anotheranonIt's got everything - yodeling, cleavage, lederhosen, BEER! Wait for it....
Background: This record was a #1 hit in Europe in 1989 and was allegedly made using The Manual (How to Have a Number One The Easy Way) by the Timelords (furthermore known as The KLF, whose manipulation/playing with the media has a long and amusing history). Not high art, but a silly send-up of every German stereotype available.
My own history with it: Incredibly (or not), I have it on 12" twice, if only because an Abba melody with beats is fun to dance to. During my music evangelist teenage years, one kid liked this song so much he had me put it on two mixtapes.
