This is as close as I'm getting to doing a German song...from the first few seconds, you can tell why! :)

The best part is that I'm probably not even pronouncing "Schadenfreude" correctly, or it doesn't even exist and the jokes on me anyway!

Check out more on Avenue Q (definitely rated R) http://www.avenueq.com/...I hope to do more of their songs later!

  • haha avenue q is my favorite musical too

    i saw it on friday and its the most amazing show ive ever seen i cant go a day wothout listening to the songs and i find schadenfreude the catchiest song in the show and this is by far my favorite cover of the song ur voice is simply amazing and u have such a cute bubbly personality i love it

  • Aw, thanks so much! It is THE BEST musical - I'm so glad you're as obsessed as I am! LOL :)

  • I LOVE to hear Amaricans speaking German, such a cool accent xD

    Do you really use the word "Schadenfreude" when you talk to each other or is it just a word in this song?

    By the way nice performace :D

  • I had to practice it a million times in order to get it pronounced even CLOSE to what it's supposed to be! No we never say schadenfreude in our daily talk - I didn't even know what it was until the song! :)

  • I've seen this show 70 times in London, and this is honestly the most hilarious version of Schadenfreude I've ever seen! Great job! ;)

    xx

  • FOR REAL!? I am honored that you, being the hard-core Ave Q fan that you are, even LIKES my cover! :) Thanks so much! :)
