well done, MC - not beautiful, but well

[mctrmt]

I'll take "well done" any day.

[WaingroBlazejowski]

YES! hahaha, I did the same thing when i found you and your music.

[Erichapelfan]

Yeah! Beuys lebt!

[russbuss415]

my subscription box was hiding this video from me.  i beat it up good and plenty. well done mctrmt, you versatile awesome-maker, you!

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Russ. Sometimes when I try to make awesome I burn it or it comes out under-done.

[russbuss415]

mmmMedium Rare Awesome....

[4DJB25]

Sehr gut!

[mctrmt]

Thanks!

[benmealer]

Nice German, MA. I took German in HS and have never used it for anything useful. Spanish would have been soooooo much more helpful.

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Ben, It was French for me, although I've forgotten most of it.

[benmealer]

ein Bier für mich, bitte

[russbuss415]

same here Ben, 3 years of high school german and all i remember is kartoffelsalat and a few curse words.

[ukeshale]

really great. you somewhat suit german. is that a gorilla or a ninja in the background? 5* i love your voice

[mctrmt]

Kind of like a cross between a gorilla and a ninja- it's the bigfoot from the Patterson-Gimlin film.

[mctrmt]

Thanks, adelle!

[uke5417]

I had the pleasure of hosting one of THAT Joseph Beuys' assistants years ago and learning a a bit about his art. Challengeing but interesting stuff. And definitely not low-fat!

Nicely done.

[mctrmt]

Thanks! Yeah, if you're looking for low-fat you definitely have to look elsewhere.

[irgendniemand]

Auch nach dem ich das Original gesehen habe, habe ich nur wenige Worte verstehen können. Dennoch war es wie immer ein Vergnügen zuzuhören.

PS: Es wird langsam Zeit für einen Haarschnitt.

[mctrmt]

...I don't speak German at all...

Say again in English?

[irgendniemand]

I'll give it a try. :-)

Although I saw the original I only understood a few words in your version. Nevertheless, it was a pleasure listening to it - as always.

PS: It's time to get a haircut.

[mctrmt]

lol- thanks!

Yeah, it is time for a haircut, or maybe to wear a hat all the time!

[owlphanumeric]

oh my gosh, your german is adorable.

[mctrmt]

That sounds like a euphemism to me!!

[casetone2514]

Mary-Anne, dieses ist sehr interessant. Wirklich ist dieses sehr gut.

As you can tell, I don't speak German.

[mctrmt]

Neither do it. Except for "guten flug" because I was on a Lufthansa flight one time.

[krabbers]

Fantastischen

[mctrmt]

Thanks, krabbers.

[irvingjohn]

I think I heard the word Nicaragua...

[mctrmt]

Check!

[chriscarlonemusic]

[mctrmt]

Thanks, chris. Always a fun one to attempt.

[eerteep]

[unclejeff64]

mary anne can sho' nuff throw down!

[mctrmt]

Thanks rightly, jeff!

[BaronK69]

My german isn't that good but your voice is. So crispy and sweet. I'd love to hear you sing something in Swedish!

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Baron.

Swedish, eh? Do you have any suggestions?

[hoosierhiver]

love it!

[mctrmt]

Thanks!

[worschd21]

i'm not so much into this 80'-thing, but this song is really beautiful. You did it veeery well, i'm impressed, its so nice that you did a german song!

[mctrmt]

Thanks! I hoped I would not mess it up too badly; I'm sure I've listened to it hundreds of times over the years and must have picked some of the pronunciation up!

[DominicFoundTheMoon]

your voice sounds good in every language!

[mctrmt]

Aw, shucks. Thanks.

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Ausgezeichnet, Mary-Anne. 5 Sternen.

On my computer it looked for a moment as if bigfoot was about to ride off on your bike.

KEN

[mctrmt]

Bigfoot is pretty sneaky, Ken. I wouldn't put it past her.

Thanks for the stars!

[josephhoh]

Do you teach art? I was having a discussion about Joseph Beuys and "social practice" recently . Is it that time of the year when Beuys comes up? Beuys--ukulele...the Po-Mo mo-fo strikes again!

[mctrmt]

I do indeed; studio art. But I am in what you might call an art history cover band. I'll send you the link.

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

Amazing. See Thursday was the suck - and then there was this wating for me. Now - my Thursday is suck free.

I give this one 99 ballons.

[mctrmt]

Thanks, Grumpy! I'm glad I could take some of the suck out of the day for you.

[deach69]

doch dein Krieg um hirnverbrannte Ziele" gets me every time too,

Very nice mctmrt.

[mctrmt]

Merci beaucoup, daech,

[YoppyKyabetsu]

WOOT! I even understood a few words... the ones in english.

[mctrmt]

lol- me too. I have only a vague idea of what the song is about!

[UKISOCIETY]

Sehr gut!

Funny, at first I thought it was the OTHER Joe Beuys. Gross Got!

[mctrmt]

The Josephs always get mixed up, but this one is the one I like.
