Peter Fox - Haus am See. Click the pic to watch.
Refrain:
Und am Ende der Straße steht ein Haus am See
Orangenbaumblätter liegen auf dem Weg
Ich hab zwanzig Kinder, meine Frau ist schön
Mmm alle kommen vorbei, ich brauch nie raus zu gehn
… Das Haus am See
Yeah… yeah
(And at the end of the road is a house at the lake. Leaves of orangetrees lay on the path. I have 20 children, my wife is beautiful. Mmm, everybody’s coming over, so I never have to go outside. The house at the lake.)

“Die perfekte Welle” (the perfect wave) was the song that made the German band “Juli” (July) famous in 2004.
They’ve released two studio albums so far. “Es ist Juli” (It’s July) and “Ein neuer Tag” (A new day). Click on the pic to watch the video ;)
Das ist die perfekte Welle, (this is the perfect wave)
das ist der perfekte Tag, (this is the perfect day)
lass dich einfach von ihr tragen, (just have yourself carried by it)
denk am besten gar nicht nach. (it would be best if you didn’t think about it at all)
(An anonymous reader asked me to post about Juli. Thanks for this idea!)

The German artist I’m introducing you to today, is very special and weird at the same time. His name is Max Raabe and he is specialized in the sound of German music from the 1920s and 30s.
Max Raabe and his Palast Orchester may sound pretty odd to your ears. I think it’s fascinating and cool, but of course you need some time to get used to it :D Click on the picture to hear a song called “In der kleinen Konditorei” (At the little pastry shop) ,originally from 1928.
(brought to my attention by @johncabrera, danke!)

Liebe Kinder, groß und klein…. I’ve just found this video and thought it would be interesting for you as a “dialect listening comprehension” - because you’ll hear some Franconian dialect (not too strong but strong enough ;)), which is what people in my area speak.
The little story is about the Nürnberger Christkindlesmarkt. It’s about a security who has to keep an eye on the market when it’s closed at night and is getting more and more drunk.
