"ICH HEISSE SUPERFANTASTISCH! ICH TRINKE SCHAMPUS MIT LACHSFISCH!"
How could anyone forget those immortal lines?
As for English-language artists recording German versions of their songs, this was far more common in a bygone era. The Beatles, Johnny Cash, Petula Clark--you can find various examples here. The best I've heard, though, is Peter Gabriel, who do at least two entire albums in German. Interestingly, he often chose to preserve the rhymes and rewrite the lyrics to match, so the content is actually fairly different in German (although the basic theme is always the same).
