Day watch (song)
Tagwache (in the original Tagwache (Lü lü Marleen) , cf. Lili Marleen ) is the title of a song by the Austrian songwriter Wolfgang Ambros . It dates from 1973 and was banned from broadcasting in Austria that same year because of its critical content. In the course of the NATO retrofitting debate, the song caused a stir in the music scene because of an allusion to the then incumbent Defense Minister Karl Lütgendorf ( Lü lü ).
After the records were taken from the shelves, the song was not released again until 1983 on the album Open Air , which Ambros had recorded at a concert with Rainhard Fendrich . The renewed live version contained an allusion to the then Defense Minister of the Red-Blue Coalition, Friedhelm Frischenschlager .
The song was composed by Wolfgang Ambros, the text by Joesi Prokopetz , who had already written Da Hofa .
