Considering the German audience, most probably didn't realize that he mutilated the song's meaning. I mean, whatever your take on the original song, turning it into a cutesy story about a boy cheating on his girlfriend and having a predominantly female audience applaud after the performance is hilarious. In a sad way.

(We get "My Happy Ending" as background music for reunion scenes of two lovers in German movies/tv series, for example, and not many seem to understand that that really doesn't fit, so nothing new there, I guess.)

In my country English songs play on the radio that have words like "pussy", "shit" and "motherfucker" and noone gives a damn. Play such a song in our native language - it would get censored. That's how things go if you only understand 1/3 of the words.

I don't get what's so facepalm-y about that.

It's facepalmy when it's being used on film, which means it was meant to enhance the images being shown. 'My Happy Ending' is a break-up song, and it doesn't hide from that fact ('You were everything/Everything that I wanted/We were meant to be/Supposed to be/But we lost it/All the memories so close to me just fade away/All this time you were pretending/So much for my happy ending'). It's using music that is at complete odds with the message that you want to convey. When using music to enhance a scene, you need to know what the message the music is giving to know that it really does match the mood you're going for.
