Man! This is excellent German. He probably understands much more than he lets on, because this sentence is darn fluid. Way beyond just 'I took five lessons in high school...'. The strange thing is that it is southern sounding, which is not what he would have heard people say in and around Berlin, during his stay in 2003 there. He rolls the 'rrr' in the way that a Bavarian or Austrian would, if they were trying to speak high German, rather than their usual dialect. His 2003 stays in Munich, Mannheim and Linz, were supposedly each for only a couple of days, so I doubt that would have made such a difference. I would have assumed he picked up a Berliner accent, while there. But far from it. Maybe he took a few German classes while over there, and happened to have a teacher from the South of Germany. Who knows. But hearing this, I would be very cautious with German around Adam, if I wouldn't want him to understand me, lol. He probably can pick up much more of a conversation than we think. Just like in Spanish, which he also knows better than he lets on, I believe. Always humble, just like he is with other things. Quite amazing. I doubt his accent comes from a teacher, probably just comes from being a non native German speaker. I lived in Spain and was told I had a Sough American accent when speaking Spanish. Probably bc my Spanish was softer, not being a native. I don't speak Italian or Neapolitan with a Neapolitan accent, but my partner and my teacher is Neapolitan....Where an accent comes from when you learn a language....who knows.? Weird one that.

Oh I am sure that he speaks and understands German way better than he lets on. I think it was during the Ghost Town promo that he was interviewed in German and answered a question without waiting for the translation. And what he did yesterday sounded pretty good too. With the Hair production he toured around, that was not just Berlin. He even got to the Netherlands with it. But I'm pretty sure his Dutch is nonexistent.

Well some things in German are very close to English, like with Dutch, when your gorgeous son told me one morning, when we were watching a cartoon together, and I thought it was a mouse, he said: Die geen muis, die een kangoeroe (or something like that). I knew I had been corrected..

I think the CGH video is fun -- and harmless. But there is one thing I love about it. For some reason when I watch it, Adam's vocal seems even more prominent than in the audio only version. Is that because it is as light as a feather and requires very little thought? Perhaps. I am too tired to figure it out but damn I love this song/vocal. Yes, I also thought (happily) that Adam's voice seemed quite prominent in the mv.
