On Youtube it just seems to be samples in English, no lyrics? There's a song of the same name by a band called Slime but I have no idea what they're saying besides the title (Death is a master from Germany). The lyrics to that are online, does this sound right? Google Translate. The few words I remember look right anyway. Celan's story is a reference to this.

I looked for Homer singing in German awhile ago but I couldn't find it online, our teacher had them on video or DVD. You should definitely watch it if you can find it though.
Oh, I see what you mean. The kind of movie where half the words that the Germans say are "schnell!!!!"? Haha. Still, it is a bit harsher than English. Last time I was in Germany I got made fun of by a Dutch guy because I wasn't pronouncing something harshly enough.

On a similar note to The Simpsons, I saw this on TV in Italy haha:
