Right! Humorous German music, who doesn't like those sorts of tunes? And it's being sung with a pretty professional choir... from Europe!
The music is by Fritz Löhner-Beda and Albert Hosp.
Here is a fairly hasty and bad translation of text:
Come hear the story of Mrs Potifar
who was immensely experienced...
listen, listen: That was
The wife, Mrs Potifar,
who was immensely experienced
in everything concerning love.
But her spouse, au contraire,
was already old and was no longer able.
Tirili, tirila, to guard the little woman.
So she whistled at modesty
and squeezed herself into her dress
and drove down to Thebes,
to show herself.
Because Thebes is for Memphis
what Lausanne is for Geneva.
In the bar of the crocodile
By the Nile, by the Nile, by the Nile,
Joseph and the Pharao
went entirely incognito.
There, they dance the rumba and the three-four time
three-quarters naked.
The whole of Egypt goes there
at night with their concubines,
In the bar of the crocodile
by the Nile, by the Nile, by the Nile
Mrs Potifar's spouse
soon had a clue,
so he went down to Ramses,
'I know what my wife does,
she goes to Thebes every night.
Yes, majesty, that's what she does.'
The Pharao here said, 'Let us also go,
The Osiris restaurant here is dump, as you can see.
That's why we, as philosophers,
will also go for a bop at Thebes,
in the bar of the crocodile,
by the Nile, by the Nile, by the Nile.
So they sat down with pleasure
At the pyramidbus
And rode off to Thebes.
There were girls, funny ones,
partly slender and partly plump.
The spouse of Mrs Potifar
Looked at the girls
And spat on the floor.
Ramses asks: Why?
Whereupon the answer sounded:
"I'm thinking of my squaw!"
In the bar of the crocodile
By the Nile, by the Nile, by the Nile,
Joseph and the Pharao
went entirely incognito.
There, they dance rumba and the three-four time
three-quarters naked.
All of Egypt meets there at
night with their concubines,
in the bar of the crocodile
by the Nile, by the Nile, by the Nile.
A slender black-masked girl,
fascinated both of them.
They bought daffodils for her.
Mrs Potifar's husband,
who was faster than Ramses,
tirili, tirila,
wanted to kiss her.
When he came back to Ramses,
He lowered his eyes sadly
And looked disturbed at the floor.
Ramses asked: "Why?"
Whereupon the answer sounded:
"That broad was my wife!"
In the bar of the crocodile
By the Nile, by the Nile, by the Nile,
Joseph and the Pharao
went entirely incognito.
Ramses sat with
Mrs Potifar's husband in the bar
and ate a fig leaf
mummy with minced spinach,
in the bar of the crocodile
by the Nile, by the Nile, by the Nile.
verathevix is in the soprano section
clairethecat is in the alto section
robertrenard is in the tenors
janthejaguar and I are with the basses
I hope you enjoy!
A note on our performance of this: we have opted to make it sound more choral than humorous because we will be singing it to people who don't understand German. Here's a very funny version which you should also look at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WnhuKs459J4
(Also, please excuse the telegraph like... procession that this 'artist's comment' has taken [STOP])

dunno I'm so shy to tell the things I feel when I'm so happy or something I really like but I just dunno what to say, really a miracle you guys are angels omg. I would say that there is nothing to improve but I'm sure we can keep going into more and more, so... improve the most you can do so it's even better. Keep practicing and never stop!
Yeah, dem darn peoples who cants speaks dat dere dern Englsih!
Yeah, we tried to perform it in a way that it would be 'semi-universally' enjoyable even if you had no idea what we were prattling on about.
Well, the lyrics are what we sing! So thank you! I'm glad you found it fun~ =D

Ahh! 0x0A{3}! (I would say 0x0A0A0A except computers don't operate in 3-byte chunks and 0x00 is the NUL-terminated-string marker... which would do nasty things to the comment system! Hopefully the database implementation is good enough to avoid a mishap like that!)
EOT = ASCII 0x04 End Of Transmission

Thank ya! Yes, this song is pretty fun, I could see it being sung in an old Disney film with some slightly altered lyrics!
And yeah, that singer is great! An absolute joy to hear (and see) him sing, we're actually going to do this in costume with a bit of acting, hopefully the people watching us will enjoy it (pity that here one can only put sound up! =P)

Yeah, I know! I guess we can only take so much pressure! =P In case we make a mistake in a live performance then we won't have recorded evidence for it!
Plays are grand! There's nothing like a good performance of Shakespeare (especially the ones that have royalty in them... where the kings go 'we' and 'our' instead of 'I' and 'my'...) or even better, Ibsen!

Well, we're better than normal furs! We're what we like to call 'Haries'.
Thanks a tonne! We're happy you enjoyed it!!! =D (Oh, and if I remember right, you like twentieth century music, right? Then you might find this interesting: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4786753/ )
