He must have had the same textbook as me for German at school- Deutsches Leben. There was indeed a chapter- Jakob die Rabe- about Jakob the raven. Good old Jakob- ravens like the smaller version- the crow are just a barrel of laughs- it's their job.
my book was about Till Eulenspiegel, Lorelei, Goethe...."Wer reitet so spät durch nacht und wind?"...devenu un poeme pedocriminel selon certains psys modernes..la déchéance de notre société moderne
When we were at school, some of us went on an exchange trip to Germany. Monty Python were really big so we ended up learning the German for things like "My hovercraft is full of eels" (mein Luftkissenboot is voller Aale). Nowadays I live in Germany but haven't been in many situations where the phrase has been useful :-)
Drenwickification This comment is so old, but by the odd chance that you’re still interested, the first word of his sentence is Jacob. However, since the German language is a phonetic language and follows strict phonetic rules, it would sound as if he were saying “Yacub” in English.
I as a German actually didn't understand it because he said a word incorrectly. When he was explaining and telling us the English translation I immediately got it though.
I got to choose whether I studied French or German at my school (in England) and what persuaded me to do German was the Beatles going to Hamburg, I want to be able to visit all the Beatles tours there. and I'm glad I did because I'm doing really well in German lessons at the moment.
They got their first gigs in the clubs in Hamburg. Hamburg is in German. Now why would you think the British would be compelled to learn the language of the enemy they helped anguish? Does that make ANY sense?
he said it too fast for me to translate... but u know i know some german and i know more than that. i took german class cuz of these dudes and a friend of mine who looks like george and is German
:-) he often mentions it when he is doin gigs in Germany. Last time, 2016, in Düsseldorf, he mentioned "Jakob der Rabe...." again, and wondered, what unuseful things one learns at school....

Cheyenne x it is. Paul is wearing the same coat, shirt and tie he wore on The Tonight Show in October of 1984 to promote his movie “Give My Regards To Broad Street.”
I have to strongly disagree with Paul on this one. Anyone who's familiar with German TV, or at least that of the 1990's with Siebenstein, will know that Rudi is by far and away the cheekiest raven of them all....)))

Sure. If one thinks that all you need to do is replace words of one language into another. Translation won't help if you're dealing with an idiomatic expression, a use of preposition that doesn't make sense to you.
@@boxsterman77 What's fun is to translate a sentence into another language, then take what you get and translate it back. Sometimes it's the same, often times different.
Er sagt: "Jakob war der frechste von allen Vögeln die ich je gesehen habe".
Rice Dark
Wer ist Jakob?
Wenn er John meint: da steckt das Wort ,,vögeln" drinnen....
jakob der rabe,und vögeln du meinst die zweite bedeutung? sowas von unverschamt,aber ich mag moderne madchen und das das doppelt gerede lg.
Er sagt "frechte" :P
@@rxbxccx_04 Viele Vögel
Ja, aber meinte eigentlich "Jakob war der frechste von allen, die ich je vögeln gesehen habe".

Jakob DIE Rabe? :D
Der Rabe, if you prefer it. I have to admit, that learning all the correct terms for the definite article proved a bit too much for me.
NickRatnieks
I just wanted to know if it was your mistake, or if it was already in the book? :)
my book was about Till Eulenspiegel, Lorelei, Goethe...."Wer reitet so spät durch nacht und wind?"...devenu un poeme pedocriminel selon certains psys modernes..la déchéance de notre société moderne
I didnt und understand any word. But I am German.
+Flutterheart "Die ich je gesehen habe" ist doch klar, oder?
+acoronab Aber das davor? xD
Flutterheart So you actually did understand some words, lol : )
haha, just joking xD
Er sagt: "Jakob war der frechste von allen Vögeln die ich je gesehen habe."
Ein toller Kerl! Hoffentlich bleibt er uns noch eine Weile erhalten.
He's kept a stronger Scouce accent in German than in English, I think. That sentence is preserved from his school days!
"den ich je gesehen habe" ist sehr gut zu verstehen, das davor nicht ;-)
Jakob war der frechste von allen Vögeln
they recorded two songs in german.
Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand und Sie Liebt Dich
Hilf (help)
and Geh Raus
@@nielsoncallejo8845 that was the Beatles revival band
Yeah they thought they needed the German fans , but after the success they didn't need to sing in German anymore

