"Oh F*ck"

Over the weekend, Pete Doherty, former member of The Libertines, decided that in front of a German audience it would be the perfect time for a performance of the German National Anthem.

He grabbed his guitar, took the stage and began to sing his heart out. Unfortunately he decided to sing the song with the original first verse. The verse translated means “Germany, Germany above everything” a lyric that was written during the Nazi regime and after the war was basically removed from all modern performances of the song.

The audience began to boo very loudly, and Pete tried to get through the rest of his set, but after song number 5 he had to go, the damage was done, and he couldn’t recover. Pete is also Jewish and is a strong advocate of fascism and racism, and I am very surprised that NO ONE did their homework before doing the song.

How the hell, did no one check with a German person? He must have pissed someone off. He had to have. I bet he was doing some rock star bullshit, like asking for nothing but green M&M’s and polyester napkins, and when he asked the local Germans if the lyrics were correct… I’m sure he was lied to. Also call me crazy, If I were to attempt another countries National Anthem… I’m sure I would go beyond Google for the lyrics. I would do something crazy like ask a local to sing it, or ask the audience to sing it. I would never be so brazen to attempt it on my own.

Plus, if you were Jewish, would you really want to sing the German National Anthem in the first place? This seems a little sacrilegious in the first place. You know when he dies, that is the first thing that will be asked of him at the gates, “What the hell were you singing the Nazi National Anthem in front of Germans for? For crying out loud get out of here.”

Then they hit the down button on the elevator.
