Gah. Annoying German pop. Worse even than Die Prinzen. And someone has pointed me in the direction of a particularly annoying example…
A small Egyptian crocodile seems to be very popular in Germany at the moment…
Ich bin Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil.
Komm aus Ägypten, das liegt direkt am Nil.
Zuerst lag ich in einem Ei,
dann schni-, schna-, schnappte ich mich freiSchni Schna Schnappi
Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp

Schnappi Schnappi Schnapp
Schnappi is a young crocodile from the Nile whose single has reached number one in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands and Norway.
Remember the Smurfs or Mr Blobby? Well, Schnappi beats the lot of them. Just listen to his song and tell me that it isn’t a ridiculously catchy song…!
The really weird thing – and I think this is typically German – is that there are loads of remixes of the song. Just two that I found (and there are plenty more): the “Gigi D Agostino Party Edit” and the “Rammstein Remix“…
There are in fact 9 official remixes… see here for the official Schnappi single!
So very sad, i know…but you may want to edit the rammstein link…the filename is “schnappi_rammstein..mp3″ (too many dots, or too little!)
Very catchy, and only in Germany!

Because the world really needed a singing Egyptian crocodile from Germany …
It never ceases to amaze me, the sheer quantity of pap music that comes out of Europe. By Europe I mean pretty much everywhere but the UK which is still hanging on (just about) to a proud musical heritage that brought the world The Beatles, The Ston…
Good lord man that is one of the worst songs ever to grace my ears!
But for some reason it’s stuck in my head… if you’ll excuse me I’m just going to check it for sublimminal messages cos there’s no way anybody willingly enjoys that
Annoying German Pop
Technically, this isn’t francophile – more germophile (hmm… I like that word). I just want to make sure that everyone gets to share in the phenomenon that is Schnappi – the small Egyptian crocodile that’s taking Germany (and Rob) by storm! Check out …
Sometimes I Love the Germans
I haven’t had the time recently to keep up with my blog reading and posting, but I need to tell you that I could kiss Dafyd on the lips for bringing Schnappi into my life.
It’s all about Schnappi… in English!

Schnappi goes English
Yay! I spotted this in the Grauniad today (although it might have been yesterday’s paper): Seasoned hit-makers McFly may occupy the UK’s number one, but they’ve a way to go to catch the most successful record across the rest of Europe…
