holy shit. thats the EU anthem. its sorta a terrifying song. maybe just because of clockwork orange for me.

In Sweden we wrote lyrics to help kids learn the months, so I see it more as a children's song 🙂 https://youtu.be/XLFNdORmBhE

This is the first time I realized it's also the eu anthem 🤣

alternate lyrics? I sung this as part of a chorus. its a german song unless I got them confused. froin de sher ner ger ter funk en talk ter ouse illusium. thats my lousy phonetic though not the german words.
