Stephen Lynch Cologne 14.06.08 Dear Diary 1 P06

[chaomonga]

@JustTry2Think yeah, i think they got it after he repeated the name a couple of time...and to be honest, it's not the best of the "diary songs".

[tyu198]

Cologne, thats germany right ?

[randomrich17]

yes

[DaveO15]

Cologne.

[noremorse78]

Argendriel ofcourse they know who she was, everyone knows is where he was playing..

[tjd92295]

Officially the bravest guy ever.

[GlobaFightOnBullshit]

@tjd92295 ever saw yucko the clown?

[pinkfloydrule27]

stephen lynch and sascha baron cowen are the two bravest comedians in the world

[blahonyou123]

hahahahahahaha wow! thats brave. dead silence!

[Argendriel]

Mostly because noone understood the name, rather than not wanting to laugh about it XD

[blahonyou123]

haha seriously?

[2007everlast]

i would guess at least 70% of german pupils have anne frank in school combined with the geschwister scholl etc. furthermore i think they found it funny but to be p.c. didn't laught.

[blahonyou123]

ahhh. i thought they would. it's like a common known event in history. but i'm sure it is still a touchy subject. as we have our touchy subjects.

[2007everlast]

by the way, if you listen exactly some laught. besides i am german, i know the whole touchy subject and i laught my f***ing ass off, if you know what i mean ;) in this case it is just black humor, its internet, you don't have to listen it if you don't want to. under other surcomstances, e.g. in politics i wouldn't laugh. so thats my opinion ;)

[blahonyou123]

dude, i laughed my ass off too. i was just being sensitive to the fact that some may find it touchy. i love black humor...i'm american :) lol

[2007everlast]

by the way i recognized that germany has developed the last several years. our comedy gets blacker and blacker. even older generations get blacker. i guess they were black before but now it is no big deal to show it. and it is like in any other country. some allways want to be p.c. but in case of jokes about the late 30s and the beginning of the 40s i think it is right to laugh, cause if we are offended by that the nazis still win, cause the whole touchy subject is just in our heads. so laugh!

[fluffysucks08]

@blahonyou123 dem blacks are deh funny ones. OH YOU WERE IMPLYING BLACK HUMOR AS IN DEALING WITH SUBJECTS LIKE DEATH AND CRIMES AND OTHER METOPHRICALLY DARK THINGS LIKE THAT! Shit, now i look like a racist

[MaturinGirl]

truth said there.

lynch is fuckin funny and doesn't give a damn about anything. so why would or should he care about singin tlm or dd? good songs. brave man.

[Elodiron]

ich verstehe erlich gesagt dieses lied nich ganz ^^

ich verstehe den text und alles, aber naja..

vielleicht liegts daran weil ich nichts über anne frank weiß.. (aus irgendeinem grund hatten wir das nicht durchgenommen in der schule)

nunja, ich versteh den "witz" oder die provokation nich

[sophiasue]

I'm not German but even before he started the song I was thinking please Stephen don't sing it DON'T sing it..not 'here'..that was a cringe-worthy moment YIKES!!

[Pavlowsdog]

Hier müssen das auch viele lesen in der Schule lesen und so sehr man da hierzulande ja immer den geschichtlichen Hintergrund im Kopf hat - ich kann auch sagen, dass ich das Buch nicht gern gelesen hab ohne mich dabei schlecht zu fühlen. Und gegen die Art des Liedes hab ich gar nichts, ich finds genial gemacht.

[Elodiron]

ja das is mir auch aufgefallen (wa auch dabei)

irgwie hab ich mich gewundert wieso nicht 2 freunde von ihm dabei waren.. <.<

[Pavlowsdog]

Wirklich interessant wie wenig das Publikum dieses Lied mochte im Vergleich wie wir zu "Tiny Little Moustache" abgegangen sind ... hm?

[Argendriel]

Lag daran, dass die wenigsten den Namen verstanden haben. Anne Frank in amerikanischer Version hat bei vielen nicht als 'Anne Frank' registriert.

[Pavlowsdog]

Naja, okay, ist ein Argument. Das hab ich auch anderswo gelesen, dass viele den Namen nicht verstanden haben, aber ich dachte, dass man die "Diary" und "Anne Frank" Assoziation eigentlich noch relativ leicht herstellen kann. Hab ich mich wohl getäuscht.

Allerdings geb ich auch zu, dass ich auch mit so einigen Wörter Verständnisprobleme hatte, z.B. hab ich statt "you´re not hot enough" bei "Prettier" zuerst "you´re not hard enough" verstanden. ;)

[Argendriel]

*hüstel* Nicht nur du ...
