    You would be surprised that a lot of songs that we sang as kids that we think are harmless, is actually a whole lot darker than we realize. It just doesn't hit us until we watch the music video and see whats really going on during the lyrics haha. I think our parents just let us sing it as kids because they know we have no idea what it's about and to us it's just a song lmao

LOL and then could we talk about the song relax by Frankie goes to Hollywood or what's another one, she bop by Cyndi lauper. Once I was an adult going what was I doing singing those songs as a kid.

    Yes, but you shouldn't take such a narrow view here. He's just the lovable and charming womaniser here, he's friends with the women, they like hanging out with him and the girls, like him, enjoy their time together.
    I think that's the charming side of Germany that shines through. And yes, Lou Bega is from Germany and I even saw his first performance of this song on TV back then. 🥰🫰
