10 Apr 06 - 12:20 AM (#1714233) Subject: Lyr Add: MEIN HUT, DER HAT DREI ECKEN From: Joe Offer Hi, Baffled - I think it was a standard in first-year German class: Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken, Drei Ecken hat mein Hut; Und hätt er nicht drei Ecken Dann wäre er auch nicht mein Hut. My hat, it has three corners, Three corners has my hat; And had it not three corners, Then it would not be my hat. Brings back old memories. I think it was 1963 that I learned that song, as a sophomore in high school in Milwaukee. Where'd you hear it? -Joe Offer- |

The dialect of those lyrics is reserved to the current season, mainly used in remote areas of the USA, Canada, Australia etc.. The native speakers wear plastic Tyrol hats, drink a yellow fermented sauce and perform their Aboriginal dances on tables and chairs ... |

20 Sep 10 - 01:32 PM (#2990375) Subject: RE: Meaning: Mine hoot dare hut dry acken From: Wolfgang Long before Paganini played variations of that tune and called them "Carnival of Venice" this was known as "O cara mama mia", a folksong from Northern Italy. But without Paganini, the tune may never have become so well known that several German lyrics have been pinned to it. In addition to "Mein Hut der hat drei Ecken" I know Ein Mops kam in die Küche und stahl dem Koch ein Ei, da nahme der Koch den Löffel und schlug den Mops entzwei. Da kamen viele Möpse und gruben ihm ein Grab und setzen drauf ein Grabstein, darauf geschrieben stand: Restart with verse 1 (an example of a never ending song, one could drive parents or scoutmasters to despair by doing this) Or: Mein Schatz, der heißt Pauline und dem bin ich so gut und wenn ich was verdiene so kauf ich ihr ´nen Hut. David Garrett playing variations to O cara mamma mia Wolfgang |

It is roughly a German equivalent to Maids when you're young never wed an old man only much more explicit. Wolfgang |

20 Sep 10 - 04:35 PM (#2990465) Subject: RE: Meaning: Mine hoot dare hut dry acken From: GUEST,German I think "GUEST,baffled", back in '06, was well aware that he was quoting from a phonetic oktoberfest songbook, and wanted to test whether he could fool us (in particular Investigator Seppl Angebot). What, then, could be funnier than an oktoberfest in Canberra, ACT, with genuine First Australians and New Australians of all providences wearing green Chinese plastic hats for 2 A$? To be sure, those books are now sold in Munich as well, also printed in Japanese Katakana script. The Phoenicians once stood at the cradle of written communication, here we see it being drowned in beer. BTW: The German text about the three-pointed hat has its history as well, google it if you're interested. Prost! |
