"Du, die Wanne ist voll" is a parody of the song "You're the One That I Want", by German comedians Helga Feddersen and Dieter Hallervorden. It was released as a single in 1978.
It is sung in a bizarre mixture of German and English, with the middle-aged Hallervorden and Feddersen pretending to be youthful lovers. The music video was produced by NDR.
"Du, die Wanne ist voll" literally translates to '[Hey,] You, the bathtub is full', fitting in syllable length, and the joke consists of partially using German words that sound similar to the English ones (like soramimi or a deliberate mondegreen).
The single reached number four on the German Singles Chart.
