odd ditties

German pop music film on television.

The best thing in it is a blatant rip off of the old Beetles song Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds.

The Kraut hero sings without a hint of irony:

"Picture a colonel big in ze reich,

Looking for Sergeant Kruger.

He says to a feldwebel: Vere is zat tyke?

I vant to give him a Luger.

And ze Feldwebel says...

Kruger's in the tank with Steiner.

Kruger's in the tank with Steiner.

Kruger's in the tank with Steiner.

Ahhh, ahhhhhhh.

Ze German army vun thing it does fear,

Attacks zat come in ze night.

Needing night vision zey raise a big cheer

For ze feldwebel vith kaleidoscope eyes.

Vere is he by ze way???

Kruger's in the tank with Steiner.

Kruger's in the tank with Steiner.

Kruger's in the tank with Steiner.

Ahhh, ahhhhhhhh."
