Despite the fact that you clearly mentioned music in your title, it took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize you weren't claiming that scorpions were indigenous to Germany

MODERATORS
Alphaville, known for "Big in Japan" and "Forever Young," also hail from Germany.
Kraftwerk obviously too.
Well, that's another one I didn't know!
Ghost. Totally thought ghost was American until I got more into them/him.
There's an uncomfortable insinuation about the meaning of "European" lurking in this question.
I had no idea Mark Knopfler was British until like 10 years ago.
Can't say about musicians, but I remember being surprised a lot when I was young. It's the actors that get me. First time I saw behinds the scenes footage of Black Hawk Down, "They're ALL British?!"
Sugarcubes
I prefer A-Ha
So do I.
My phone's autoincorrect, however....
Too bad there's no way to edit comments
But then none of this makes sense.
Oh, you scamp.
No, it would be even funnier
I mean their one song and one video that anyone knows are European as shit. I don't even know if I knew what Europe was yet and I knew they weren't from round these parts
I was surprised to find that Robert Palmer was British. I had him down as American.
