parody
On December 27, 2019, the radio broadcaster WDR 2 put a video it produced of the WDR Children's Choir Dortmund online, which is a cooperation between the Dortmund Choir Academy and the WDR Rundfunkchor Cologne . The song sung in it, a satirical rewrite by the WDR-2 editorial team of Meine Grandma drives a motorcycle in the chicken coop , led to a shit storm , whereupon the broadcaster deleted the video and the director Tom Buhrow apologized to the audience.
