It was with greatest surprise and shock to learn that some of you folks don't know who

Engelbert Humperdinck

is.

Say, where have you guys been in the last 10... 20... 60 years? Engelbert Humperdinck! The Love God! (Ehr... not really, but you get the picture). Or, to quote his website:

His name comes from the 1911, century Austrian composer who ( Read more... )

LOL! I, for my part, believe that Engelbert is actually David Hasselhoff's father. That would explain a lot - for example the need to do mushy duets. (Anyone there who remembers David Hasselhoff doing that duet with little Gwen?)

Engelbert! Who even kicked the Beatles out of the Top 10 with his "Release me"! The heartbreaker! The only one who ever brought my grandma to actually go into a shop and buy a record!

Or maybe David is a clone? Hey, nothing can surprise me anymore... as for possible Hasselhoff-duets - I skirted his music career whenever possible, and the last thing I noticeed was "I am cooking for Frieda" "On a highway to freedom".

Eh. Meine Mutter war ein riesen Peter-Alexander-Fan. Kannst Du Dir vorstellen, was ich in meiner Jugend gelitten habe?!?

Hahaha, jaja, das Peterle. Unser lieber PA ;)

But isn't it funny how Engelbert's moustache seems to have a life of its own? It looks so... dunno... perfectly trimmed. Guess it is an alien symbiont.

*has watched too much Stargate*

My mom thought he hung the moon and stars - well, him and Marty Robbins. I've heard every song of his at least 10 times....

The two of them singing "Lesbian Seagull" hmmmmm - now there's a picture...so MTV's "discovered" him, have they? Well, aren't they the inovators?

Celine Dion...heaven forbid...bleh

He looks kind of plastic. But then so does Hasselhoff. And yes, I have known who he is for a very long time.
