My Penis is a Mountain: Opera Singer’s Mistake in Singing Croatian National Anthem Helps the Team “Rise to the Occassion”

What’s funnier, the fact that English opera singer Tony Henry mistakenly said “My Penis is a Mountain” while singing the Croatian National Anthem? Or the fact that Croatia ended up defeating England and that BBC had to write “rose to the occasion”? Or Henry defending himself?

Croatia rose to the occasion in their crucial Euro 2008 defeat of England - after an apparent X-rated gaffe by an English opera singer at Wembley. Tony Henry belted out a version of the Croat anthem before the 80,000 crowd, but made a blunder at the end. He should have sung ‘Mila kuda si planina’ (which roughly means ‘You know my dear how we love your mountains’).

But he instead sang ‘Mila kura si planina’ which can be interpreted as ‘My dear, my penis is a mountain.’

Henry is becoming a cult hero in Croatia, but denies he played a part in England’s exit. “I can’t take the blame for that. The last thing I would do is brag about my parts like that - especially to make it so public,” said Henry.
