Gunter glieben glauchen globen?

Post by happysmilies007 »

ok i know y'all remember the Def Leppard song 'Rock of Ages', so could anybody tell me what this means:

Gunter glieben glauchen globen

i've heard it means "Our one-armed drummer beats his wife", but that can't be true, because pyromania was released in 1983, & Rick didn't lose his arm til '84, correct? idk. anybody know anything else about this?? :?

Lickit, pickit, flickit, stickit..................... :razz:

I heard it means either: I love rock and roll, or long live rock and roll.

But my German is limited......... I can say pig s**t, and dog s**t.

Yeah, I'm a goof............... heheheheheheheheheh :-D

"Globen" means "globes. The other 3 words are not in my German-English dictionary - and Babelfish doesn't seem to know them either.

However.... Maybe the alliteration is fake? Maybe someone stuck G's on the beginnings of some of the words.

Unter = under (note also that: unser = our)
Liebe = love (lieben = loves [to]?)
lauch = leek (lauschen = eavesdrop; laut = loud; lauten = to say)
loben = to praise


make of that what you will. :P

lol! that looks tough to comprehend!! thanks for the translation though..that's really interesting. i tried it on freetranslation.com, but all they translated was globen=globes & i think glieben=believes/ing..something like that! didn't make much sense to me, so maybe it's slang? i have a German friend, i wonder if maybe she could translate it? i'll see! :-D

i'm a wo-man on a mission :wink:

Danke means thank you in German. I've been to germany to visit a brother there and he picked it up well. As for those words I don't know. I think I have a german book but I'll have to check. :)
I love my Welshman.

Danke means please AND thank you in German.

Other phrases:

Du Hast miene housen

Du hast miene hahn

slagh miene hahn

zough miene hahn

Look 'em up. the first one is more or less gibberish. Oh, and add Hunden to the ends of all of them.

muahahaha...

I remember hearing that it was more or less German sounding gibberish, and not entirely German.

I was about to respond to this topic with the same exact thing I said before, then realized I already posted it.

I had heard him say it was a gibberish way of counting off one-to-four to start the song. Though now when I hear it I think of the Offspring.
