Wonderful! Im off to get a beer

I've been getting some profane comments from the Bud Light crowd lately about this video. This is a traditional German beer drinking song recorded at a medieval restaurant in the former east German. Please appreciate it for what it is: fun moment fueled with real beer without the need for sound amplication.

Thought this was a rehearsal for 'Men Without Hats' ! Apparently, Martin Luther liked his late night drinking sessions so much, he had to move the time of the Lutheran Chuch's Morning Service from 9.00a.m. to 10.00a.m., as the beer from the previous night was still holding him down in his bed.

Not really Medieval, the song is named :Glück auf, Glück auf, der Steiger kommt

@MrWhitneytraylor Eisenach would be excellent setting for fiction. The city, located a couple hundred miles south of Berlin, is as important to German culture as Boston is to American independence. It is the birthplace to Martin Luther, who took refuge at Wartburg Castle on a hill above the city. The seeds of Germany unification were sown in 19th assemblies in its Great Hall. St. Elizabeth of Hungary, who lived in the castle in the 11th century, inspired the Legend of the Rose Miracle. Jim.

Has there ever been a clip about Germany on YouTube without vicious comments about war and whatever?
