deadly hilarious --
his mama's sense of humour &hearts

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yeah, only in German (which he really does speak, btw).

[sam80853.livejournal.com]

I was just saying that he belongs to Canada with that dorky attitude but he's singing a German song ... ::head desk::. Please, send him over here WHEN we are gone ::giggles::

DORK!

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I was just saying that he belongs to Canada with that dorky attitude but he's singing a German song

He spent three months in Munich last Winter/Spring. He came back fluent in German and actually had to ask me how to say a few phrases/words in English. It was very amusing. He hasn't ruled out Canada in the future, so who knows. Although we do need our dorks in America, too. :)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Oh, and his LJ is mr_t00by. Check it out for even more teenaged dorkiness. :)

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

Ahaaahahaha! Cuuuuuuute! Although the German translation of this song sounds extremely kinky ;)

Rock on!

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Isaac told me that it's different words, but never mentioned what they were. Hmmm.

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

*g* Seems like the Wise Guys translated the song pretty much word for word, which sounds very funny... "Schlag mich" is the correct translation for "hit me", but it sounds much more like "punch me" or "beat me".

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I like the word Schlag. It has oomph. Or something.

mr_t00by says "Heilige Scheiße" all the time even though he says he knows nobody really says it like that. He just thinks it's funny.

[mr-t00by.livejournal.com]

Well,the thing is that it's the direct translation basicallly, but quite literally. Like it says "Sag's mir, baby, weil ich brache zu wissen" which means "Tell me now, cuz I need to know" but like LITERALLY. In German you'd say "Ich muss wissen" which means "I must know". No other languages say "I need to" literally. That's why it's funny, cuz it's a comple literal translation that barely makes sense.

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

Well, actually you'd say "Sag's mir, denn ich muss es wissen/weil ich das wissen muss" ;) It reminds me of a game we used to play in English class, where did a similar thing, only the other way round. My favourites were "May I give you a wheelbeat?" and "My lovely Mr. Singing club" *g*

Do you know the Rio Reiser song I stand on you? The lyrics are hilarious, check them out.

[llassah.livejournal.com]

Wow! Can I keep him? *g*. That's incredibly special. Wow. Uh, I think my words have gone. Yup, no more words.

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

Nooo, you can't have him. It's already been decided that he's my future son-in-law. Eleven years isn't too big of an age difference, is it?

[llassah.livejournal.com]

Hee! Well, far be it from me to disturb an arranged marriage- are either of them aware of this yet? I shall worship his amazingness from afar *g*. It's like Romeo and Juliet, only without the love story, feud, marriage and deaths...And eleven schmeleven- Beau Starr is mine!

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Currently the bride is 6 and the groom 17. You have years to fight for him.

And eleven schmeleven- Beau Starr is mine!

Dude. Beau Starr belongs to the world. *g* I just looked up his bio and found out he was in two episodes of Providence, which means that OMG the incestuousness extends south of the 49th. Woah.

[mr-t00by.livejournal.com]

...Excuse me, but do I have a say in this?

[patchfire.livejournal.com]

Now that you mention it, no. You don't. That's sort of the nature of arranged marriages, though, you know.

[loony-moony.livejournal.com]

*DEAD*

It's the German that killed me, I think. xD

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

German's one of my favourite languages. I really need to learn it.

[missapocalyptic.livejournal.com]

I really need to learn it.

You sure?

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yes. Because I am a GEEK and get off on irregular conjugations and genderfucked nouns. English is the a linguistic eunuch, after all. We just say "it" and "the", and there's not even any plural pronouns to speak of, unless you count "Youze" when used with "Guys". How boring! Not to mention German has all those compound words, which I adore.

I also like the way the language sounds. Give me German and Russian Hebrew and Gaelic, thanks. All those vowelcentric Latin-based languages don't do a thing for me. Except Latin itself, that is, and also French, which isn't so much about ending everything in a vowel.

[on-a-hill.livejournal.com]

pretty much the best youtube I've seen all week. *lol*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Made my whole year, it did.

[alexisyael.livejournal.com]

Das war SEHR cool!!!! (I could tell he could actually speak Deutch, which gets him major points, in my book!)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Years of Waldorf Education finally pay off. I think.

[alexisyael.livejournal.com]

Ah, Woldorf!

I was a Montessori kid, myself. Good times, good times :D

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Waldorf and Montessori: polar opposites that often have similar results. :)

[alexisyael.livejournal.com]

yes, it's very weird, that. or maybe not so weird... both tend to have smaller classes and more connected teachers. and I think that matters a lot.

[isiscolo.livejournal.com]

His mother is clearly a giant dork too, for sharing it with her flist.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Well, that goes without saying, aye.

[newleaf31.livejournal.com]

HeeheeheeLURVE! The draw is not only in the fact that it's a humorous German/English hybrid song, but also in the deadpan-to-schlock delivery. Very cleverly dorktastic, that mr_t00by.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

He obviously takes after my side of the family. :)

[catwalksalone]

BWAH!

Funny, funny boy.

So very impressed with the straight face keeping. And the German (I allegedly 'learnt' the language once - enough to pass an exam very well. Alas I did not understand then that 'learn' means remember for more than 6 hours after the exam is over).

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Three months in Germany will teach you German pretty fast. He had German lessons from first grade, but you don't ever really speak it fluently until you're immersed in it, I would guess.

[ackonrad.livejournal.com]

*falls down laughing*

OMG he was singing Britney Spears in German! 'Schlag mich Baby noch einmal!', indeed. :-))))

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

He has no shame, which is a very good thing at times. Shame for Britney, that is, not German, because German is all kinds of awesome)

[junesrose.livejournal.com]

Heh, is he tryign to be the "new" Nema numa" kid??? Seriously, that was funny!

*applaudes*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

*googles*

He's cuter than that kid. :)

[junesrose.livejournal.com]

OH, yes! Yes, he is. I meant that the numa-numa kid was all over the internet last year, and even made the morning tv shows. I figured your son would become famous doing this stint, especially since YOUTUBE is EVERYWHERE!
:D

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

I'll have to figure out how to pimp the video everywhere. Although, I'd never heard of the numa-numa kid until you mentioned him. Hmm.

[mr-t00by.livejournal.com]

Hahaha that came up once, I was showing a few of these videos to my friends (I made more, including one of Rammstein's "Sonne") and he said to post them on Youtube and I'll prolly get famous for it, lol. Should I post more?

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yes, you should. Of course you should. :) Post the Nirvana one and dedicate it to patchfire.

[dragonflymuse.livejournal.com]

Heh :)

You must be so proud :)

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

But of course! He could be the Milli Vanilli of High Mowing School.

[erebor.livejournal.com]

Hee, hee, very creative, very fun. I watched it this morning and it put a smile on my face, so I came home and ran it again. Sometime after that it dawned on me this is your progeny ...

Well done. Well done, I say.

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Sometime after that it dawned on me this is your progeny ...

Scary, but true.

Maybe if I pimp it he'll be famous. As long as he doesn't get involved with Hollywood, I'm fine with it. He needs to be on stage, dammit! Although I'm apparently going through a phase where I think everyone should be in theatre (including me, but um, no).

[topaz7.livejournal.com]

LOLOL!!!11!!

Finally got a chance to sit down and watch this - hilarious!

He's a born performer, eh?

*wipes tears*

[primroseburrows.livejournal.com]

Yep. :)
