So we finally got to chat to Kahn Morbee, the lead singer of The Parlotones, following this week’s controversial public discussion about their latest music video. The video sees The Parlotones singing a new song, “Come Back As Heroes” to the German football players, in the middle of a football stadium jam-packed full of Germans waving German flags. But more to the point, and the part that a lot of people tend to forget (when comparing it to past examples where people have sung songs for other nations), this is during the World Cup which South Africa is hosting.
