Today was a lot of fun. i got lots of calls and got to play from the new euro hit 40 program CD! (even though it skipped and i had to start it over). On the euro hit 40 CD was this hilarious fun German song called Papa Pinguin by pigolo. The dj on the show talks about dancing penguins, so i looked it up on youtube, and i found the video!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKG08z85DtY

i was all excited that i'd found this new german music and i showed the video to my 7 year old niece and she said "oh yeah, those are the penguins that sing YMCA in french". sure enough, there is another video, same artist, with a song to the tune of YMCA, but its "I love to ski", in French. so i guess i should be taking music suggestions from my niece from now on, LOL.
