Thread Name: German songs for singaround
Subject: German songs for singaround
Hello folks,
I play at a session/singaround in a part of Dublin frequented by tourists, and if any drop in and join the the session we ask them to sing a song from their own country (or if they're stuck, any country!). In case they're a bit shy or hesitant I've collected a few songs in several languages to get them started. I'm now looking for a couple of songs in German that German-speaking tourists might recognise. I've got pretty good German so learning the songs should not be a problem. Any ideas for suitable songs? Doesn't have to be folk. The age range is from college student to middle age.
While I'm on the subject, I'd appreciate tips for French and Yiddish as well.
Thanks in advance, Don Conlan
