ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 30 years old, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other topics I come across in my everyday life in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

I love that the Greeks named people, such as Germans, barbarians because everything sounded like they were saying "bar bar bar" and now we have an entire barbara song

[melisaasilem]

I payed this song for my German mom on .5 speed and she still couldn't keep up. She is 85 and trying to rap... she is the cutest!

[Aci_yt]

The person that translated it into english got a bunch of idiots saying they "ruined it" or its "rude to translate" and its such a shame cause the translation is insanely good and accurate

[johnpauljones]

This song also doubles as a roadside DUI test in Germany. If a driver can sing it, then he's good enough to drive home.

[MsLauroraBorealis]

I love that both Bodo and Marti get the recognition they deserve!

[patrickhanft]

The most notable fact about Marti Fischer missing is that he not only does great cover songs, but has a fantastic series "How does music actually work" where he (re)creates old and new songs in the distinctive style of specific artists. And very recently he created a banger track for protests against Nazis, which we might need more often now in the future.

My German boyfriend finds it amusing that an ancient German tongue twister is now a popular rap. It's fun.

[dochkodochev]

Listening to this song actually makes me appreciate the complexity of this language

[sarahs]

I love how something as random, silly, and wholesome as a German tongue twister about Barbara and her rhubard can unite humans around the world 😂

[Pendragon]

Quick remark:
this snooty, rich dude is actually Marti's take on the famous singer and Co-Founder of the "Berliner Palast Orchester" Max Raabe.
Raabe has a very distinct singing voice and his attire and behaviour on stage mimics that of a singer of the 1920s and 1930s.

If there’s one thing better than a viral German hip hop comedy song, it’s getting the _context_ for a viral German hip hop comedy song.

[kendrakent]

I'm so glad you explained this, because I was so confused why I suddenly started seeing German reels in my feed. This is awesome. Can't wait to see your dance!

[xarmaa]

I love that the person who made the English version of it didn't translate word for word! That's how true translation for songs and poems should be! The goal is to keep the rhythm/rhyme and general meaning/feeling but the exact phrasing can be flexible to make it all work! So glad she took that liberty to make it really work! Also I want to hear you do the rap and see you do the dance!!!

[smbarone]

The narrator of the story also needs an award! Wow! She did so well.

[jesseandersen]

Its funny how well the tongue twister still works in english. Just goes to show off the deep germanic roots in english. We may have borrowed romance words, but we're still a germanic language!

[cheefussmith]

This is truly amazing. I’m an irish guy living in the us, not a word of German. I started seeing shorts of those two kids dancing to this. Then i looked it up, found that 10 year old animation you showed. So here we are, I get the follow ups and now this amazingly well made context video. Thank you for this, had so much fun watching😂

[Yorgos]

Marti Fischer is a multiinstrumental genius. His parody of Flowers in Modern Talking style is a hammer.

The English tongue twister cake baker is Betty Botter who bought a bit of butter to make her batter better. I'm now imagining that her batter was for Rubarb cake hoping to outbake her neighbor Barbara.

[MsKelsieJH]

And then Barbara and Bärbel decided to open a new beatnik bar on the beach in Santa Barbara...with Bart and Beatrice!😂

[rudigerstocker]

Hi Feli, Du hast diesen Song mit so vielen Hintergrundinfos richtig gut erklärt. Klasse gemacht. Hab viel darüber gelernt und Spaß beim Anschauen gehabt.
