The Romantic Circle Praxis Series article on "The Star" that Dicho linked us to halfway up the thread mentions another German text that I don't think has been brought up here: "Ist das nicht ein Schnitzelbank?" But I think the tune of Ist das nicht ein Schnitzelbank is not close enough to call it the same tune. Surprised to see ingeb.org doesn't list this ridiculous drinking song among the innumerable Deutsche Volkslieder.
