I would prefer to buy a Tyrolean hat

A big hit for Billy Mo in 1962.

das Humba Täterä

This is more of a party song than we may have realized. Maybe we should consider an a-capella version.

Look, a dead fish in the water

You are sure to recognize this old Italian tune. If you know why it's played by German bands, with lyrics about a dead fish in the water, let me know.

Ernst Mosch: Pfeffer und Salz

Here is a fine, jaunty Ernst Mosch number. An easy polka tempo. It has an elusive sort of rhythmic swing, both tragic and light. But why the hobo costumes? I'm guessing that these guys have downed even more alcohol than I have lately. I would venture to say that to a man, they have given up on most aspects of life. Western Civilization itself may be a complete loss, the human endeavor may no longer be a worthy project. However, they have not given up on everything. They still have sweet, melodic music.

Schwarze Augen

Also known as 'Dark Eyes', it's a Russian tune popular around the world. Sung here by Günter Wewel.

I was happy to find a Schwarze Augen by the always excellent Blaskapelle Tschecharanka. Turns out to be a totally different tune, but a beautiful one.

I agree with Carloscourts, who says: Now this is how to party! Sharktoberfest.

Is this the same Jennerwein in ≫Aplenlandische Blasmusik Heft 1≪?