He actually says: "Jacob was the cheekiest of all birds I've ever seen", not "ravens".
Lollyta1298 maybe "rabins"?
When he speaks german when does he actually say Jacob? I can’t hear it
Oh wait he’s pronouncing it ‘ya-cob’ in german?
yup
Lollyta1298 he did say “roughly translated”

Omg, this man is my favorite!
From Benny Hill I learned it is very important to know how to say, "I have a red pencil box."
"jakob war der frechste von allen vögeln, die ich je gesehen habe." ^^ (I'm german =D)
Translate please 😘
The funniest thing about this is Paul McCartney is literally in the German book my school uses for German 5 to promote vegetarianism.
I speak some as well but his accent was a bit funny haha.
It sounded a bit like Dutch.
@@boxsterman77 Yeah, german with a english accent, it's basically dutch lol
"Jakob war die Frechte von allen Vögeln, die ich je gesehen habe."
0:31 er sagt raven... Also auf deutsch Rabe ☺️
I feel like they had to learn it especially after WW2 ended, I don't know maybe that has something to do with it
They got their first gigs in the clubs in Hamburg. Hamburg is in German. Now why would you think the British would be compelled to learn the language of the enemy they helped anguish? Does that make ANY sense?
He is so cute.
At least he got the ‘ich’ kinda right rather than pronouncing it ‘isch’ like most English people do
He is more than 50% of the Beatles ....Great Guy
u been huffin glue madman
I learned German in school too
Change over day!
why would you translate it he did it already...
Haha ❤ so cute
Monty Python did a whole show in German.
very clever
I think I remember reading that it was George who translated ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand’ and ‘She Loves You’ into German ? 🤔
It was "Camilo Felgen", who helped them translate "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" into german versions.
Guess you could say Georgle translate 😂
he said it too fast for me to translate... but u know i know some german and i know more than that. i took german class cuz of these dudes and a friend of mine who looks like george and is German
As a German I can confirm that you won't get that far with this sentence.
Well....good done
I wonder if he would still say that in his interviews nowadays.
:-) he often mentions it when he is doin gigs in Germany. Last time, 2016, in Düsseldorf, he mentioned "Jakob der Rabe...." again, and wondered, what unuseful things one learns at school....
Why wouldn't he?
oooooooooooooohhhhhh
What are you talking about Billy? You weren't there🗿✋️
Ich finds etwas karg,wo er doch so lang auf Hamburgs Reeperbahn gelebt hat.
When did this pearl happened???
Ich bin...du bist... ir er is ist... or something like that ...Std 6 German...Miss Carsten.. Milnerton High... she became Mrs Grobelar...nice peep....

Im german and I have no idea what he said 😂
It's sounded very Dutch. I learned my German in Rheinland-Pflaz.
My mother tongue is German but I only understand the English translation ... LOL
eigentlich heißt es ja Jakob der Rabe war der frechste von allen Vögeln, die ich je gesehen habe.“
Genau. Jakob war ein Rabe sein.
"Jakob war der frechste von allen Vögeln die ich je gesehen habe?" - hää???
What a coincidence! I'm in German 2 right now. Sprechen Sie Deutsch xD
+Rocketlvr3000 Me too! :D
Das ist supermegatoll!
It means do you speak German?
I just had my first German lesson in school today. I only know the alphabet and how to say 'yes', 'no', 'thank you', 'hello' and 'goodbye'.
looks to be from around 1984ish
Cheyenne x it is. Paul is wearing the same coat, shirt and tie he wore on The Tonight Show in October of 1984 to promote his movie “Give My Regards To Broad Street.”
It sounds more like Dutch, but not German :) I mean, his pronunciation.
I like Paul's German btw!
Vince Hutch Yeah and there are are lot of "h" sound
Can a dutch person understand a german person and vice-verse, each speaking their own language?
rafasounds2010 A little bit. But I think Dutch persons can understand Germans better than the other way round.
I so agree.
I have to strongly disagree with Paul on this one. Anyone who's familiar with German TV, or at least that of the 1990's with Siebenstein, will know that Rudi is by far and away the cheekiest raven of them all....)))
lol i learn German in school aswell.
His voice change when he speaks German😅

For those who dont know german, he said " the real paul mccartney died in 1966"
