Songs of the Season 2023 – Merry Christmas allerseits – Udo Jürgens

There are songs that manage to be bilingual pretty well, think Jose Feliciano and “Feliz Navidad“, “Angels We Have Heard on High“, or even “In Dulci Jublio“. This, however, is not one of them. Not by a long shot.  Not only does he try to put English in the German word order, with the auxiliary verbs at the end, he fails to use proper English pronouns, using the German language genders instead, and randomly word-swaps. It’s so bad, it nearly had me falling out of my seat laughing. 

h/t Jordan Prince for the heads up. As he commented, it gets better every time!
