Thread Name: German phrase, translation, please?
Subject: German phrase, translation, please?
There's a current hit song (West Coast US) called "Pretty Fly For a White Guy" by a group called the Offspring, and the song begins with this four word phrase that I can't understand, but it sounds like German to me.
The band uses it to count in the song, but I don't hear any numbers in it. It sounds (this is rough) something like
Unda (unter?)gleeten (fleiten?)daten bogen (mogen?)
My daughter says it's nonsense, (it's her CD) but I'm pretty sure it's a language; I just don't recognize it.
Anyone care to stray this far off the folk path, help would be appreciated.
Blessings,
Barbara
