Question: How bad-ass do you have to be to have a song like this named after you?

Answer: Ollie Kahn bad-ass. That’s how bad-ass.

And the best thing about this song comes from an Wikipedia. (It’s unsourced, so accept or reject based on whether or not you want to believe it):

Die Prinzen (The Princes, in English) are a German music group. The band is made up of former members of the Thomanerchor, a choir of the Thomaskirche (St. Thomas’ Church) in Leipzig, Germany, where Johann Sebastian Bach was music director for many years.

I couldn’t find an English translation of the lyrics, so I ran the German through the Babelfish translator. Babelfish ignored all the line breaks and instead gives it to us in paragraph form. Like a scary and relatively nonsensical bedtime story. But it still made me laugh.

(punt) (punt) it does not bring on the playing field much culture and by the hair-style (punt) it drinks Schampus from cups and cannot only for it well be paid (punt) it has through-trained calves and may with many men bathe (punt) it leaves nevertheless ran and this man is called actually Olli to punt (punt) this punt is not to stop it has at the feet burls it is a captain at deck it schmeisst itself for us in dirt This punt can sometimes fly remains only completely rare it lying this punt divides also times out and if it sees red flies it raus (punt) (punt) brothel attendance and drug trade are not nothing for Ollis life change (punt) it nourish themselves very healthy its belly are the ball are flat (punt) are approximately the lawn heated react it easily provoked (punt) it drive to streetcar and this man are called Olli punt (punt) rarely this punt are not to stop it have at the feet burls it are a captain at deck it schmeisst themselves for us in dirt This punt can sometimes fly remains only completely rare it lying and creates it a life boat on then is the Ollis punt (spoken)… other winner than us Olli punt of everything.keinen forward well I must there still times more exactly nachschaun whether everything to is the whole stadium against us will be which more beautiful give it not……..

(Any German speakers who want to give us the real translation? We’ll be forever in your debt.)
