now everyone knows that I watch German television, but-

I was just watching a German news show, kinda like Dateline (minus fear mongering). And they were reporting how this one port city is trying to out-do Hamburg as a shipping town.
They showed the little party they had to celebrate their rising success at the harbor and I heard Alan Jackson's Chattahoochee song playing.
And sure enough in the background there were line dancers in cowboy hats.

Those crazy Germans.

It's on one of the many many foreign stations we get with digital cable. I started watching their show "Arts 21" after stumbling upon an episode in the wee hours taking care of the baby. (it's about the arts in germany, I like it)I had set it to record it but lately it's been recording the news show instead. I only watch *that* when there is absolutely nothing else on.
