Oh right! I totally forgot that somewhere I still have a message from you I always wanted to reply to and send you more Wise Guys videos. That is so cool that you know them! I have been to many concerts. Next time you come to Dresden, we'll have to match it with a concert! Wouldn't that be cool? They are always really wonderful experiences.

There are probably other lyrics pages, but best will be to look at their own homepage, they have all the song lyrics there. This is where you go, the song titles are sorted alphabetically: http://wiseguys.de/songtexte/

I'd love to know which songs you already know and enjoy! This is one video I always love to show to English speaking friends, it is exactly about how many English words are in the German language and is called "Denglish": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHZLbZpzms4

The second song in the video is to the music from Michael Jackson's "Thriller" but renamed to "Schiller", also pretty funny, especially since they do the original dancing choreography.

Ooh, thank you for the links! After watching "Denglish" I found one that should properly prepare me for train travel in Germany this summer. :-)

Haha yes! That's another very good song. And so spot on. Mind you, that is not an official video! So the parts in the beginning, with the train messages, are not on the original song. When this video came out, the song hadn't even been released on CD yet. So someone who actually works for the studio must have sneaked it out. But the Wise Guys loved the video so much, they actually uploaded it on their own page. Hope you are able to understand the lyrics with the translation!

And I should not forget to order that miniature uniform in time before you travel.
