Whenever I hear German, it's dominated by short clipped words, so that checks out.
Such a pity. It's like native east Londoners not using cockney rhyming slang in every sentence. It's the thing that makes them most interesting!
I'll certainly try to use "Hübschgesichtwallaby" more often.
It sounds like a great novelty record that would have made No.5 in the New Zealand charts.
That Wally swore was actually really good, not just a joke.
It really caught on during the lockdown period, when people were looking for a harmless distraction, but artistically good too.

The Boss is always more adventurous than me in picking up untried beer from the grocery store. She bought a few cans of this the other day. I'm not a lager person, but it's tolerable enough. Is this the Pabst of Merkelania?

Okay, I'm not the only one, then, who got a "the beer for putsches" vibe to the can.

I'd heard of the Monks but (a) I didn't know the band was made up of Americans and (b) I didn't they'd given themselves monk haircuts. Pure German whimsy!
There's a good documentary film about them, maybe made about 10 years ago.

One of the members is/was the mayor of a town in northern Minnesota.

ETA: It was Gary Burger, singer/guitarist, and according to Wikipedia, the town was Turtle River, and he died of pancreatic cancer on March 14, 2014, at the age of 71.

I guess this is how it's pronounced. The guy's quite a fan.
