Learn German with GermanPod101.com! You’re in your hotel room in Germany, trying to relax after a long day of sightseeing. You only have an hour to get ready before you are meeting some friends at the German club, so you decide to take a moment to meditate. As you start to count your breaths in and out in German, “One, two, three,” your cell phone starts to ring. Of course, your German friends want to coordinate what to wear and want to pick a place to meet beforehand. You hang up the phone and get back to your counting in German. You make it to four in German this time before the phone suddenly rings again, disturbing your peace. This time you answer the phone  a bit less patiently in German and say, “What now?!” Turns out that your mom is calling to check on you since you haven’t talked to her for the last week or so since you’ve been traveling in Germany. Oops!

In todays lesson we are going to focus on a song by Wolfgang Petry. The German singer is famous for the huge amout of friendship bracelets he used to wear on his arm. Wild hair and a mustache made him pretty easy to distinguish. But more than for his looks he is famous for catchy beats and lyrics one can easily memorize. Todays example is often played at German barbecues or mass festivities. Listen to an excerpt of today’s song at Amazon.com. Americans can also buy a legal mp3 of the full song right there; international visitors will have to go to 7digital instead.
