It's actually a song title, so properly capitalized, but I mussed the V v. W because I do not speak German and forgot that when she sings "VASSuh", it's spelled with a W. :)

To me the pronunciation of the first letter of the English word water and the German word Wasser sounds the same, but maybe my English is wrong.
Apparently it varies, but German-W pronounced as English-V (or at least nearly so) is the most common variation?
Many sources on the net, but this one has the most nuanced discussion that I could find:
