It's Fur Elise, not Fuer :)

so this Elise chick was really furry? Eeeewww :sick:

@ Alchemist - because of the umlaut it is acceptable to write it as Fuer. (German to English)

Für becomes Fuer the way it is pronounced.

Also, the ß sometimes is replaced with ss

Dunno who Elise was or if she's furry.

But I think of her every time my phone rings, for some reason! :D
