Es gibt kein bier auf Hawaii

So, today I am viewing my wonderful Cute Overload email, where the following video was featured...




I nearly had a heart attack with laughing. For those of you who don't speak German, which I know is a lot of you, this is a song my grandfather and my mother both sang to me when I was little to make me laugh when I was sad...the rough translation of which goes something like this:

There is no beer in Hawaii
There is no beer
That's why I'll never go to Hawaii
That's why I'll stay here.

Hands up if the dog didn't really look like it wanted beer or Hawaii!!

That all just made me laugh. A completely innappropriate song for a dog in a completely innappropriate position.

And you so you don't think I've denied you all, a quick translation of the end of the song which is not used in the video:

It is so hot in Hawaii
There are no cool spots
And because of all the huula-ing
The thirst just won't go away.

So there you go, a little taste of the crazy German mentality, and a cute video to boot. :)
