Cool. I haven't got around to processing the soundtrack on that one yet anyway.

I've got quite a bit of military band/march music archived that I've collected over the years (I presume some of it will be banned in a few countries).

I found it amongst that.

Could you by any chance upload it somewhere so I could get it because it's a good song. :hmm:

No problem....PM me and I'll attend to it in the morning.

Remember, it is military band music....there are no lyrics.

I would be interested in obtaining these versions. I sent you an email but it came back as undeliverable. Is that the correct email address? Thanks.

The song, "So leben wir", seems to grab just about everyone who has ever seen "The Enemy Below".

The tune is a German march from the first decades of the 18th Century, entitled "Der alte Dessauer" ("The Old Man from Dessau"). The "Old Man" himself was Leopold I, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau, who was a general under the first three Hohenzollern Kings of Prussia and was a celebrated drillmaster of the Prussian Army. A reasonably accurate biography of him is on Wikipedia, as is also an article on the march itself under the title "Der alte Dessauer".

The tune became known by Leopold's army nickname because he brought it back from his campaigns in Italy, where he had apparently heard it as a folk tune (something that happened a century and a half later with the celebrated Scottish pipe tune, "The Green Hills of Tyrol"). Leopold ordered his musicians to play it and it became his "signature tune", and so was linked in the popular mind with his identity. It is still part of the German Army's standard repertoire.


The German lyrics "So leben wir alle Tage" ("So we live every day"), set to this tune, are an 18th-Century student drinking song. The two verses (with the first verse repeated) may be found by doing an internet search on the words "So leben wir alle Tage". The English lyrics used in the movie were written for that production by the composer of the movie's soundtrack and are more an expression of the attitude expressed in the original than they are a translation of its words.
