Is it Burger-muller or Boo-rgmuller

I get both, trying to figure out which one is right.

It's Boorg-müller, the 'ü' in 'müller' is the famous Umlaut that is difficult to pronounce for English-speaking people.

how about bugger-mooler.  no, that doesn't sound right.  
do you know why benches fall apart?  it is because they have lids with little tiny hinges so you can store music inside them.  hint:  buy a bench that does not hinge.  buy it for sturdiness.
