Lili Marleen
El Moose Monstero: That would be the winning song at Eurovision. I still say the Moldovans were more fun. And that one about the Apricot Tree.
That said...it is growing on me.
Thanas: It is one of those songs that kinda get stuck in your head so if you hear it several times, you actually grow to like it.
General Zod: It's the musical version of Stockholm syndrome.

Re: Lili Marleen
you forgot the bisexual goddess who owned that song.
The scariest folk song lyrics are "My Boy Grew up to be just like me" from cats in the cradle by Harry Chapin

I've found Lale Andersen and Vera Lynn's voice for suited for the song but that's just my preference.The Yosemite Bear wrote:
