RoadRunnerCoyote2015 compiled this collection of intros from the German version, Die Muppet Show, for our enjoyment. (Thanks, Rusty!)

Highway to Hell Polka

Highway to Hell Polka

The last time we checked in with German oompah band The Heimatdamisch, they were playing G N’ R’s Sweet Child ‘O Mine. This time, they turned the AC/DC track Highway to Hell into a festive polka, but not before trying to convince us that it was a regular rock cover.

German band The Heimatdamisch is best known for their oompah-infused covers of rock songs. If you’re looking for a soundtrack to go with a stein of beer and some bratwurst, their ska-tinged version of Guns N’ Roses’ hit Sweet Child o’ Mine should do the trick.

David Hasselhoff in Moped Rider

David Hasselhoff in Moped Rider

We all know that Germans love David Hasselhoff, so it makes perfect sense that the Knight Rider and Baywatch star would appear in a commercial for a German automotive website. The words may be in German, but the humor is universal. Presumably, K.I.T.T. was replaced with a moped due to fuel efficiency concerns.

German Rhapsody

German Rhapsody

Back in 2010, musicians P.B. and M.D. took the time to translate and painstakingly line up the lyrics of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody into their native tongue of German. You don’t have to spreche ein bisschen Deutsch to enjoy their energetic performance.
