This is me having a bit of fun. It's my first song in German (not much of it). Please pardon my juvenile sense of humor. You could say this is slightly autobiographical. Years back, I was sitting with a friend drinking a beer outdoors in Heidelberg when I was suddenly afflicted with intense intestinal distress. After some searching, I was able to find the WC, without any disastrous consequences---although it was close. This song will get you up and dancing, maybe even dancing the green apple quick-step.

The choir part at the bridge is me triple tracking all four parts of the harmony--no plugins are harmonizers were used. It isn't perfect, but it has a full sound.

Lyrics

Wo ist die Toilette?
Wo ist die Toilette?
Da. Da. Da. Da.
(Huh?)

Wo ist die Toilette?
Wo ist die Toilette?
Da. Da. Da. Da.
(Dein Vater?)

Achtung an alle
Achtung an alle
Gefahr

Mein Gott, mein Gott
Ich scheiße mir in die Hose
Ich scheiße mir in die Hose
Gott in Himmel

Wo ist die Toilette?
Wo ist die Toilette?
Da. Da. Da. Da.

Brief Translation:
Where is the toilet?
There. There. There. There.

Attention Everyone. Danger.

My God, My God.
I am sh*tting my pants.
God in heaven!

Really nice song, Scott! Love the bass line you picked. And the "Self Service" sign on the Soundcloud page is priceless!
