Dunno, Paul -- Personally, I know I thought of it as Deutschland über Alles in a WWII sense, but only in that context. I'm not sure I ever thought it was the actual title, though...maybe because I tend to mix it up with a couple of hymns, anyway -- of course, I also want to sing O Canada to the tune of Tannenbaum! US Americans probably do think of it as DUA, though...not realizing that 'über' doesn't mean 'over', but rather 'above', in the sense of 'more than'. As my kid (raised speaking German) used to say -- i love chocolate above all candy! JHK |
