Thread Name: German phrase, translation, please?
Subject: RE: German phrase, translation, please?
This is absolute codswallop. It is obvious that this is a kind of pig-Latin version of German, and you need to swap some of the letters. Then you have:

Gunter loves the laughing [or possibly the leeks] of globes

This was written a time of terrible nuclear tension, when the world - the globe - was in constant peril. For Gunter - obviously a Prussian communist - to love the laughing of globes, the world - and other worlds - must be safe, saved by rock 'n' roll. It's just a matter of applying simple logic.

Rock historians will not that the same code phrase occurs in Pretty Fly for a White Guy.
