I wonder if there are more Turkish or Urdu songs on German radio, or German songs.

Good one. Though Falco's German original makes for a lame video.

So I fly up to the land of the Whiskey Rebellion, the old Western Reserve, once every six weeks to deal with Ye Olde Homestead (bloody sandstone basements...and I grew up in a place with no basements because the water table is only six feet beneath the surface...so I know crap all to start with)
Grab a car service out of PIT, CLE or CAK, wherever is cheapest to fly into. Driver and I are talking on the way home. He tells me about this place:

Went, had a great meal, real beer, and entertainment.

I heard what I thought was a German “Oompah” band on the radio a few years back. I finally realized it was Mexican music, when I heard the singing. Funny how both musical styles use the same instruments.

New Braunfels, TX has a Mexican-German-fest every year where the two cultures are mixed together. The city has a history of both populations lving side by side.

“I heard what I thought was a German Oompah band on the radio a few years back....”
There were a lot of German immigrants to Texas, for example New Braunfels, TX, and those rhythms and instruments are German. The Germans mixed with the Mexican/Texicans and you get that music and good beer and sausages.

You wee hearing German music. Outside the US, the largest German migration was to Mexico.
A lot in the north of Mexico, the current “Música Norteña” (northern music) is a music genre that exists thanks of the German and Scandinavian settlers that came to the north of Mexico. When Maximilian I became emperor of Mexico in the Second Mexican Empire, he opened the doors to a lot of europeans immigrants.
There was an open debate here in the US in the beginning over the *official* language of the US being English or German.
