Despite how stunned Jimmy Carr looked . . . he came back with one of the quickest, cleverest responses ever!
I really appreciate the German media not making a story out of this. This was absolutely nowhere in the media. They all recognized it clearly being a mistake.
Emma and Jimmy are the perfect crowd on the couch for this story π
Graham Norton, the BEST host everβ€π
well, that verse is from the older version of the national anthem used during the time when Germany was an empire. it's not forbidden per se, but frowned upon, as it was abused by Nazi regime during their reign. the current anthem is the third part of the Deutschlandlied minus the part Robbie sang.
I am actually happy that he shared that story. So finally his fans in Germany know that he is not a Nazi lover, just blacked out while singing.. Greetings from Germany πππ
He let his intrusive thoughts win! πππππ
Robbie is such a good storyteller, I could listen to his tales all day.
Robbie plus Jimmy is a great comedy team, clearly.
I've heard this a dozen times and more and I still think it's one of the best stories on a talk a show ever, this and Greg Davies' school toilet story.
Robbie has just pulled off an incredible performance at the New Years Eve concert on Sydney Harbour here in Australia. Absolutely fantastic.
In the words of Basil Fawlty "don't mention the war!"
That hand gesture from robbie takes me back
Emma looks so good!
And then immediately after the show Robbie invaded Poland
I'm German, like Robbie's music, never heard of that incident. But also I didn't know people in Britain knew about the first verse of that song, which was banned from the national anthem for being too 'patriotic'. Verse 2 is about german women and german wine. It is also not part of the Anthem. Jimmy Carr's comment is funny ... I think. ;)
Sitting in the room with some German family right now.π They still love you Robbie.
If anyone wants to know what ADHD is like... show them this video... from the memory, to the background thought narration, to the impulsive behaviours of singing a totally inapprorpiate song... the whole video is a video of ADHD π
Robbie has the funniest life stories.
