Mexico Vs. German Finger in Mexican Butt? Vivirlatino go to original
Those wacky Germans! The song, Finger im Po Mexiko (Finger in the Butt, Mexico) has pissed off the Mexican government because - well they may like booty but they don't want to be called it.
Germany's mass-circulation daily Bild reported Thursday that Ambassador Jorge Castro-Valle Kuehne has written a letter of complaint to EMI, the record company which publishes the song.
The newspaper quotes the ambassador as writing: "As I'm sure you can understand, the lyric has aroused great outrage among the members of the Mexican community living in Germany, who have a right to be angry that Mexico's name is being used in this kind of disrespectful and disgusting way."
The song is just stupid, that's what should be protested. The interpreter of the song, Mickie Krause, whose other hits include such gems as "Go Home, You Old Shit" and "10 Naked Hairdressers" doesn't get what the "stink" is all about.
According to Bild, Krause does not understand what the big stink is about. "It looks like the ambassador has too much time on his hands," Krause says, "if he can spend so much time worrying about a finger in the butt."
Krause told Bild that the song had to be taken with a sense of humor. "On stage, I also sing the lyric 'Finger in the Vagina, Bosnia-Herzegovina,'" he added. "And nobody has gotten worked up about that." |
