What Are You Saying?

We have a TV and it has only two English channels -- BBC World and CNN World (snores!). However, we turn it on for the cartoons, because some things are just universal. Like watching an Italian opera, you get the gist of it.

However, every ten minutes or so, one of us asks: "WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?!"

It goes a little like this: A car vrooms past on screen. German dialog commences between a character that looks like a hot dog, dressed in 1970s disco garb, and a plucky school boy. Laughter.

Leah looks back at me, "WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?"

I haven't a clue.
