    Пример того, как трагедия превращается в комедию! Пока об исполнителе данной песни не было ничего известно - сохранялся флер загадочности. Это компенсировало то, что песенка самая обычная, даже банальная. А как авторов нашли - весь флер сразу исчез, маска загадочности спала... Авторами оказались обычные немецкие деды с пивными носами... Эх! Вот теперь хайп другой - мастера-умельцы делают подобные шутливые видео. Дожимают тему. Через пару месяцев про Самую загадочную песню все забудут.
