But you can hear a taste of America even in Europe. At German Oktoberfest celebrations, "Take Me Home, Country Roads" is a big hit. According to The Washington Post, the song is regularly sung in German beer halls, and has been for decades. That might seem like a strange choice, given it's an American folk tune that highlights the pleasures of rural America, something many Germans probably can't relate to. And in fact, it's not known exactly why Germans are such big fans of John Denver. Even Bill Danoff, the songwriter who penned the ballad, doesn't know what's going on with the Germans' interest, according to The Washington Post. His best guess? "It's very singable," he said.

German enough for me - and them, I suppose.
Kinda like the Hasselhoff thing, best not to try and reason with it.

The Hasselhoff thing … always amazing.
Also, the German girls were huge fans of The Backstreet Boys several years before making it big in the US.
I know this because I watch a documentary and the fact that this song still brings it…like a Gap Band song but late 90’s
