Lili Marleen

Post by General Mung Beans »

"Lili Marleen" was the soldiers song of World War II. What do you think of the song?
http://www.archive.org/search.php?quer ... pe%3Aaudio Various versions by Lale Andersen.

http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=Vera%20Lynn Vera Lynn's version

http://ingeb.org/garb/lmarleen.htmlVarious versions in multiple languages.

And two videos:

Vera Lynn
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.

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.
