[edit] Lyrics
Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder
Bommerlunder eisgekühlt
Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder
Bommerlunder eisgekühlt
und dazu
Ein belegtes Brot mit Schinken
(yelled) Schinken!
Ein belegtes Brot mit Ei
(yelled) Ei!
Das sind zwei belegte Brote
Eins mit Schinken, eins mit Ei
und dazu ...
This is then repeated over and over, each time the singer reaches "und dazu" the song is sung quicker, and higher, until they can't sing anymore.
[edit] Translation
roughly translated, the lyrics are:
Ice cold Bommerlunder(a type of schnapps)
Bommerlunder ice cold
(repeat)
and with it
one sandwich with ham
ham!
one sandwich with egg
egg!
those are two sandwiches, one with ham and one with egg
and with them
etc.
[edit] Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder in pop-culture
A very famous German punk band, Die Toten Hosen, played a notable version of the song, which was recorded live, and put on one of their live albums. In 1983, Fab Five Freddy produced a Hip Hop version of "Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder" called "Hip Hop Bommi Bop" together with Die Toten Hosen which is said to be the very first co-production of Punk and Hip Hop. The single was released with a tiny bottle of Bommerlunder included in the packaging.
