It's about a fuckin' CROCODILE no less!
The hottest thing in German music right now is a 4-year-old girl's made-up song about a crocodile.
Joy Gruttman's song, "Snappy the Little Crocodile" ("Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil"), is the No. 1 song on the German charts. Her family posted the song on a Web site as a joke, but a radio station in Cologne, Germany, got hold of it and made it a hit.
Gruttman is the youngest recording artist to make it to the German Top 10, let alone No. 1.
"Snappy" beat out songs by Kylie Minogue and Linkin Park. The song is even appearing as remixes in German dance clubs.

Just spent Christmas in Germany (I'm Irish) and was completely dumbstruck by this musical maesterpiece. It amazes me what some people will buy. But the kids there are going MAD for this Shnappy Shnippy Shnuppy malarkey! That said, it's not so long since Mr. Blobby took the number one spot in the UK. Any has anyone ever heard of Richie Kavanagh's Irish number one song, 'Aon Focal Eile?' I hope not...
The world's gone to pot. Bush re-elcted, Madrid gets blown to smithereens, the Beslan school massacre, Sudan goes nuts, and 2004 rounds itself off with Schnappi.
Happy 2005, Folks!
Adrian in Ireland. (",)

Iam german and i like schnapps

I have an 18 month old daughter and this is her favourite song ! Just goes to show that kids can certainly communicate with each other regardless of age and language (we only speak english).
Just to add that it is now 2007 and the song is still popular !
