Only in Germany

Here's installment number 2 of "Only in Germany"

1. Deutschland National Song (it's a satire of Germany)

Okay, so the song is a little old, but I got it from a friend and I thought that the song is sort of strange if not comical. They lyrics go like this.

German, German, German...

Of course a German invented "Wetten, dass"*
Many thanks for the enjoyable hours
We're the friendliest customers in this world
We're modest - we have money
The very best in any sport
The taxes here set a world record
Visit Germany and stay here
It's this kind of visitor we wait for
Anyone who likes it can live here
We're the friendliest people in this world

German, German...

Just one little thing is out of whack
And that is, Schumacher** doesn't drive a Mercedes

Refrain:
All that is Germany - all that is us
You won't find that anywhere else - only here only here
All that is Germany - all that is us
We live and die here

German, German...

Many people are arrogant about Germany
And some think it's cool to be an a--hole
There are some who like to complain about Kanaken [foreigners]
And travel to Thailand every year to f---
We love our cars more than our women
Because we can trust German cars
God kissed the earth just once
Right on the spot where Germany is now
We're the best everywhere - naturally also in bed
And we're especially nice to dogs and cats

All that is Germany...

We're really good at busting someone in the chops
We can also be relied on for starting fires
We like order and cleanliness
We're always ready for a war
Friendly greetings to the world, understand
We can be proud of Germany... Pork!

Pork, Pork...

All that is Germany...

* "Wetten, dass" ("Wanna bet?") is a popular German TV quiz show.
** Michael Schumacher is a famous Formula 1 race driver and also the highest paid sports figure in the world.

2. Only in Germany, can you go get your haircut and receive a free* cocktail and listen to a live DJ spinning house.

I won't be going back though, because in the end I could have gotten a haircut and cocktail somewhere else for less money, and I'm not German and I don't want my hair styled like a German, which is something they weren't able to do. So far, I haven't found a better salon than the one in Radolfzell where I paid only 11€ for my wash and cut, and that was with a scalp massage. Sometimes, it's worth living in the provinces.

3. Germans go to the doctor more than every other nation. Apparently, the average German goes to at least 18 doctor appointments per year. I think, I would go maybe most 3/4 per year and that's with Irina's influence at Henry Ford.

However, I can see how that would happen, considering that with my broken collarbone alone, I have had 5 doctor visits, and I will have another next week. Then I'm also supposed to go to Sports Therapy, if I ever figure out how I'm supposed to get there and what to do about work.
