Barbarossa: Ein Deutsches Gedicht / Lied nach Elvis Art. For a BYU German class, a friend and I — returned from our German-speaking missions for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — had to memorize a long poem auf Deutsch. It was tough, until we put it to music. (Of course, we had to use #Elvis music!) Years later, I remembered the song / poem and captured it. Here’s Barbarossa von Friedrich Rückert.

Danke Ihnen viel mals!
