Edelweiss - bring me edelweiss

[chirstopherj22]

ruck sack rucksack awsome tune

[krinker514]

Even though they ripped off the chorus of ABBAs SOS, the song is still catchy. I do like the video better with the blatant boobie groping.

[nalogodavac]

you're pretty young

[toccifan1]

[DoctorThor21]

[ChaoYun]

[fcgroninger]

Yes it sounds like Abba and SOS but this is fun.

And if it is fun it is going to very laughin.

[lewis72]

@tranchedepavaroti

Yeah, I think they got sued to buggery for that.

[Kelly14UK]

@tranchedepavaroti Ja. Gut.

[Zeanu]

Pioneering electronica.

[lordofbore]

[freakette55]

HILARIOUS!

Makes me want to go to the petting zoo and pull a goat tail, then down a big ol' mug of BIER!

[sestalker73]

Bringing me back... Way back.

[harryfromwork]

Haha..The yodeling sample sounds like it's taken from the Cranberries song, Zombie, but that's not possible.

[Tcc80s]

@harryfromwork yeah you're right!

[harryfromwork]

@tranchedepavaroti Yeah, I always thought so too.

[n8n8baby]

58 people failed to bring the Edelweiss

[lebrito88]

@tranchedepavaroti Jahwol! Sure! Claro! Mais Oui! Perfettamente!

[lebrito88]

@tranchedepavaroti Jahwoll!!

[lebrito88]

Quanto tempo!!

[senjoyo1]

I almost forget about this song.

Man....did this song made me laugh back then.

[bergzicht1980]

[hercules105]

@tranchedepavaroti

[aria926]

[drbobbeattie]

[salemdoom]

@tranchedepavaroti well... duh!!

[Zontar82]

that blonde near the end of the video is sooo hot..god bless the 80's

[2000Ajjet]

@Zontar82 look for this on 'Top Of The Pops', I think her name was Mercedes Hall, you see more of her...they pretty much demolish the stage.

[OverMuraMovingCake]

FREI BIER- RUCK SACK xD

[FranHu75]

leben so viele Neger in Österreich? 1990 lachte ich immer darüber

[joelt6502]

God I totally had forgotten about this song!...a bell went off when I was flipping through the channels and heard the Edelweiss song from the Sound of Music. I used to dance like mad to this song at the new wave clubs back in the day!!

[TheHSFT]

@giguchan dude i know where that is! my older sister used to go there in her clubbing days.

[bigjohnstud75]

is that Goofy yodeling in the backround?

[malcy34]

@tranchedepavaroti They did use a sample of the ABBA song...

[thudson99]

Awesome nose picking experience. I'd hire him to pick my nose any day!

[setepenra0069]

I hear a sample of Amadeus from Falco! (the aaauw) it is full of samples!

[Vinnyhm]

1:04 Oh wow!

[jvane2010]

@tranchedepavaroti really..?

[hefeweissbier]

Ich fetz mich an, mich hats verbogen vor lauter Lachen, als ich mir das Video jetzt reingezogen habe.

Über 20 Jahre ist es schon her, die Zeit vergeht!

[dkfelix]

@tranchedepavaroti certainly

[bertmann]

last night a förster saved my life :)

austrians are the best, they are not always talking about the money thing, they do so much just for fun :)

[typeOpositive]

frei bier :)

[percevalyumyums]

@tranchedepavaroti i don't think it sounds like it as much as its a take-off

[NeverBeenSerious]

gruseliges video xD

aber echt leiwaunds lied :)

[LoGiQnS]

Yes, it's like the sound of ABBA's song SOS. Sampling is typical of early house music.

[patrickleeuwen]

Found the piano!

You Tube song: oyOvHHVSaMs

[TF2Medic2]

@tranchedepavaroti yes

[mrskaffd]

I'm 14 again!!!!

[nassdu78]

@mrskaffd

so am I...

[dinnye001]

So ,that is how old I am ?

I still love this song !!

[2992fuzi]

Sound like: you put some songs in a .zip-archive, and at the decompressing happens a big mistake...then you will get something like that!

i like this song!

[InflatablePlane]

Dang! I had this on a "Formel Eins" cassette and used to love it! The tape broke and I haven't heard it in 13 years until now...Thanks for posting :D

[BaseDeltaZero1972]

Play it loud. :)

[Gryzpan]

OUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHH

[WebManWalking]

Thanks for posting this. I bought it on iTunes, but I didn't know till just now that there was a video. Hope they start selling the video there too.

