A better reason to learn it is that anything you say in German sounds like swearing.
Mein Hovercraft ist voll von Aalen!
Too many Hollywood movies m3in Freund.
Yeah. Once I overheard someone chatting behind me while in a train. I knew it was in German because I've learnt some long time before. It was the cutest (presumably romantic) conversation I've ever even though I didn't understand much. Before that I've always thought French sounded the nicest, but that conversation shattered my belief.
A while later, I went to Germany to visit friend. While at a museum I read out loud some descriptions on items there. He told me I spoke like in films, even like Hitler. Hearing him talking with family, it was very casual and there was no sudden change of intonation like in movies. I somehow realized stereotype in movies ruined my perspective on the language.
I recently started hearing playlists of French punk rock. I can confirm, if you don't pay attention what they're saying it sounds.... German
La vache! La vache!

An old Monty Python reference. ๐
