"Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann (anyway, -place, -time) was a great hit back in the 80th went top ten for weeks and now...after it went top 10 twice from covers from other artists..NENA covers it herself and brings on KIM WILDE to have a hot 80s duo and believe it or not..europe has one 1 Hit Wonder less.. this track hit number 1 in Holland, Belgium and Austria and top 5 in Germany and Switzerland!! and the funny thing is...this version is just as good..if not better thank to the guitars and colab with Kim Wilde..there should be more of this kind of stuff!!!"
Awesome CD Single

"I just wish Nena would sing English in the Single "Anyplace" version - why not?
Otherwise, I love the songs. The new version is great. But nothing can beat the old 7 minute original "Anyplace"or "Irgendvie" versions. Happy listening!"

"This is the fourth( of five ) single to come out of the album 20 JAHRE NENA: NENA FEAT. NENA( Platinum Edition ). It involves a duet between Nena and Kim Wilde and is a combination of the new version of the German-language original( i.e. "Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann" ) and the new English-language counterpart( i.e. "Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime" ) sung by Nena and Kim, respectively. The radio version of this song features Nena singing part of the English-language counterpart, which does not happen in the album version. If you have not yet purchased the album 20 JAHRE NENA: NENA FEAT. NENA, then this single will also provide you with three tracks from that album:1. Anyplace, Anywhere, Anytime( New Album Version, Nena and Kim Wilde )
2. Irgendwie, irgendwo, irgendwann( New Album Version, Nena solo )
3. Nur geträumt( New Album Version, Nena solo )However, the radio version is more than enough reason for me to purchase this single, even after I have already purchased the album. I very highly recommend this single to all who can appreciate really good music."
As time goes by....

"When Nena first released that song in 1985 in Germany in german language, it became a big success. There were a few german DJ's who covered the song over the years, and they all had hits.But what did Nena made out of that song, in that unbelievable duet with Kim Wilde, is so great, it made me speechless, when I heard it for the first time.The two great ladies of the eighties made it together, they made it again, and the song rolled over Germany, like it was in 1985.I love that song, and you can feel, the original was performed by a girl, and the cover now, is performed by two great women."
One of the best pop/rock hit singles ever made

"I'm an american, and heard this song for the first time last Thursday in the front lobby of the Berlin youth hostel where my small traveling party was staying...around 1AM in the morning. The front desk clerk "Rina" (who was quietly singing along and smiling) identified the song/artist for me on a post-it, and the next afternoon I had a handful of copies (at $6 Euro/ea) to take back to America. Nice thing about current Top 10 hits -- they are easy to find! Apparently the track is only a hit in Germany and surroundings (but not the UK or Scandanavia).
The song and the recording are amazing, powerful and even slightly Phil Spector-esque (in its dramatic melody and large-sounding production), yet with a driving beat and some cool rock guitar parts. I love Kim Wilde's early 80's voice ("Kids In America"), know nothing about Nena except her one spotty album that drifted over here in the mid-80's junk bins ("99 Luftballoons"), but the sound of their voices back and forth (american to german), verse to verse and chorus to chorus, is magic.
Without doubt one of the greatest pop/rock hit singles I have ever heard in my life. And what a killer spacey love-you-across-infinity lyric (again, Spectoresque) on the english-language choruses!
"If we belong,
To each other we belong
Anyplace - anywhere - anytime""
