    Kind of a cultural frontal accident to have a Southern alpine background for a song about a blooming heath plant from the Northern German plains. Stereotypes beat reality. The subs are good, though.

    my one uncle who served in the European theater used to sleepwalk and every once in a while he would somehow turn on the record player with this song. he got the record in a small town outside of Munich. back then all you had to do is write your name and address on the item and poof, it would get mailed to that address. of course my aunt would have to sign for it. With my dad being one of 8 males a lot of stuff was sent back. We still find stuff in random places. they hid all that stuff all over the four houses.

    "I do not believe in nor endorse fascism, Nazism, or national socialism." I will never understand why a remark like this is necessary. It's a love song and has NOTHING to do with what you are talking about. So why mention it? Just because it is form that era? So any video about the VW Beetle needs that disclaimer as well? Nonsense.
