Btw: does Mercedes still run commercials with Dr. Z(etsche)? They were hillarious, sadly never shown in Germany.

Don't. Just don't. You need to know both languages for this.

It is humour for the advanced.

I think this song would be better received if only more of the Kaleuns here would turn on Deutsch sprache und text (German speech and text) in SH (at least those who know the game well enough to know what's going on while building understanding of the spoken words).Das Boot works well in this regard as well (much more conversational German mixed in with some familiar terms from the game/U-boats).

For the record - I enjoyed it given the season and for some of the clever rhyming.

Fröhliche Weihnachten and an early Happy New Year!

It has a rather nice tone to it. Kinda funny too. Should I use the original German pronounciation, or German English/English?

I've read the English words with a strong German accent of my inner voice, this way the poem gets a funnier flavor .
