A German TV talk show where the hosts and audience sit in a wood-paneled alehouse and a polka band blares through a few bars, without provocation, for no clear reason at all: Too perfect. I don’t know what this show is called, but it seems like someone made it up to make fun of Germany, and I’d love to know how much self-awareness there is behind it. During her current swing through Europe, Lana Del Rey stopped by this show to listen to the hosts’ cheerfully mangled English and to perform a typically luminous version of “Video Games.” Watch it below.

In other Del Rey news, the great female pro wrestler Sara Del Rey (no relation) celebrated her birthday yesterday by defeating the ungodly-annoying bad guy Jakob Hammermeier at Chikara Pro Wrestling‘s High Noon internet pay-per-view, the best wrestling show I’ve seen in a while.

    The show is called “Inas Nacht” (“Ina’s night”). The host comes from the northern part of Germany (Hamburg or so) and the “Polka band” as you call it is actually a typical northern set up with accordeon and some brass – they usually do not play Polka but sailor songs and sing it in choirs :)

    It is a very popular show in Germany so going there is quite a good thing :)

    …ah, and it does not make fun of Germany at all, it just doesnt take itself too serious :)

    Tom, I had no clue you were a pro wrestling fan (by far the most interesting tidbit of this entire post). We should get a beer some time.
