunther while eating fruit.
Fruit seems to be Gunther's new "thing." His second video, Tutti Frutti Summer Love is full of ripe bananas & melonas, literally. Though it can't oust the Ding Dong Song from its eurotrash throne, it comes close. The filmography is actually pretty good for something that's pretty much just shots of people jumping on a trampoline partially clothed and throwing fruit in the air. The horrid lip-synching by girls with decent bodies and insufferably ugly faces is somewhat intolerable, but it's cancelled out by the AWESOME fat Hawaiian man playing the guitar.
Gunther drops suggestive lines as usual, including it's a no-no/and I like it and doing the naked dance but nothing *too* lurid. Watch carefully though... toward the end of the video you'll catch a glimpse of some REAL bananas. There's several-frame scene near the end of the video featuring a completely naked man flying through the air. Alas, I paused it and it's not the main man himself.
Pouty lips and mullets will be the next big thing. Here's to you, Gunther.

How he makes that mullitude, that trash 'stache, and those poufy lips work for him is truly amazing. I gotta check out the new videos!
