Finally I found the time to point out a whole special tribute:
"
Ich höre den ganzen Tag Jeff Lynne" by the band "Chefdenker".
Ich höre den ganzen Tag Jeff Lynne · Chefdenker
vom Album Asozialdarwinismus
℗ 2023 Trillerfisch Records
Released on: 2023-01-13
However, the special charm of the song only reveals itself to those who know German. That's why I have transcribed the lyrics and translated them (with the help of deepl.com). I hope you have as much fun as I did. Because the selection of the song titles mentioned shows that there seems to be a real fan behind it.
Ich höre den ganzen Tag Jeff Lynne · Chefdenker
Alle gehen zur Arbeit - ich habe frei
- auf meiner Playlist "Mr. Blue Sky".
Wenn der Akku noch reicht will ich mal schauen
höre ich 20mal "Don't Bring Me Down".
Und danach "Confusion" und "Calling America" und auch "Secret Messages" und "Shangri-La".
Mit dem hässlichen UFO ins Tatoo-Studio, auf der Playlist ausschließlich E.L.O.
Eine Kirche im Ort, der Kantor spielt Jeff Lynne -
so soll es sein, wenn ich tot bin.
Das hässliche UFO, meisselt es ein
unten links in meinen Grabstein.
Ich will keine Blumen und ich will auch kein Gebet.
Ich will, dass "Ramalamalamalama Rock'n'Roll is King" auf meiner Urne steht.
Was soll denn noch kommen? Wenn man tot ist, isset vorbei.
Vielen Dank für alles, "Mr. Blue Sky"!

I listen all day to Jeff Lynne - Chief Thinker
Everybody goes to work - I'm off
- on my playlist "Mr. Blue Sky".
If the battery still holds out I want to have a look
I listen to "Don't Bring Me Down" 20 times.
And then "Confusion" and "Calling America" and also "Secret Messages" and "Shangri-La".
With the ugly UFO to the tattoo studio, on the playlist exclusively E.L.O..
A church in town, the cantor plays Jeff Lynne -
This is how it should be when I'm dead.
The ugly UFO, carve it
In the bottom left-hand corner of my tombstone.
I don't want flowers and I don't want a prayer.
I want "Ramalamalamalama Rock'n'Roll is King" written on my urn.
What else is there to come? When you're dead, it's over.
Thank you for everything, "Mr. Blue Sky"!
