Ok, thats it, gonna delete SHIII from my computer !!!

[Drebbel]

Was just under the shower and whistling a song.

Suddenly I realized it was the song of the SHIII Harbour Band.


I am lost !!!!!! :stare:

He is Dutch... so believe me he KNOWS!!!

Man, that IS pretty bad! Now make sure you wear all orange today as punishment!
:rotfl:

[Type941]

Singing Deutsche Uber Alles in the shower? :hmm: AND you are not German? :huh:

[enigma-e]

I am a German, and believe me: The very very very very last thing I would whistle in the shower (or anyplace else) would be the German National Anthem! :roll:

[McBeck]

Well, Drebbel has allway been....a bit "off"

[Alyebard]

:rotfl:
sing your national anthem under the shower during a month as a punismen !!! :rotfl:

[Gizzmoe]

I am a German, and believe me: The very very very very last thing I would whistle in the shower (or anyplace else) would be the German National Anthem! :roll:

I agree, it totally sucks... :)

But I´m 99.9% sure that Drebbel meant "Muß i' denn zum Städtele hinaus" and not our lousy anthem.

[Alyebard]

:yep:

Muß i denn, muß i denn zurn Städtele 'naus
Städtele 'naus, und du, mein Schatz bleibst hier?

:up:

Deutchland uber alles (version 1933-1945) :nope:

[Gizzmoe]

Deutchland uber alles (version 1933-1945) :nope:

There is no "Nazi Germany" version of the German anthem, the forbidden "Deutschland über alles" part is much older.

[Stealth Elephant]

I'm researching a story about Erich Hartmann, the number one air ace in history, at work lately. I was JUST noticing yesterday that, without fail, every time I am reading about anything German I hear "Deutschland Uber Alles" in my head, plain as day.

Is there something wrong with me?

[c0sm1c]

LMAO Drebbel

When my wife asked me to do something - I responded by clicking my heels saying ... "YAWOHL ! Herr Kaleun!"

:lost:


BTW can an Über modder change what the band play

I want Feuer Frei by Rammstein :smug:

[SmokinTep]

I had that song stuck in my head for a while also.

I beleived that german anthem dated back XVIII century, but during nazi era the lyrics were changed, maybe i was brong.

[Duncan Idaho]

Yup, yup. You need serious therapy. Or a few beers. I can't quite figure out which... ;)

[Gizzmoe]

The melody is from the 18th century, the text from the middle of the 19th. The Nazis never changed the lyrics.

Thanks !

[Type941]

I'm very used to the german anthem and hearing it for the first time in port, i didn't really connect the dots... And than it hit me!


see, I'm a Formula1 fan, and anyone following that for the last 10 years would have heard the german anthem courtesy of Herr Schumacher pretty regularly. :rotfl:

[Shadow9216]

I think you can change the music by saving a new file as "fanfare01.wav" or whatever. Might be interesting to see what people would choose.

[Dobby-the-House-Elf]

Sorry, not quite true. The original tune was composed by Joseph Haydn in 1797. But it was then not the German, but the Austria-Hungarian national anthem ("Gott erhalt uns Franz den Kaiser" translated "may God sustain our emperor Franz"). It stayed so until 1918 when the Austrian-Hungarian empire came to an end.

Only after this the anthem was adapted by Germany and the lyrics changed to "Deutschland über alles".

Btw. the lyrics of the german version remain unchanged to this very day, there was nothing changed to it by the nazis. Only the third verse is illegal today as this particular verse describes the extension of the (former) german borders, including areas that belong to France and Poland today (hence the ban), but again these were the effective borders prior to ww2 and way older than the nazi movement.

Cheers

the "deutschlandlied" has three strophes(?!?), and the now tainted, "nazi strophe" is the first one. the original meaning of "deutschland uber alles" is not refering to waging a war, and dwarfing all other people around us. it refered to a united germany, under one flag. the germany as we know it, was formed out of many regional smaller states, principalities and so on. this is the original aim of the appeal germany uber alles. kind of a germany first thing.

Yes, it became the German anthem after WW1, but von Fallersleben wrote the original text (three verses), including the "Deutschland über alles" part in 1841.

Only the third verse is illegal today

The first verse is illegal, the third verse is the official German anthem.

[Dobby-the-House-Elf]

Yes, I stand corrected :up:

Absolutely!!
arnt ya glad to know that you are not alone! :D

[Stealth Elephant]

Yesterday morning as I was going through my routine (shower, brushing of the teeth, etc.) I was whistling/humming it vaguely, and then it hit me. I can completely identify with the maker of this thread.

I'd be kind of worried if my roommate heard me, but then I'm fairly certain he would not recognize the tune!

[Kafka]

Aye mates, for one, I've been singing and whistling It's a long way to Tipperary for the last two weeks.... serious mental condition :-?

Same here and I always sing "Deutschland Deutschland uber alles..." along with the anthem for the podium ceremony :oops:

Mind you I've enjoyed humming the French album this season - makes a pleasant change :D

BTW, I think the in game version sounds terrible - I always remain below decks until they're out of earshot.

[Stymnus]

Yeah, I've downloaded a lot of available files from the download section here, and converted most of them to .ogg files.

Of course a lot of them get stuck in my head now...particularly some of the most nazi-ish. I should be very disturbed...

I think it's just because they are catchy tunes. They were meant to be -- they were propaganda.

[FritzHeinz]

I think Drebbel is playing RUb, so in stead of the German anthem (that any Formule 1 viewer will know by now) he must mean the 'Erzherzog-Albrecht-Marsch' that is also played in 'Das Boot' when they return in the harbour.

I must say, it's a catchy tune :-j (and less provocative then the German Anthem)

[Duncan Idaho]

I've had a few of those Gramaphone songs get stuck in my head, this one for the last 3 weeks in fact:

Flieger, grüß mir die Sonne

That's a great song right there! Probably my favorite of all of them.

I also like these two a lot:

Kammeraden auf See
Der erste Seelord

[CCIP]

For some reason when I'm out shopping, I always have the weird urge to start humming the Horst Wessel Lied. And I do.

No, I mean, seriously :huh:

Attention please:
There is no Nazi Germany variant AND no part of Deutschlandlied is forbidden.
Only the third part is played since 1951 as national anthem, but ALL parts were official anthem till 1991. Since then only the third.

I don't think this is hard-core at all. A true hard-core SHIII kaleun would stand under the shower just long enough to get wet, turn the water off, soap & lather, and then turn the water on long enough to wash the soap off. That, and no "hot water" cheating, either!

When I first played SH3 I knew exactly what the tune was they were playing. I'm not German, either. Like you, I am a big F1 fan. Up until this season, I was hearing the German anthem every other week! :rotfl:

[GT182]

Dobby-the-House-Elf, Burning Bridges would be a good one to use. LOL

For some strange reason I hear that in my head all the time. OOOps, I just finished watching the movie. :rotfl: But I still like it better than the anthem now playing dockside. ;)
