You do the hokey pokey and turn yourself around. That's what it's all about. Ja.

It's in German but it's the same song. :-6

The guys doing that were more than capable of extending the parody indefinitely - they came on, during the Part Troll tour, for a one-hour encore and didn't run short of material.

He's adept at several styles, not just that. This is a good example...

I shouldn't, but here's his definitive all-purpose love song as well:
