Thanks to Vorbei at the Fanclub who found these at GEMA. Lyrics and Instrumentals for the Tokio Hotel/Kerli song Strange, soon available on the Almost Alice album are as follows:

Lyrics
Andreas Carlsson
Desmond Child
David Jost
Bill Kaulitz
David Roth

Instrumentals
Patrick Benzner

Also, props to Kerli and her management for getting leaks pulled off Youtube as well! It’s nice that she also respects the art as most of the Tokio Hotel fandom does!

    DANG!! I didnt know it was a leak.. When I found out, I hit myself in the head..

    I FEEL LIKE A BAD FAN!! :’( My stupid friend sent it to me.. If it wasnt for her I would’ve never known..

    I refuse to listen to even the smallest snippet of that song until I own the cd.

    I will stand up in the theater when I hear it play!

    A bit off-topic… does anyone know when a new THTV will be on? I’m dying :[

      don’t worry, the 30 second snippet is NOT a leak, all of the songs on the Almost Alice album have a 30 second preview :) I noticed on youtube that there were versions of the song that were the full length, I held back from watching them though :) I vowed to wait til the album comes out, because then it’ll rlly feel “magical”

      The names listed aren’t the performers, it lists who wrote the song. Gustav and Georg didn’t write any of the songs on the Humanoid album, but the twins co-wrote all songs. Georg and Gustav are listed as songwriter on very few Tokio Hotel songs. It’s mostly the twins who write them.

    I am NOT trying to brag in anyones face, but Im proud that I actually resisted listening to the leaked song, considering that I was listening to the Humanoid samples for DAYS until it came out. ._.” BUUUTTTTT, I am SO getting the CD, and i am SO dressing up like Alice at the premiere at my movie theater. :DD

      sadly I did the same thing about the Humanoid album, but I’m holding back this time, hopefully then I’ll feel not so bad about listening to Humanoid early and disappointing the band :(

    I listened to the song because I thought it was released already. D:
    Someone sent it to me and I didn’t even think about the possibility that it was leaked. :l I feel bad but still, I’ll end up buying the CD.

    i’m disappointed the georg and gustav weren’t involved though…but i’m glad bill wrote it.
    i don’t really know anything about kerli, so i’m not making any final decisions about whether i like her or not until i hear the whole song.

    • coolbreezegirl says:

      Gustav and Georg weren’t writing any of the songs on Humanoid, so I am not surprised nor disappointed that they weren’t inviolved in “Strange” either. I didn’t expect anything else. The songs have always been co-written by the twins.

  14. Helen says:

    Kerli didn’t even help write it! What a loser! She shouldn’t have been in it at all! I really hate her… she can’t sing, she’s ugly, and talentless. it would’ve been sooo much better if it was just bill singing. but i adore the song anyways, our boys are so talented(:

    I haven’t heard the leak and just wasn’t tempted to. But I did flag a few. I mean the album release date is like a hop and a skip away not like months away. And plus TH explained why to many times that they are hurt when that happens. Why hurt TH people? Why?

    I HAVEN’T LOOKED AT THE LEAK! I’m feeling rather proud of myself because I watched the leaks over the summer and it ruined the new album for me. But temptation shall not get the better of me this time!!! * Ties super awesome ninja cape around neck* TALLYHO!!

        The G’s are never credited for Music or Lyrics,even on the Tokio Hotel CD’s. So it is all of Tokio Hotel its just that the G’s are strickly performers and not creaters. The G’s are Amazing at what they do, and so are Bill and Tom.

        NO NO NO NO NO, guys, that’s just who WROTE it, not who performed. Bill and Tom are always the only one’s mentioned in the credits as writers. They all performed. :) Fear not!

      calm down, jeez guys.
      bill said that the g’s LIKE to stay out of the spotlight, they want it that way. and that they’re perfectly fine with bill and tom getting the attention. so stop saying “the g’s need to get more attention!” i mean, i love them to death and i’d love for them to get more attention, but they don’t WANT it.

    I’m glad and pleasantly surprised to see that Tokio Hotel had a much bigger hand in this song than I originally assumed. I thought it was going to be a “Here, the Alice team wrote this and want you two to sing it” kind of thing, but I’m happy to see I was wrong!

      Why are you asking about the Gs? It states who wrote the songs, and it shouldn’t be any news that the Gs don’t write Tokio Hotel’s songs. Thy don’t. It’s basically only the twins who are involved in writing the songs. The G’s play instruments, but they do not compose teh music or wriote the lyrics. Of all the songs Tokio Hotel has made on their albums, Gustav and Georg have been credited for cowriting less than 5 songs. On the Humanoid album, Georg and Gustav didn’t write any of the songs, but the twins were listed as songwriers on every song. And the twins also coproduced the album.

    Georg and Gustav weren’t on the instrumentals?! Um, really?! Well, at least Tom is on there. Maybe there’s a longer list that no one has seen? Anyway, I’m super excited to get my copy. I used the link on the THA home page. Hope you guys get some sort of click-through reward! ;)

      I don’t believe the G’s ever get songwriting credits. In fact on all the albums I have only seem G credits on 2 songs I believe. Somebody correct me if this is not right.

    • coolbreezegirl says:

      It dosn’t list who plays instruments, it lists who wrote the lyrics and music of the song. As usual, Georg and Gustav were not involved in the songwriting process. They play instruments, whereas the twins play/sing as well as write the songs.

    i knew Bill wrote the lyrics too ! they are so him and wow .. they sound like him ! and the music is great too .. i thought Kerli was involved in the lyrics too .. anyway can’t wait for the album !

    • ashanea says:

      Tokio Hotel asked Kerli to sing on the song…they asked after it was written. I think the song is amazing but I thought it was released, a friend of mine played it for me, I feel pretty suckish about listening to it about a million times after the irst time. It kinda became an addiction..just like anything Tokio Hotel ;)

      but I will be buying the soundtrack..maybe even more than one copy since I didn’t “keep it in my pants” ;) :D

      oh and btw: the g’s did play the music, they just didn’t write it. No worries :D

      I will admit that I did as well…I feel bad sorta. But it’s not like we downloaded it off the internet and we’re not gonna buy it now or something. We’ll still buy it and support Tokio Hotel and Kerli. :)
      Sure, our anticipation got the better of us. But I mean, that doesn’t mean we’re BAD fans. So don’t feel bad. We’ll still buy the song, probably the album {or I plan to buy the album anyway :D} and support them. I’ll pray for you. <3<3
      But on the up side, BILL WROTE THE LYRICS! Or had a part in it, whatever. YAY! ^.^

    Oh my gosh GUYSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!! I work at a music store and we already have the almost Alice album(not on sale yet of course) and it’s freaking fantastic!!! Strange is a really great song it’s much better than what the snippet makes you think. I really like the whole album my favorites have to be the lobster quadrille(i know I’m a nerd like that) strange(of course) and angel. Trust me you are gonna LOVE IT! Totally worth the buy!
    Also let me reiterate the fact I am completely THRILLED that Tokio Hotel is on a popular AMERICAN movie soundtrack hopefully they’ll be able to bring the Humanoid City (the whole thing) to the U.S.! I hope I hope I HOPE!

        Hey we preview all albums not just the ones I happen to like, our boss lets us preview albums so that way we can tell people about them and get them excited, it actually promotes our sales. We get promo copies that have no bar codes so they can not be sold.

          And I also plan on buying Almost Alice as well because I love the boys.
          And I actually ended up with seven copies of Humanoid because I bought it over and over again for various bonus content.
