Wolfgang,

I would have much more trouble understanding German songs since the only German I know comes from Yiddish. Geshundheit!

I found the repertoire of the boy scouts very amusing and I doubt many English speakers on listening to those songs would have a clue to what they were referring to.

I was once lucky enough to be friends with a German girl who was living in London, who belonged to a very exclusive folk club in Germany. She gave me a wee book that the group had produced with some lovely folk tunes, lyrics and music from England, Scotland, Ireland and America. The artistry in the book was brilliant. From my experience, German people are much more interested in British Folk music than English people.

Cheers for the site, it was fun to go through.

Did you ever see an arm chair, a book mark, a hat stand, a paper clip...Now you tell us one. - I LIKE this game!

Laoise.