Truly silly Austrian techno '80s dance music at its finest.

[SUPERDOOPERTUBER]

The yodeling was done by Austrian singer Maria Mathis. The other female on this is New York jazz singer Mercedes Hall. She sings the line at the end "So when you really love me you should bring me Edelweiss". ABBA sued the group for using their hit "SOS" for the chours of Bring Me Edelweiss.

[bissia]

that's what happen when one follows the manual

[fl0nk11]

I've always loved this nutty song.

[dannidog]

can you believe this shite got on top of the pops??

[ferdi1441]

bester Edel-Trash

[Thetellurianvortex]

Eighties cheese at it's finest.

[wildhobby]

There's no school like the 'old skool' :-)

[SuperMan2817]

Fuck the what thats a greate shit ^^

[dissectional75]

I owned this cassette single in '89! <3

[toddnevinsable]

Love it :) Classic Swiss themed club song ! Great memories :) Thank you !

[hugohabich]

@toddnevinsable

Not swiss - Austrian

[MrFargus65]

just remember doing the clubs to this

[penpenpe1]

YES



[ryolite38]

Bloody hell it's Floella Benjamin at 3.24.

[footienz]

Bouncing Titties, beer swilling, catchy beat...........What's not to like about this somg?. Still better than some of the horse shit being produced these days!!

[whitekuduone]

It's funny that they felt the need to include dwarves, blacks, wiggers, and assorted misfits to star in the video. WTF?!

[OliverClassified]

Love it! Memories are made of this.. can't believe I actually bought the 7" single :P

[crozwayne]

FLIP, I fancy like mad the girl at 43 seconds!! I wonder if she looks as good 21 years on? x

[vitacit]

ah, those hilarious austrians))) our western neighbours...)))

[0x777]

@tranchedepavaroti

Sure, they read The Manual (How to Have a Number One the Easy Way) and followed it faithfully.

[Eisenauge100]

what the fuck?! ban it!

[jessypoo21]

@tranchedepavaroti it's suppost to. This song was made in response to a book which stated that to have a number one hit, you needed to find a beat which already existed and was therefore already popular and then add it to your own song.

[Kramttin]

Hehe, this is wonderful! :D My father had the LP when I grew up.

[ACDCGUY13]

this is seriously one of the weirdest videos ive ever seen

[pickelamarsch]

@tranchedepavaroti you are right :-) they take their melody :-)

[Naderke]

Wunderbar! I found this clip very impressive as a seven year old boy. Especially the pink cow and the lady eating snow! :-)

Still a big fan now!

[Sharinize]

lol

[Bhodisatvas]

silly silly people :)

[bigdave6777]

i lurvve big tittys

[jonzfriend]

I remember this video as being one of the most peculiar that I'd ever seen. The samples are enjoyable, however, if you get over being a stuffed shirt and simply enjoy the technology and innovation of the performers. ABBA's little snips are cute, too.

[kalyptus666]

geil !!!!!!!!!

[CHRIZ070584]

edelweiß came from austria!

[gregoryagogo]

Was always a fun song... love all the German music samples.

[audi88q]

lol WTF?

[blackpoolacer]

love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[cutespeedlauren]

Oh gah. I love it!

[Sabrewolf1982]

Ich höre gern geisteskranke Lieder aber das ist bei mir tOP!! und das videoo erst wie geil

[Simsonschieber]

Man ich hab das album im Keller... jetzt weiß ich auch warum das im keller liegt...xD

[pocandch7]

I actually own this, lol!!

[pocandch7]

I actually own this, lol!!

[weedkilla357]

Hammer Video. Hab ich irgendwann in den frühen 90ern das erste Mal gesehen. Bekomm ich jedes Mal richtig Gute Laune davon. Danke für´s Posten. Kann mir jemand sagen, wer der Dicke aus dem Video ist?? Der Typ hat echt Talent!

[xStraightTalkingx]

Komm und zeig mir die Titten von Heidi ! Dann seid ihr perfekt. Was für ein scheiß ! Aber Ok, mit dem Behinderten könnt ihr im Land der unbegrenzten Möglichkeiten bestimmt Geld verdienen. Lass mich raten, die Band kommt aus Wien ?

