Germanic types in yodeling copyright tussle
What's exactly in a yodel that brings a rosy hue to the milkmaid's cheek and spins the goatherd's lederhosen in knots? In the world of Alpine folk music, it's no mere idle question to echo off the walls.

Well I'm glad we cleared that one up...
...now where's my stein of ale?! :D
OMG
Gotta watch the video....laugh out loud. Haaaaaaaaaaaaaha de le
Watch it

'...more exciting to listen to Oktoberfest bands' - Who goes to Oktoberfest to listen to the music (let alone get excited by it...).
OT: perfect icon (perfekt ikon??) for this...
Is it too early to nominate...
...for 'Tagline of the Year' - because that one is wunderbar! :D
Seriously
Who can take music where the lyrics go "Little old lady who" at all seriously?
Hei-di-hei-do-haha...
....hei-di-hei-do-.haAAAAARRRRRRR *guitar riff*
Acccept - Fast as a shark.
