The depth and range of these lyrics reminds me of the day when, as a foreign exchange assistant, I stepped into my local corner shop in Swansea (Wales) and was greeted with the cheerful question: "Have you heard the latest German hit yet?" "No - what's it called?" "Da da da!" I thought they were having me on, but a few nights later I heard it for myself on the radio. Quite a funny song, actually!
