Spike Jones & His City Slickers, "Der Fuehrer's Face" from The Spike Jones Anthology (T.L.A.M.)

Commentary: There is nothing amiss with the title of "Der Fuehrer's Face." My quarrel in this instance is with the spell checker that inspects bloggy blog posts during their composition. "Fuehrer" is the accepted English language spelling of the German word Führer, when it is inconvenient or impossible to place an umlaut atop the letter u. Whatever spell checking software Blogger's evil masters at Google require, it faults both Fuehrer & Führer, giving its blessing only to the nonsense word "Fuhrer." "Fuhrer" is a word in neither German nor English. I should have expected nothing less from the villains at Google, since their company itself is branded with a nonsense word. (Googol, an actual word, is faulted as misspelt in Google's Newspeak, while "Google" gets the seal of approval. For that matter, misspelt is faulted, Google's Newspeak only permitting the alternate—equally valid—spelling "misspelled." While I'm at it, Google's Newpeak approves of burnt, but finds fault with learnt & dreamt. Not just fiends, but inconsistent fiends, the very worst kind.)
