Oh, ich will betteln, ich will stehlen - Ellen Caron

In 1972 the New Seekers represented the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest with 'Beg, Steal or Borrow'. It wasn't unusual for artists at the time to record their Eurovision songs in different languages, and in the case of the New Seekers, they went for German and recorded 'Oh, ich will betteln, ich will stehlen'. 

German schlager singer thought this was an opportunity, so she decided to record a cover version of that song. And so here's another version of 'Oh, ich will betteln, ich will stehlen'. I actually think it sounds better than the New Seekers version!
