Thatababy by Paul Trap for March 23, 2021

I’m of partial German heritage, but I don’t know that much of the language. Can anyone elaborate the song?

In high school German classes I could read Goethe and Schiller and Heine and Theodor Storm, but I never learned colloquial German, so I needed to read a translation of this song. I was surprised by the reference to “Captain Kirk”.

Better than mine and l was stationed there for three years….

Ausgezeichnet!

Sehr gut!

There are about a million other German songs that I like, from Volkslieder to Schlager , but this one I can’t stand.

I’ll bet they were all red, too.
