Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Silly 'Dutch' song Ja Ja Ja?
'Dutch' = 'Deutsch', hence Ja Ja Ja. Not sung much these days as it contains the 'n' word, as Guest above hints. The verse about going to the brothel was my favourite; 'We do all the bawdy hooses[x2] und ve hitchen up der trooses und ve catchen all der louses' mit mein ja, ja, ja.
Bowdlerising or not is a can of worms, isn't it ? Anyone else noticed the sanitized version of 'Rollin'the Woodpile down' performed by Bellowhead on the BBC awards show recently ?
