“The Sound of Music: Director’s Cut” with ten minutes of Vikings cut from the original.

Viking: “Ya, I give you needle pulling thread, alright, boo-ha!”
Austrian, in outfit made of drapery: “Arrrgh.”
etc.

*hehe* just imagine those vikings singing and plundering. More metal than a Norwegian pacemaker, for sure!

I love the sound of music. I just watched it again last week. plus the dvd has all these extras, like a tourist plug for salzburg that the oldest girl in the family made while she was there, and some behind the scenes stuff and all that. It rocks.

Sew, a needle pulling threaaaaaaaaad…

And Austria was invaded by Sweden a long time ago. So ultimately it can be attributed to them.

come to think of it: it’s probably the Habsburg domination thing that did that to us.

In Belgium on the other hand, we sing before lunch and after, we sing in traffic and before the workday starts. Belgium is the singing nation, especially after some beers. Which reminds me: Belgian beer rocks, d00d :)

Well, in the US I was in the church choir for a while as a lad. and in school for a year or two. but no one I know sings now, in the US, but for one blogger. That I know of. Here, on the other hand, I know several people who are fairly seriously into choir singing, one in the St. Stephen’s Cathedral choir in Vienna (no idea if that is a big deal) and several in the town near us. Beta sings in the choir at school. I’m really not sure how Austria compares to other countries social singing-wise… I can say that I’ve never seen anyone else playing the tin whistle at traffic lights here, besides myself.

Hot little nuns, heh.
And if they’re not lined up in time, I summon them all with my shrill little whistle.

Rumor has it that Austria is one of the few places in Europe where people sing more than Swedish people do. I like a culture of social singing, it’s a bit charming and sometimes a bit kitch, but all in all quite pleasing.
