Wiesn-Hit song of Oktoberfest 2008

Some things come, some things go, but Oktoberfest music is eternal.
From DJ Ötzi and his "Hey Baby" to STS and their beloved "Fürstenfeld" plus Wolfgang Petri and his "Wahnsinn", there's something for everyone on the wrong end of several Maß to yell along to in some form or another.

But every year has a new Wiesn-Hit and it's rather traditional at this tome of year to have a guess at what it could be.
Previous Wiesn-Hits have included "Dragostea Din Tei", "Holzmichl", "Macarena", "54, 74, 90, 2006" or last year's "Ein Stern, der deinen Namen trägt" from DJ Ötzi?
Bayerischer Rundfunk is currently running an online vote to find out your potential Wiesn-Hit and it's pretty unaminous:
Donikkl's "So a schöner Tag (Der Flieger)"


I can actually see this taking off big style, all the lalallalalalalallaa bits, the jumping up and down and the bit where you can do hand actions are a must.

In comparison, the other options such as Kid Rock's "All Summer Long" (with the tune of old Oktoberfest favourite "Sweet Home Alabama") or the durrdurdurdurdurrrdurrr chords ("Seven Nation Army") seem a little er... passive?
It certainly did the business at the Gäubodenfest in Straubing, guess I'll see at the weekend if it has reached Rosenheim!

What's your Wiesn-Hit prediction?

When it's not the band playing, Scooter - Jumping All Over The World.

Can't see a Bayerische Band managing it somehow.

Just as long as they stop trying to play the ketchup song. Only one chick in all the tents was ever able to actually spew out the lyrics correctly (in Fischer Vroni). And if I never hear Hey Baby again it'll be too soon.

And yes, I know the damned song is called "Asereje" but most people call it the "Ketchup Song".

woof.

de schpinade Zeid geht hoid iaz scho fria a.

Donikkl did get the crowds going in Rosenheim, but they mostly played the oldies in the Auer tent. Really lovely fest, well worth the trip if you can make it.

Oktoberfest Hit 2008 "I am from Bavaria"



(And the sexy version, with subtitles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGtkwMtLyjw)

I'm just thinking what's going to happen in the Bräurosl with the line:
"So groß groß groß groß wie ein Giraffe!"

I thought it was shite at first but it grows on you.

I have never heard that song (I am from Bavaria) before - It was fun to watch and listen to!!

Just cancelled my reservation.

Bet the most played one is Prosit ein prosit

Yeah, it'll be Kid Rock's “All Summer Long”. It has all the elements: catchy appeal, lyrics about drinkin’ & makin’ sweet love, and a cheesy nostalgia for mainstream rock.

What about Paddy's revenge?

I grew-up in Mich, right near a Great Lake.. We have a cabin in Cadillac still to this day. I was doin the Kid Rock video thing at least 5 years before him! Everybody owned a boat themself, or knew 3 people with one.. Those double-decker, party, catamaran style boats were alot of fun. We still setup the dj equipment on a larger (50+foot boat, string a few together, party it up in Mich on Lake St. Clair)... checkout Jobbienooner dot com one day.

That is a catchy, although somewhat copycat & " hokie " tune...

i just had an overwhelming amount of flashbacks on reading that. totally gone in my memory till just now. thanks for posting that


oh yes!!! love it
guess people should be practising the dance/jig for that eh??

Well, has a contender emerged yet for our 2008 Wiesn-hit song??

In Tennessee, we were doing that when both the actual songs were on the charts.

Right now it's between Donikkl and the Joana (Du geile Sau) one.
Not Kid Rock, rote Pferd got played but Donikkl and Joana got the crowds going most - think Joana could take it though.

Thanks for the link Katrina- those are both fun! We're vicariously living the Wiesn right now via the iTunes Music Store and this forum! Woot! We'll be there in 5 days for real!

PS- For anyone wanting to add to their Oktoberfest music collection, here are a few I've stumbled across on iTunes. (These are party albums, not traditional mixes).
One album
And another!
And one more!

LOL great song! And one of the few I haven't been able to find on iTunes. Anyone know of a downloadable MP3?

Thanks!
