    MAX RAABE
Max Raabe is no ordinary German signer. His stunning baritone voice is accompanied by the succinct precision of the Palast Orchester. Together they put on a superlatively stylish performance in a 1920's caberet style, only they aren't singing 1920's songs. They have covered songs like 'Oops!... I did it Again" by Britney Spears and "We Will Rock You" by Queen. Juxtaposed with some serious dry humor...ausgezeichnet!

      PAUL BUNYAN
4th Place April 09 It took 5 giant storks to deliver this Legendary Lumberjack. As a baby his laugh broke every window in the house. He quickly learned that the Northwoods was the best place for someone with his strength. He could take down a whole forest with one swing of his ax. Lucky for him, Babe his Blue Ox helped haul in the lumber. Paul Bunyan can take credit for creating the Great Lakes, the Grand Canyon and Mount Hood. But in my opinion the best thing that came out of the folk legend is the Lumberjack Breakfast.

Some Awesome things about Paul Bunyan:
Paul Bunyan created the Great Lakes so he would have a watering hole large enough for Babe.
When he was a week old, he had to wear his father's clothes.
Paul's clothing was so large they had to use wagon wheels for buttons. They used a lumber wagon drawn by a team of oxen as a baby carriage.
He outgre that, and they had to build him a raft and floated it off the coast of Maine. When Paul turned over, it caused a 75 foot tidal wave in the Bay of Fundy. They had to send the British Navy over to Maine to wake him up. The sailors fired every canon they had in the fleet for seven hours straight before Paul Bunyan woke from his nap! When he stepped off the raft, Paul accidentally sank four war ships and he had to scramble around sccooping sailors out of the water before they drowned.
Paul Bunyan was the Chuck Norris of his time.

Whats even more Awesome is that Paul and I originate from the same state (or at least Bangor claims he did)! His big ole wooden statue is just across town.
reply
Holy flying squirrel nuts- he's singing a Tom Jones tune!?! My brain just caught fire. Triple bonus awesomeness, FTW.
reply
Max Raabe once faced off against Paul Bunyan in a lumberjacking competition.
No one knows who won, but the location of their epic lumberjacking battle is now known as the Sahara Desert. reply
I'd say I'd pick Bunyan in a fight, staring competition, or LumberOff... Raabe in an AwesomeOff
reply
so hes sorta like a Creepier German Richard Cheese?
reply
So much more than that. The guy is one of the best classically trained German opera singers of his generation and is doing a lot of varied Cabaret style numbers.
