Puppy love?

I admit it, my relationship to the wonderful muscial The Sound of Music, might be a bit... strange. It dominated large parts of my childhood and formed my identity. My interest in young nuns and young men in tight german uniforms most likely comes from an overexposure to this movie during formative years. Blame my parents for not letting me watch Rambo-movies.

On the other hand, no one can deny that it is a timeless masterpiece, even if they do reject me invites to Sound of Music Sing-a-long-events at my gloomy bachelor pad. The music is wonderful, the story is magical and the lyrics are witty... you would think that you couldn't go wrong with it.

Then again, you probably haven't seen this version of "Sixteen, going on seventeen"
