Wie schön du bist

"Wie schön du bist" (German: How Beautiful You Are) is a song by German recording artist Sarah Connor. It was written and produced by Connor along with Peter Plate, Ulf Leo Sommer, and Daniel Faust for her ninth studio album Muttersprache (2015). An ode to her son Tyler, the uplifting pop ballad was conceived after a dispute with him. Her first single in German, the song was released as the album's lead single on May 1, 2015 in German-speaking Europe; it has since reached number two on the German Singles Chart.

Parody

In September 2015, German comedian Carolin Kebekus performed a parody of this song in her show PussyTerror TV, mocking dim-witted German nationalists under the title "Wie blöd du bist" (German: How Daft You Are).[7]

gollark: Also moderately pointless repetitive tasks.
gollark: They also have a strong obedience to authority thing going on.
gollark: I don't think that's accurate.
gollark: It's entirely possible to do well at other people's expense, though.
gollark: What?
