OK, so I listen to a lot of Neue Deutsche Härte (aka, industrial German metal), like Rammstein, Eisbrecher, and Oomph!
There’s this Eisbrecher song called “This is Deutsch”, whose lyrics are a sort of satirical paean to stereotypical German culture…ie., godly, hard-working, efficient, militaristic, etc.
Just so you can get a taste of this song’s character:
OK, now here’s my question: What does “Court-Brewery and the Show with the Mouse” mean?? See bolded lyrics, below. I assume that “Court-Brewery” could refer to the Beer Hall Putsch or something, but I’m totally lost on “the Show with the Mouse”.
Well, it’s a brewery that used to deliver to the royal court, so I guess it’s probably a source of better quality beer. There are a number of them in Germany, but which one the reference is to I can’t tell.
From the perspective of a Dutch viewer, “die Sending mit der Maus” (“the broadcast with the mouse”) were short cartoons during the commercials on German public television.
That answered it perfectly, thanks!
