Oh no, Schnappi's little ditty is one of those tunes that is totally maddening because you can't get it out of your head.

Ann Althouse ने कहा…

Chez Althouse, we laugh every time the chorus comes up.

बेनामी ने कहा…

Wenn ich das Wort Krokodil höre, erreiche ich bereits für mein Luger.

sonicfrog ने कहा…

Althouse ist wie ein Kasten Schokoladen...

'Raus mit dir, Schnappi,Schnappi, Schnappi, Schnappi ... ACH!!!! Schnappi ist kein Krokodil. Schnappi ist ein Ohrworm!

Tim: It was just up on Metafilter yesterday, and I'd never seen it before. My standard here was that it made us laugh a lot.

Had to go hunt out a translation and also found that "schnappen" is slang-word, means actually to bite but without hurting.:

I am Schnappi, the little crocodile,
I live in Egypt, right next to the Nile,
first I lived in an egg,
but then shnapped my way free

chorus
Schni-schna-schnappi schnappi-schnappi-schnapp
.....

I am Schnappi the little crocodile
have sharp teeth and mighty many of them
I shnap what's there to shnap
I shnap and am good at it

chorus

I am Schnappi the little crocodile
I love to shnap, that's my favourite play
I sneak up to mum
and show her how well I shnap

chorus

I am Schnappi the little crocodile
I'm never tired of shnapping
I shnap daddy's leg
and then just fall asleep

chorus

Ann, you must be doing something right. It only took ten comments before a troll crawled out from under the network bridge!

Kev ने कहा…

Ha, that was great! I remember when the song came out a few years ago, but I'd never seen the video before.

बेनामी ने कहा…

Schnappi aß nicht die Fliege. Es muß eine amerikanische Fliege gewesen sein.

Dactyl ने कहा…

I don't think crocodiles eat flies...

[My German is a little rough, did Theo just say the samt thing?]
