▶ I'm going to be a hipster for a moment. I was into yodeling before The Gregory Brothers found Takeo Ischi -- and because of his song "New Bibi-Hendl", too! 😸

🐾 After discovering that song, however, I decided to look into more yodel music and promptly found the music of Franzl Lang. This was back in, like... I don't know. But, again, to really embrace my inner (and sometimes outer) hipster, some of you people might be aware of the original version of this song as it was recently used in a Door Dash (I think) commercial. I started working on this remix about a year before that commercial aired and I found the song years before that. If you're interested, I definitely recommend listing to the original! It, and Franzl Lang himself, has such a positive energy that, even though it's in a different language, I can feel the joy he feels in yodeling! Especially in his song "Wenn ich jodle, bin ich glücklich"~

🐾 I was deeply saddened to learn that he passed away before I was able to experience his music. I would have wanted to extend a massive "Danke schön" for making such delightfully enjoyable music. In remixing this song (and any song, for that matter), I needed to learn what key it was in, meaning I had to learn how to play it. If you listen closely (also noticeable later when the vocals disappear), there is a *synthesizer playing the vocal melody* alongside the vocals. I learned how to transcribe the main yodeling sections by ear, which was a challenge in itself. After that, I had to figure out how I wanted the remix to go, and, honestly, I didn't want to make it too intense or anything too... whatever the hell riddim is. So I settled upon a more subtle techno/house/dance/whatever this is to keep the song lively and bumping.

*Note on the captions: When adding the captions, I wanted to make sure I got the lyrics correct. I am not German nor do I have any (immediate) background in German or Bavarian. In order to ensure that I got the lyrics correct, I copy and pasted them from Genius into Google translate and cross-referenced them with the lyrics available on Spotify. There were some differences between the two, and a lot of the words weren't translating from German to English leading me to believe those were Bavarian in origin. I wanted to ensure those words were correct and not more inconsistencies as I have already found some so I listened intently to the song and tried to surmise my own possible transcription from what little I know about the German language.

Lyrics (as I heard/understood them):
Auf und auf voll Lebenslust
Und voll Übermut
Keinen Kummer in der Brust
Und 's jauche im Blut

Auf und auf, was kost die Welt?
Heut' kehrt mir da tag
Denn es hat sich herausgestellt
Dass mi as Leben mog!

Auf und auf voll Lustigkeit
Rundum voller Freid
Nir war mir mei Herz so weit
So voll Seligkeit

Auf und auf, i woas ned wia
Wia von oben glickt
Heut' hob i mei Herz wie nir
An die Weit verglückt
