Stole this from the CFRB Radio website in Toronto:

4-Year-Old's 'Snappy' Hit Is No. 1 In Germany

The hottest thing in German music right now is a 4-year-old girl's made-up song about a crocodile.

Joy Gruttman's song, "Snappy the Little Crocodile" ("Schnappi, das kleine Krokodil"), is the No. 1 song on the German charts. Her family posted the song on a Web site as a joke, but a radio station in Cologne, Germany, got hold of it and made it a hit.

Gruttman is the youngest recording artist to make it to the German Top 10, let alone No. 1.

"Snappy" beat out songs by Kylie Minogue and Linkin Park. The song is even appearing as remixes in German dance clubs.

Those crazy Germans. But that song is damn catchy.

Ahaha, yes, I remember hearing that song on the radio awhile back. =D

That being said, uh, hello~ =) Just thought I'd let you know that I got here via your ff.net profile, which I looked at after reading 'Go Fish' which I found thanks to issen4's rec. =D Really enjoyed it, so I think I'm going to stalk your LJ (hope you don't mind *_*). <3 A Hikago and Slam Dunk author is just too good to pass up~ That, and your entries so far have really amused me. =)

Don't tell me I'm the only one who doesn't know about the krokodil song. >_<

Glad to hear you liked Go Fish! And please feel free to stalk like mad--isn't that what the internet is all about? I will stalk you in return since your artwork is so damn pretty. :)
