The second one in particular breaks my brane. Possibly because the German lyrics are easier to make out. I think these must be before my time, though, I don't recognise them. ;-)

ETAActually, I think I've worked it out. If I don't look at the english subtitles, my brain goes into german mode. But if I do, it keeps popping in and out. Weird.

Yes, parsing the wrong subtitles is difficult for me, too. I don't think it's weird when you know both languages.
That reminds me, a few years ago, we watched the superb Mr Vampire (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089371/), first in Chinese with the English subtitles and then someone changed the audio to the English dub which was completely different to what was in the subtitles. That hurt after a while, too. Unfortunately, we didn't have anyone who spoke Chinese so we don't know what the character actually said. ;o)
Highly recommended, btw, if you like Hong Kong cinema. It has Hopping Vampires, sticky note magic and some proper Taoist mythology.

Dschinghis Khan came out in '79 and was the German entry to the Eurovision Song Contest.

Good times- and with the exception of the Meister, Gildo Horn, Germany hasn't managed to produce any entry as classy since...

Definitely not. Any idea what's on offer this year? I should have a look around the intertubes.

...and just to link to the song Dschinghis Khan, which was the entry to Eurovision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f4OptTvX4I0


And for a truly horrendous offering from the same band look at Loreley... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ABkOiJ97hvs

haha, sehr schön, dass im youtube-tag "kahn" steht, obwohl auf der abgebildeten 7"-hülle klar "khan" zu lesen ist - wenn man das denn kann!

Ich erinnere mich! Das war wirklich ziemlich cool.
