Geil! You do realise the trouble I’m getting into singing German earworms? I felt my pulse quicken when I saw “Wo ist zu Hause, Mama”, I couldn’t imagine such a treasure could exist. And as for his pronunciation, should you ever get to hear me mangle German…
Those who like that Daisy Clan track may be interested to hear that it can be found on Volume 3 of the In-Kraut, a compilation of (as marina, the record company, have it) hip-shaking grooves made in Germany 1966-1974. Hope you don’t mind the plug, Major Dude, I know I’ve been fairly evangeligal with that set of CDs in my offline life too.
Oh, and thanks again!

@halfhearteddude
oh just add insult to injury, why don’t you? LOL
I can assure you that I have never played any imaginary instruments.. only real ones. So badly in fact that my family probably would have preferred the former.
As for Cindy & Bert…gah!

C’mon, Teena, I bet you were playing the air guitar to Cindy & Bert. Just so that you could say that you’ve played the air guitar to Cindy & Bert.

Chris: Klasse, daß diese Lieder eine gute Lehrhelfe sind. Allerdings hoffe ich, daß die Schüler ihre Aussprache nicht von Johnny Cash oder Dusty Springfield lernen!

Danke schön für die Schlager! Ich bin Deutschlehrer, und meine Schüler finden diese Lieder immer interessant und wertvoll! Mehr, bitte, mehr!!!

OMG.
Is all I’ve got to say for the moment. This one I have to digest.. thought nothing could beat ABBA’s “Wartesaal der Liebe” and Gilbert Bécaud’s butchering his own Nathalie but schlimmer geht immer :D
