Possibly the finest thing to ever come out of Germany.

And if there is anybody left who hasn't cancelled their Fruitchat membership in protest at the last video, here is the "English" translation

My feelings exactly

I'm sure UP will like this sort of nonsense. They came 4th in the Eurovision Song Contest in 1979. My bird has a German friend, and she thought I was taking the piss when I told her how much I liked this song. Apparently the real German lyrics are absolute bollocks, and the English version makes about as much sense.

The UK gave them 8 points for that lol.

Must have been influenced by another German act (ps the real singer is the bands manager)

Or if want a heavier version search under "Turisas"

I believe the same person was behind both acts.

Nobody seemed to mind that they weren't performing the song themselves, as long as they were honest about it - unlike Milli Vanilli, Betty Boo etc...

That would be Frank Farian then. 150 million record sales on a fake. You can fool all of the people some of the time.
