Dear lowlanders!

Here are some other online samples of spoken Low Saxon / Low German. This
"youtube" thing is phantastic . The number of samples is growing dayly.

1. A Plautdietsch scoring of the "Wild Rover" called "Derche Kontinente"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WtjdduP1hBw

Maybe the lyrics can be found on: http://plautcast.com/
(I didn't, probably you have to log in)


2. "De Wind vun Hamborg" by Ina Müller (I think I've seen here before on TV,
didn't know she's singing op Platt)

Lyrics I tried to find on
http://www.105music.com/ina/cm_standard_123/site/modules/index.php
(I didn't find ...)


3. And last but not least: "Fettes Brot" (A pretty well known pop-group in
the German speaking countries) are singing alternately in Low German, German
and English.

I think Low German is notedly fit for this kind of music, isn't it?

Hah! I found the lyrics. On a swiss-german (!) page:

Enjoy if you can!

I did!

Yours
Karl-Heinz

I see, I forgot the links for Ina Müller and Fettes Brot. Here they are (if
you didn't find them anyway):

Karl-Heinz, I mentioned Ina Müller once before, but that may have been
before you joined us:

Folks,

Here's an example of a relatively young performer regularly using Low Saxon
(Low German) in her work.  It's Ina Müller (http://www.inamueller.de).  She
was born and raised in Köhlen, near Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe
river.

Müller -- one half of the team Queen Bee, which apparently has now done its
last buzzing --integrates Low Saxon portions with her stand-up routines,
most of which fall into the spoof category, spin her alleged everyday
experiences into far-away realms of absurdity (not unlike in the
Yiddish-rooted vaudeville comedy tradition).  Her routines, like her
published writings, are delivered with large pinches of chutzpah and
irreverence, oftentimes poking fun at men (and the women that aim to please
them) who haven't quite made it to the 21st century, especially as far as
women are concerned.

Anyway, at her website (page: http://www.inamueller.de/platt_nachlesen.html)
there's a written portion as well as a longish audio snippet from one of her
shows: "Platt is nich uncool":
http://www.inamueller.de/audio/ina_mueller_nicole.ram (RealAudio)
http://www.inamueller.de/audio/ina_mueller_nicole.mp3 (MP3)

Notice (if you can) her code switching: German, almost-Missingsch and Low
Saxon.  (Those of you who are new to this need to listen several times,
because the delivery is rather fast.)

Enjoy!
Reinhard/Ron

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
