I have several of thier recordings installed to SH3.
And they come from the land of the 'Ferret'!

Personally .... I have my crew [U-51] do this on the deck after a successful attack [preferably in full view of enemy]. Seems to do the trick :O:

All you guys living 70 years in the future...

I never have anything on my gramophone they couldn't have heard at the time. :sunny:

Well I would like to be the first to admit to being schooled on this one. Certainly my bad. I should have researched it better. I made the classic error of assumption as to the age and origin of the chicken dance polka. Sailor Steve is right. Below is an excerpt from the info I found on the origin of The Chicken Dance Polka:

Quote:

... The Chicken Dance Polka was written in the late 1950s by Werner Thomas, a Swiss-German restaurateur and accordion player from the municipality of Davos who also tended a flock of ducks and geese. He started performing the song at his restaurant in 1963 at the age of 71 years. After noticing that people were moving to the quirky and catchy melody, he named it "Der Ententanz," or "Duck Dance.

I had always thought it was an old German Polka, Foiled again!
I, like Sailor Steve, try to keep everything on my Gramaphone and radio stations and such to period music. (as well as only playing those things I try to imagine they would have actually listened to, biffed it on this one.)

[Still fun to do and rub salt in the enemys wounds though. :D]

**Edit**
Afterthought comment on vid:

Those guys are quite the technicians eh? :har:

Seriously though, this is one of my "Killing Tunes" I play while on the hunt.

Bonus: It is period. Following is info on period and composer:

Quote:

"O Fortuna" is a medieval Latin Goliardic poem composed early in the thirteenth century, part of the collection known as the Carmina Burana. It is a complaint about fate, and Fortuna, a goddess in Roman mythology and personification of luck.
In 1935/36 "O Fortuna" was set to music by the German composer Carl Orff for his cantata Carmina Burana. It is the most famous piece and opens and closes the cycle.

For the crew of U-126 and me Lili Marlen will do the job!
We love this song!
