The song makes a lot of cultural references on how we're all together in the same boat, and how the things in History bind us together.

From Cæsar with Cleopatra, to Genghis Khan, who had made three children, and Napoleon's Waterloo, and that on Earth lives a billion people: one of them is you. How the urbanite dreams of being a farmer, how a farmer dreams of being a urbanite, etc. Why they sing in German, even though English will be better understood in Germany someday. Etc. A lot of things.

@HuhHahDK No problemo...I about didn't figure it out myself until I recognized the particular move they did at 2:30 (which actually still makes me laugh a little inside upon seeing it).

[HuhHahDK]

@MladaOfHamelin That's IT! You figured it out! Now that you mention it, you can see Louis getting into position on the left and Wolfgang on the right at 2:25, as you say...........

That has driven me crazy for a LONG time now- thank you for solving that!!

@Petra1701 and @HuhHahDK - I studied this switch, and it just hit me, they used the ending portion of the video twice. I realized it when the segment at 1:37 is identical to the part at 2:25, so it's all from the same actual performance...

[Petra1701]

@HuhHahDK I never noticed this ...oops.

I can tell you this: There was only one performance in the TV show, but they did a couple of run-throughs in the dress rehearsal in the afternoon. It is possible that a glitch would have been covered with material recorded in the rehearsal, but I would have been sitting in a different seat. I don't remember where exactly I sat during the rehearsal, this was over 30 years ago! But it was pretty empty for the rehearsal.

[HuhHahDK]

@Petra1701 That's incredible! WOW!! How lucky you were!

Maybe you would know this, then..........Like previous commenters on this video have said, Wolfgang and Louis magically switch places at 1:38. I've always wondered why- my only theory is that they gave more than one performance that day, and parts of both were combined to make that clip. Did they in fact perform more than once? You're in both parts, with Wolfgang on the left AND on the right, so that does make some sense-

I'm only visible from the back...

I sit in the front row on the left side in the picture, the girl with long ginger hair.
