Description
Sequence based on three 19th Century Viennese songs, interspersed with original yodels
1. O theures Erbsien + Jodel
("Erbsien" was a prison in Vienna, named after the principal food of the
prisoners (Erbsen = peas) - despite its upbeat character it is in fact a moralistic
song advising listeners to avoid crime and thereby avoid prison.
The same tune is also found as a students' drinking song: which came first, I wonder?
2. Servicerl + Jodel
A celebration of drinking and courting.
3. Mein Nachbarin und I + Jodel
A song about getting on well with the widow next door....
