Very cool! I also didn't recognize "Secret Agent Man" until you said that's what the tune was.
Thank you Ferg!

As far as I know, I'm not German -- at least, not on my mom's side (long story, but I don't know much about my dad's side of the family, and for various reasons I'm not going to get into right now, he doesn't like to talk about his parents, who as far as I know, both died when he was a little kid), but I tried to teach myself German years ago...never got farther than the guide on how to pronounce things. The reason I pronounce Marc's name "O bər hoy zər" is...because it's spelled Oberhäuser (note the umlaut) -- if it were Oberhauser (no umlaut), I'd definitely pronounce it "O bər how zər," but according to the book I read, "äu" or "aeu" is pronounced "oy." And apparently an umlaut takes the place of an "e", so if I'm understanding correctly, you could spell it "Oberhaeuser" and it'd still be correct. But...I'm not 100% for sure.  |

Ah, the umlaut, I forgot about that. I was confused because I remembered a few years ago when it came out that Dr. Suess should be pronounced "Soyce."

And what really sets off my OCD is when people say Anheuser Bush.
