Fuck Me, That's A Whole Lotta Umlauts

No, not some obscure metal band indulging in a rock dots frenzy, but the best word in any language ever*, the Turkish equivalent of cock-a-doodle-doo, the greatest onomatopeia of them all, and, without a doubt, the finest song title Magma never came up with:

üü-ürü-üüü

Genius.

*Except "plinth". And possibly "spatchcock"...

With a little effort they could have made it into a palindrome too.

Speaking of umlauts: someone should do a series about an Estonian composer working as a brickie on a building site in Germany: Auf Wiedersehn, Pärt.

I'll get my goat.
