Week Seventy-Five: Oktoberfest - Edelweiss - "Bring Me Edelweiss" - Single

For months now, I have been promising my mother a Polka week. This blog is labeled as the soundtrack of my life after all, and Polka made up a huge portion of my younger years; so, Mother, here is your Polka week... I hope you enjoy it!!! For those of you who are not Polka fans --- well, first of all, shame on you, and secondly, stick with me for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, and I promise that I will have a huge treat for you on Thursday... a tune you probably haven't heard in years!!!

#######################################

As promised, I told you that if you would hang in there with me this week, I would have a special treat for you today. I really wish more retro clubs would have played this one, but I so rarely ever heard it that I almost forgot about it!

If this one doesn't bring a smile to your face, then you must be a downright miserable person because I cannot watch this without snickering the entire time!!!

And if you get the reference in the part of the song that begins: "Last night the Förster saved my life!", then we really, really need to be friends!!!

So
when you really love me
darling
bring me Edelweiss.

So when you really love me you should bring me Edelweiss.

Freibier! Oh yeah! Freibier! Oh yeah! That's the way we like it!

So when you really love me
darling
bring me Edelweiss.

So when you really love me you should bring me Edelweiss.

Woman
I need some Austrian loving
I know what it means
I better start climbing for the dopest flower on the top of the
mountain.
I know what you want
they don't grow on the ground
Hiking up North like Cooly C
you see eye to eye
We're picking the one and only flower that shows love
As you look into my eyes
so we can show it with Edelweiss.

So when you really love me
darling 
bring me Edelweiss

So when you really love me you should bring me Edelweiss.

Ruck-sack
Rucksack!
Last night the Förster saved my life!
Last night a Freibier turned me round
And round and down and down and down
Round and round and down and down and down.

So when you really love me
You should bring me Edelweiss!
