FREUDE

[-] HubertManne@kbin.social 8 points 6 months ago

holy shit. thats the EU anthem. its sorta a terrifying song. maybe just because of clockwork orange for me.

In Sweden we wrote lyrics to help kids learn the months, so I see it more as a children's song 🙂 https://youtu.be/XLFNdORmBhE

This is the first time I realized it's also the eu anthem 🤣

alternate lyrics? I sung this as part of a chorus. its a german song unless I got them confused. froin de sher ner ger ter funk en talk ter ouse illusium. thats my lousy phonetic though not the german words.

Terrifying, if you're one of those who want to separate people by class or nation and stop them rejoicing in FREUDE!

to me it brings certain falling off the Nakatomi Plaza building vibe that Hans Gruber doesn't appreciate
