...He then gave a beautiful rendition of Scarborough Fair with a bouzouki before launching into a heavy interpretation through the ears of German rockers Rammstein. It was surprising how well the German lyrics were picked up (rubbish translation below if you want to give it a go), which led into Hokey Cokey, with Bailey clearly showing too much interest in Rammstein.
All the more impressive was that as the rush for the main headliner started, with the rain still lashing down as if straight from heavy metal hell, the crowd stuck with him until the end, allowing a delighted Bill to congratulate everyone on what he claimed must have been " the biggest comedy crowd ever, ever, ever". I’m not sure what McIntyre would say about that.
Scarborough Fair Rammstein-style
Gehst du nach Scarborough Fair?
Petersilie, Salbei, Rosmarin und Thymian,
Erinnere dich an mich an einen, der dort lebt,
Er (sie) war einmal eine wahre Liebe von mir.
I'm a huge Bill Bailey fan, and (I know this might surprise you) I'm also a pretty big Rammstein fan. I love it when things come together like this. Fuck yes!