[sippndipp]

Heidi ist schweizerin du spaßbremse. ja einige mitglieder der band sind aus wien und du kommst wohl aus Strickstadt? wenn dich der zwerg stört was sagst du zu den schwarzen im dirndl?

[sandratnt]

Dit is pas muziek:))))

[Fradiavolo67]

Freibier!

Ayeah!

[Adionse]

Actually history tell us that the most brilliant minds, good or bad persons, came from german people.

[sgtcrabfat]

@Adionse thats interesting,Iwas talking to a mate and we tried to list all things that were discovered/invented by people of Scottish origin or decent, it was a long and unfinished list:-)

[ferrers88]

@Adionse what a dick!!!!!!!!

[Seriona]

@Adionse Try and tell that to the Americans and Russians.

[Adammacuser2]

@Adionse Agreed!

[goedit]

Love it!!! Thanks for posting this!!!

[StuntBase]

Op op XD

[SH1974]

Damals hat Musik noch Spass gemacht!

2:57 last night a förster saved my live *lol*

[kapbenc]

Edelweiss stole from Abba.

Madonna stole from Abba.

I prefer Edelweiss' cover. :D

[Noodhoog]

Proof that the KLF's Manual works.

[0x777]

@Noodhoog

I was about to write this. Allegedly they read the manual and simply heeded it. And it really sounds like the formula explained there. You need:

1. A catchy base line.

2. A "theme".

3. A few samples from famous songs.

Yup. All there. They did it again with Starship Edelweiss and presto, another hit.

[dschoene57]

you know you're getting old when you realize that you was dancing to that in your youth :-S

[Katrin1186]

ja ja and Americans always eat burger and English people are so white like ghosts and drink always tea :-D bla bla

[UnknowablEnigma]

*laughs* Wonderful this is kind of like an Austrian 80's Coldcut, ridiculous but wonderful none the less.. : ) Thanks for posting

[Lindkind89]

ajo, ausserdem haben nich alle damen soviel Holz vor der Hütte^^

[lou4life]

this is an example why the whole world thinks that the germans an austrians are retarded

[Lindkind89]

i don't care about that how other countries think about austria^^ es is mir egal das die glauben wir säßen den ganzen tag am bier und Schnapstrinkend am Berg und tanzen hin und weider mal an Schuplattler^^

[kaiserfranz0815]

@lou4life So, and you´re from...?

[dschonsie]

...and because of that, well educated americans drive their retarded german cars to, for example, the met, where they can listen to the absolutely retarded music of austrian composers.

[fragezeichen90]

...weil "the whole world" ja bring me edelweiss oder österreich kennt! Die ami's kennen unser schönes Österreich doch nichtmal!

[EgoCentrum]

lou4life: It´s not true the whole world thinks that germans and austrians are retarded. I´d rather say the whole world thinks you are retarded because of that comment :-)

[djgambitron]

i used to wait patiently for this song to get played back when MTv was still MUSIC television!

[mathiasvolta]

Zeitlos geil !!!

Schade, daß solche Lieder nicht mehr im Radio laufen, wo wir doch unzählige "Kulthits" und "die meisten 80er" Sender haben. :-(

5 Sterne von mir !

[mjack71170]

Those were the best days - they don't make dance music like that any more!!!!

[joshnfuller]

Man, I forgot about "The Manual" music until I started trolling old KLF joints. I really should pull out my copy, find some friends and start recording.

[FoxyLady290672]

Oh yes, those were the days :D

[lulubug4808]

@FoxyLady290672 Hey you, remember all great drugs back then? I am a mother of a 16 yr old and damn, the remix brings me back. Sorry if your are not from the 80's...or if I offended talking about my free time in highschool :)

[FoxyLady290672]

LOL, no offence at all, I too remember those days, and I was a teen in the 80's (and i also have a 16yr old), happy days!!

[lulubug4808]

@FoxyLady290672 Great!! We seem to have a few things in common. sometimes wish I could go back to those care free days...I wish you all the best!!

[FoxyLady290672]

Oh Lord, me too!! Best wishes to you too. x

[lulubug4808]

@FoxyLady290672 Do you remember Tesla Girls by OMD? Someone called me a Tesla Grannie. I was like...I do not have grandkids and wont anytime soon...what a little punk...lol!!
