She is singing in English but in the film footage Alma is actually singing in German. If you look for the video on UA-cam. You will see her singing the German version of “Never Do A Tango With An Eskimo” so in actual fact she is not lip synching.
I don't get y it's racist? Could someone explain it to me? I'm 70 & maybe people aren't called Eskimos anymore r they insinuating they can't dance? I just thought it meant it's too cold in Alaska to tango?? Sorry but I don't consider myself racist maybe I'm just dim witted
Too many ads!! But WHAT a record!! Love it ❤❤❤❤❤ I’ve read other reviews so please explain why this song is racist? Forgive my apparent ignorance-I just don’t hear it. I’m worried because I’ve spent my entire life working against racism, sexism and xenophobia as a woman who has hit the glass ceiling. Please explain.
You can't judge songs from the past by today's standards. Because in 50 or so years in the future they could quite easily say that certain songs acceptable in 2020 are too classed as racist because the content that was once appropriate at the time (ie 2020) is no longer acceptable by their standards.
@@martinmolloy6996 being critical of music is not a bad thing, that’s like saying minstrel shows can’t be judged by todays standards because they “weren’t” racist back then. Racism is racism, no matter how you slice it. And I personally don’t listen to songs from today that are racist, it’s not difficult to avoid them.
@Paul Gavin Eskimo is a racist term for indigenous people of Alaska. You do not have to be a liberal Democrat to have the courtesy and decency not be a racist!

@12345grov You don't know me from Adam to make this type of judgements. Just my username that is it, you don't know my sex, race, age or gender. So please kindly who ever you are keep your uninformed opinion of me to yourself.

I suppose if this song was written today it would be called "You must never do a tango with an Inuit" hhhmmm just doesn't sound as fun.
Too many ads!! But WHAT a record!! Love it ❤❤❤❤❤

The “E-word” is a racial slur towards natives of the Arctic.
it is not synchronized the sound with the picture...
See someone else's comment: the soundtrack is English, but on the video she's apparently singing in German!
Do you get many penguins in the arctic then? lol
Sounds nicey Boi
i would swear that's Doris Day......
Penguins, huh? That checks out.
Why not

My sister love it . But I dont like
They don't write them like that these days ........thank goodness !

Such naivety. Eskimos/Inuits would never do a tango with penguins. I'm not going to preach to you. Work this one out for yourself (clue hemispheres)
I'm not from Alaska but I'd dance with a penguin if one was willing! LoL
Married one.. Never had any problems 🤪 so far..
but did you do a tango with them?
@@haztac5973 No.. She is too short😁
@@Wollemand well, then ig you still should never tango with an eskimo 🤷
@@haztac5973 👍🏻
This song is politically incorrect for 2016. Merry Xmss all
Get over yourself
get a grip.

How is this racist? Because it says "Eskimo"?
one of those diabetes songs,
This song is so racist!!!
Really don't think they cared in the 50's.

This is disgusting! How was this ever okay?!
How is it not okay? I mean, besides silly....
Good times
Very racist music
Get a life sad sad person who can cause an argument in a phone box by themselves
How?
