Lieder - Fascinating Aida

[TheBluberryPi]

To anyone that has any form of musical training or someone with a natural affinity... this is incredibly hard!

Very clever and brilliant ladies. :)

[QueenBoadicea]

And people think Germans aren't funny. Clearly "The Underpants" wasn't just a fluke.

[Aliveandlaughing]

This is brilliant ! I'm squirming !!!!

[4BeastBoy]

How odd... 70,363 views. That's only -half- of how many times I have watched and re-watched this. Today :P

Absolutely hilarious. I love the song, I love the music, I love Dilly's piano work and all their silly movements. I squirm in my seat at how false and our of tune it is, and then I instantly press 'replay'. Genius.

*Faves*

[OofusTwillip]

@4BeastBoy - I have the sheet music, and it's priceless!  First of all, it says at the top, "Music (if you can call it that) by Dillie Keane". And the score itself is peppered with double-flatted notes.

[dorisig]

Totally excellent

[Qwinkly3]

I can't believe they can sing that out of tune. That's so HARD to do !

[BlueMaking]

@Qwinkly3 I can sing out of tune without trying.

[92RedRevolver]

Dilly's piano work there was amazing. Honestly. The entire thing was just wow. Hahaha.

[russell56443]

Freakin Awesome!!!!!

Very Sexy ;0)

[msrseps2]

Dilly and Adele are genuius lyric writers - starirical. moving and screamingky funny. And Liza hasa fab voice. Come on girls, keep on "showing a bit o' leg" and givin' us some "smut". PXXXXX

[OofusTwillip]

@msrseps2 - That's not Liza in the video; it's Marilyn Cutts.

[xSophDx]

LMFAO........ moving ur own props.....the cheek.........cum on dillie belt it out lol xx

[woofer32]

classic entertainment, I'm not one for shows as a rule but I would want to see these.

[hp5man]

@woofer32

They'll be touring the UK in the autumn. The tour dates will be released soon on their website but some venues have tickets on sale already.

[danishcheese7530]

just chain smoke from the tender age of two.

that's how it's done XDDDDDDD

you gotta love the choreography. XD

[hellonearth5]

Sehr gut! and im not even german lolol.., you gotta love this!

[xTwirlyx]

Her voice is unnaturally low...I'm a female tenor and I struggle to hit the notes Adele is hitting... =O

[twistedpianoguy]

@xTwirlyx Adele was in fact born a man, and sings bass.

[my1flaming2love]

was it the F.A or Joan crowe That sang this first?

[hp5man]

@my1flaming2love

It's an original FA song which dates back to 1984

[ColdChicago]

das ist der kurt weill/brecht parody... aber zehr gut gemacht... und witzig.. oder?

[IceSingerLucy]

BRILLIANT!! so much love for this! :)

[DerekWilliamsMusic]

Das ist sehr gut!

[djmusicjac]

this did make me laugh, so i will add this to music spoofs

[EvenflowBlack]

Am I the only one having this problem - the video freezes completely at about 0:04, and stays like that while the sound plays.

[rmrusso4]

chgerman.

[PatriziaBluette]

troppo forti!

[woofer32]

If the xfactor was full of stuff like this I would watch it, this is absolutely brilliant.

[michaelash100]

@woofer32 the xfactor IS full of people singing out of tune!!

[woofer32]

@michaelash100  good point - I wasn't thinking!

[xxCandringsxx]

I love the way that she puts on the accent :)

[Smoothways]

so gemein - das haben wir nicht verdient, oder vielleicht doch...what about the winner of this years European song contest...not good?? Ok, ok, I admit - we are pretty bad when it comes to rhytmic feel and touch unless it is within a march - then we are quite exceptional. And German musical perfomances remind us most of all of an artistic excercise...but apart from that?? What about Bach, Schubert, Beethoven, Brahms, Haydn...? I am not falling for the MOZART trap - Austrian...gell

[EvenflowBlack]

@Smoothways Don't worry too much about it - the song is most likely based on the trend set by Marlene Dietrich in Germanic singers of cabaret. Here in the UK, we still recognise the greatness of the old masters, and some of the new ones too, like Nena and Rammstein, heheheh.

Anyway, my favourite composer EVER is Handel.

[Woelfin001]

@Smoothways Mozart Austrian? Parents both from Augsburg.(Bavaria)... he was born in Salzburg at time when it belonged to Bavaria anyway... so lets share, him, shall we?

[Littleoldmeluvsu]

lol

[thedarkmusician]

BAHAHAHAHAHA *learns*

[sharonmcn]

Dillie has always been brilliant ! I do two of her songs. First saw the group in San Francisco, a long time ago.

[magic1lover]

lol... their so mean!! i can't stop laughing!!

[ValRice1]

Have seen your live show several times. Always absolute magic!

[bundleHastings]

What an amazing idea she had to write this song!

She's a genius lyricist and deserves to be much more famous than she is. Easily as good as Tom Lehrer, who she admires.

[hp5man]

@bundleHastings

Don't forget about Adele Anderson who writes more of the lyrics than most people realise.

[kinghamhouse]

Simply magic!

[LMBehr03]

Oooo, does this mean I can have a part-time career since I'm part German?

[butterflyhugsopera]

This is hilarious - I love the fosse movements too for that extra touch.

Fascinating Aida are SO VERY CLEVER I LOVE THEM !

[Kerri75]

Very funny song : )

[Holleybe]

I LOVE this song, Dillie!  Great writing and peformance!
