Nero Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 I know suggesting a song is the Owlstalk equivalent of stocking wet fingers into a plug socket but instead of the current pathetic attempt how about... To the Dead Kennedy's punk classic California Uber Alles... Julian Borner - Uber Alles Julian Borner - Ub-er Alles Uber Alles - Julian Borner Uber Alles - Jul-ian Borner At least it scans and it's only 4 words to remember.

Deutschland Uber Alles is the original national anthem from the 19th century and was much loved by the Nazis but the tune is still the anthem. I'm not suggesting we sing the german national anthem with Julian Borners name over it ffs! California Uber Alles is a punk.song. Uber Alles means First or Is best. So it would mean 'Julian Borner is best' to the tune of a 70s punk.song. Everything historically German isnt Nazi. Even the swastika isn't a Nazi symbol.

Agreed I’m 35 and if I see a swastika I think nazi or facists I know it’s not where it originated from but because of the strong baring it had with them and it’s perceptive affiliation my thoughts go straight there i suppose just like when I think Bramall Lane I think of those scrubbers because they play there but it’s pretty common knowledge it was built as a cricket ground and both us and Sheffield FC I think used it before those scrubbers turned it into a sty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The punk song, by the Dead Kennedies, was a deliberate reference to the Nazis .it was claiming that the then California ( Pete something) governer was a fascist and used the old German anthem as s reference point.

Toon Owl Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Mon Dieu. Are we allowed to sing Rule Britannia then. Its reference to us ruling the waves might offend the French, Spanish, German, Argentinians (or pretty much every other sea-going nation really?
