Party-Music from Austria? Political and against banking systems? Believe me, that works! Grab your beer!

Tonight while all of the Christmas Parties are going on, I want to share a little Austrian song with you.
Shall I really? Ah... just do it:
It's called "Brenna tuats guat" by Hubert von Goisern.
(Sorry, it is Youtube not Dtube).

I am not from Austria, I am from Germany. But in the end, that doesn't matter. If you like some good party-music you should listen to this one. The cool thing is, it is also kind of political. Political AND Party? Yes! That works! I really love this song.

Here is the translation for you (maybe I should put one up for native German speakers, because it is VERY Austrian^^... but it is easy to google, if they want to):

Where is that place
where the devil has its children
that's the place
where everything runs together
where is the fire
hey where's lightning striking now
where is that barn,
where's that hut that's burning

do we have tough luck or are we on a roll
are we falling over or attracting attention
are we thin or fat
are we out of luck or fortunate
are we dealing out or pouring some more
are we depressed or being happy
if we were christians, we had known
where the devil messes things up

everyone knows that
money doesn't grow on meadows
and you can't eat it, either,
but it burns damn well
but we're burning up wheat,
and the turnips and the corn
if we keep burning stuff like that
our hat will catch on fire // [it's the eleventh hour]

where is the money
that's missing everywhere
is there nobody with a sense of embarrassment?
why are always those people stepping up
who lie, twist the truth
and if they don't get what they want
it gets stolen,
to hell with those sharpers!

I hope you have a good time with this one! It's kind of Hüttengaudi!
(I hope Cheetah won't get up to me because of this translation)

Einer seiner besten Songs!

Doch noch jemand hier, der ihn mag! ^^ Und ja, das finde ich auch.

oh wie ich den Österreichischen Akzent liebe lol....~Merry Christmas~ :-)

😂 Ja ich find den auch super! Hab nen Kollegen auf Arbeit, den versteh ich kaum, muss jedes Mal nachfragen. Amüsiert mich halt eher, ich glaub er kommt damit auch klar. ^^ Mir hat mal ein Wiener versucht beizubringen, das Lied "richtig" zu singen... keine Chance! Merry Christmas to you! Vielleicht hätt ich es sogar unter "deutsch" stellen sollen, aber ich wollte das eher so "völkerverständigungsmäßig"... ach naja... was man manchmal so will... ^^
