Fornika
Encyclopedia
Fornika is the 2007 album
by German hip hop
band Die Fantastischen Vier
. The name does not refer to the term of fornication. It comes from a strange misspelling of a Pizza-Delivery-Service-Person that delivered Pizza to the Band's Studio. Though they totally misspelled the name on the doorbell ("Fornika" instead of "Wernicke" and street "Emnhof" instead of "Immenhofer Strasse"), the pizza was still delivered. The name "Fornika" is an inside-band-term for "strange things".
Einfach sein was the 43rd best-selling single of 2007 in Germany.
