Schnappi Vs MIA - THE TRUTH

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

(inspired by steviespitfire who likes neitha!)

- exotic pop allowing critics to romanticise the Other
- "unschooled" vocals grate on some crits
- publicity makes dubious use of 'jungle' background
- authenticity of songwriting in some doubt
- controversial relationship with father (biting legs vs terrorism)
- enormous numbers of remixes
- huge ILM following
- let's face it S1m0n R3yn0ld5 probably doesn't go a bundle on Schnappi either.

to be CONTINUED by YOU.

Das Yokohamalama will Pilot werden, wenn es groß ist und denkt nur ans
Fliegen. Es lebt mit seiner Mutter "Yoko Einstein" in Yokohama.Yoko
Einstein ist eine berühmte Erfinderin. Als das Yokohamalama wieder einmal
zu Besuch bei Schnappi war, haben die beiden sich einen Flugluftballon mit
Propeller gebaut und sind so hoch geflogen,dass der Ballon Peng! platzte.
Das wäre beinahe der letzte Flug von Schnappi und seinem Freund, dem
Yokohamalama gewesen,aber zum Glück konnte Yoko Einstein die Zeit
zurückdrehen und der Ballon machte eine sanfte Rückwärtslandung.

See?

oh i see:

The Yokohamalama wants to become pilot, if it is large and thinks only of flies. It lives with its nut/mother "Yoko Einstein" in Yokohama.Yoko Einstein is a famous Erfinderin. When the Yokohamalama was again once to attendance with Schnappi, the two built and so highly flew themselves a flight ballon with propeller that the balloon Peng! burst. That would have been almost the last flight of Schnappi and its friend, the Yokohamalama, but fortunately Yoko Einstein could turn back the time and the balloon made a gentle Rueckwaertslandung.

I've found teasers of the whole album. It's the soundtrack to an impossible memory game (http://web2.prag089.server4you.de/domainconfig/schnappi.tv/schnappimemory.html) which makes you answer questions in German before the matched pairs will remain matched. Arrrgh!

I think this means "Yokohamalama wants to be a pilot when he is bigger and knows more about flying. He lives with his mum, "Yoko Einstein" in Yokohama. Yoko Einstein is a [something]. Once Yokohamalama heard Schnappi's song [singing?] he got a hot air balloon with a propeller and flew up high, to the Balloon Peng place. That was the last flight of Schnappi and his friend, then Yokohamalama [did something] but Yoko Einstein could turn back time for the balloon to make a return landing. Um. Summat like that anyway.

This sounds like one of the mad 1950s Superman stories from that comic I bought the other week.

I used to know what an Erfinder is. I think it might be Explorer.
