A classic parody song (and animation)

The year is 1943 and Walt Disney released an American animation parodying Nazis and Hitler, as a propaganda piece, Der Fuehrer's Face. While the animation is fairly obscure, owing to its archive shortly after release in 1943, the parody song which was written by Oliver Wallace, is probably best remembered via the recording by Spike Jones and His City Slickers.

I happen to know this song by way of freshman year in college and my dorm neighbor who sang this song to me, and to do it justice you have to stick your tongue out when you make that pbht sound.



Now, I'm not one to just bring history to you. Nay, I also have a reason: Replace any reference to Fuehrer with Donald, as in Donald Drumpf, Herr Gobbell with Frau Palin, as in Sarah Palin, and Herr Goring with Herr Priebus, as in Reince Priebus. Suddenly, this reality we currently live in makes a lot of sense.

When der Donald says, "We ist der master race"
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in der Donald's face
Not to love Der Donald is a great disgrace so
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in der Donald's face
When Frau Palin says, "We own der world und space"
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in Frau Palin's face
When Herr Priebus says they'll never bomb this place
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in Herr Priebus's face !

Are we not the supermen
Aryan pure supermen
Ja we ist der supermen
Super-duper supermen!

Is this Nazi land so good?
Would you leave it if you could?
Ja this Nutzi land is good!
We would leave it if we could!

We bring the world new order
Heil Donald's world to order
Everyone of foreign race will love der Donald's face
When we bring to der world dis order!

When der Donald says, "We ist der master race"
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in der Donald's face
Not to love the Donald is a great disgrace so
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in der Donald's face!

When der Donald says, "We ist der master race"
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in der Donald's face
Not to love the Donald is a great disgrace so
We HEIL! (phbt!) HEIL! (phbt!) Right in der Donald's face!
