Gimme Hope Joachim: The Remix.

Posted: 21 Dec 2010 11:10 AM PST

Fairly sure this was completely missed during the World Cup, but if not, it’s certainly no crime to post again. Actually, it may be illegal in several countries not to post it again.

You’ll probably remember the a-capella Gimme Hope Joachim song from pre-World Cup, because it was the best thing without umlauts to arrive from Germany this year. Well, turns out they made a remix at some point during the World Cup to aptly reflect what had transpired. And it’s predictably the best thing since sliced bread mit Nutella.

Lyrics after the jump.

German:

Gimme Hope Joachim
gimme hope, joachim
hope for Südafrika.

Die Afrikaner haben Vuvuzelas,
die Engländer die haben Humor,
die Australier haben ne starke Abwehr,
aber wier haben das schönste Tor

Die Spanier Haben die tollsten schiris
der Ronaldo hat ne Traum Figur
David Backam der hat nen Fuß aus Stahl
doch Jogi Löw hat die schönste Frisur OOOhh

Gimme hope
Joachim Gimme hope
joachim hope
joachim for the Weltpokal
gimme hope joachim
gimme hope joachim
hope for Südafrika

Die Koreaner zeigen Emotionen
Die Mexikaner haben nen harten Schuss
Die Italiener haben nen guten mann im Tor aber wir haben den größten Bus
Die Franzosen halten fest zusamen und die Engländer haben Sex Tabu
Die Argentinier quälen sich im Jungelcamp nur der Jogi schmiert Nutellabrot

OOOhh gimme hope
joachim gimme hope
joachim gimme hope
joachim for the weltpokal
gimme hope joachim
gimme hope joachim

Die Serben sind die Überflieger und wie geschmiert läufts für die USA
die Holländer sind immer noch dabei Aber trotzdem holt uns Jogi den Pokal

Ohh gimme hope
joachim gimme hope
joachim hope for the Weltpokal
Gimme hope

joachim hope for Südafrika
Ohh
