In the mid-1990s, on one of my seven journeys from the United States, where I live, to Austria to visit my many Austrian cousins, I discovered this song. My cousin played it from a CD while I was at his home for dinner. He had his son burn me a copy. I have absolutely loved this song for decades. While I have studied the German language, I never bothered to translate this song into English.
Move to today (June 2, 2026). I was watching a YouTube video about favorite German songs from recent decades. This song was mentioned, so I decided to search for the music video. (I haven't listened to it in quite a while.) I found the video, which I have never seen until today. It has English subtitles. (They use the word "pong" in the translation instead of "stench.")
I now know what that song is about, and, I'll tell you, I am rather shocked. The song is (basically) about a man with poor hygiene who tells a woman that if she doesn't accept him (with his bad hygiene), he will wave her goodbye because there is a prostitute by a lamp post on the street where he lives. He mentioned that even though he stinks, his character is good.
WOW !!! My mind is blown. That is certainly NOT what I expected, but now I know. Actually, I kind of like the song more now.
Here is the link to the music video for the 1995 song "Mief (Nimm mich jetzt, auch wenn ich stinke)" by the German comedy musical duo Die Doofen. The title means "Stench (Take Me Now, Even If I Stink)" by the group The Stupid Ones or The Stupids.

On this date, June 2, in 1967, The Beatles album "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" was released in the United States. For many decades, I thought it was released on June 1, 1967. I found out fairly recently that it was released on June 2, 1967.
Through research, I discovered that the June 1-June 2 discrepancy may possibly be due to a difference in time zones. I will leave it up to you to decide the actual date of release.
"Pepper" was scheduled to be released in the United Kingdom on June 1, 1967, but a leak caused an earlier release on May 26, 1967.

I remember well my dad's good friend Don's turquoise-and-white VW bus from the 1960s and 1970s. Our car now is a 2008 black VW Rabbit. I purchased it new in November 2008, and it still has low mileage.(Before that, I had a white VW Jetta.)

Yeah, rotisserie chicken is OK, but I prefer basic fried chicken, extra crispy.

I'm half Italian, as well as Austrian, Swiss, and Portuguese.

I like green olives stuffed with either garlic cloves, blue cheese, or the usual pimento pieces. I also like Kalamata (Greek) olives.
My favorite game show is What's My Line?. The panel show ran for 25 seasons, from 1950 to 1975. I prefer the late 1960s/1970s version.

I do like macaroons, especially with chocolate on their bottoms.

Please do this every day, especially in text messages and emails. Long ago, one of my teachers told his class: If you are going to protest, first know how to speak English. If you don't, no one will take you seriously.
