Towards the end of Mike Lupica's show this week, he ran out of music to play and asked listeners to email him an MP3 to help fill the rest of his show. One of them was Schnappi das Klein Krokodil. It's sung by a 4 year old girl, and apparently it reached no. 1 on the charts in Germany and many other countries. Mike also pulls in a double with Wackies as another great pick of the week.
All MP3 and RealAudio links are streaming links from the WFMU Archives.

I only time i heard Schnappi was in a rendition by my two little nephews. I thought they had lost their minds... Then my father joined in. I knew i had missed something.
