Yes, there are these surveys, what is someone’s favorite word. Ulrich Maly recently took part in the Nuremberg News the “incompetence compensation competence” (IKK, not to be confused with AKK) brought into play, a creation supposedly by the jack-of-all-trades Hermann Glaser, but probably more by the philosopher Odo Marquard, no matter, in any case it is in fact difficult to top. On the other hand, the IKK is so completely into the musical, incidentally similar to the short of breath “Allmächd”, which the Franconian is likely to have taken to the hearts of the majority.
Quite different, not at all unmusical, is that with the “Wärschtlamo”. Recently, people have dreamed of Paolo Conte, probably because a documentary in the cinema is dedicated to this casual poet under the Italian sun these days. In his dream, Conte performed one of his greatest songs on the piano, he was sitting in the open air in Siena and always performed only one line of verse, in flowing Upper Franconian: “Warm up tlamo, warm up tlamo, ta-dah-tah, warm-up tlamo, oh oh , I love it. “
In the original this line is called “Happy feet, happy feet, ta-dah-tah” and so on. What you had eaten the night before shouldn’t play a role here, in any case it wasn’t original Wärschtla, because it’s only available in Hof and there only from Mo, who is also allowed to be a woman, Hofer is not so gender-centered there. It is only relevant that the Wärschtla person has knackwurst and Viennese sausages on offer and his potentially portable Wärschtla box made of brass with charcoal grate a little to Sempf, Bredla and the saying: “Haaß senn sa – kolt wern sa.“
It is a scandal that UNESCO did not have the Wärschtlamo on its radar as a world heritage site in its anniversary year – the first mobile sausage supplier made its rounds in Hof in 1871. It would now be all the more urgent that the government of Upper Franconia finally gives in to Hofer’s pressure and approves the warm-up t-shirts. The city stands behind the plan like a Mo, after all, there are already funny regional traffic light heroes almost everywhere, Otto Waalkes, “Father and Son”, Augsburger Puppenkiste, the full program.
And what if nothing comes of it? Then you would have to ask for a support concert. Paolo Conte?
