content

The three- verse Schunkellied tells simple stories from everyday life: A father speeds around the corner in his new car. It almost collided with another vehicle. The family calls: Ui-jui-jui-au-au-au .... The bricklayers take a break on a new building, a girl strolls by, the construction workers call: Ui-jui-jui-au-au-au. ... A young and not very solvent couple becomes parents, the young father only replies: Ui-jui-jui-au-au-au ....

background

The song was written during a trip to the United States during which a group of Mainz Fastnights took part in the Steuben Parade in New York City with a float. The Ui-jui-jui-jui-jui is said to have originated during excursions by coach, especially during risky overtaking maneuvers . The song, especially the refrain, developed into a classic of the Mainz Carnival and far beyond. It can be heard in hand-made speeches and is usually intoned by the audience, after particularly malicious or particularly flat or good punchlines. To de-escalate the mood, the court orchestra puts a clear end to it, otherwise the time management of the session will be blown up.

publication

The song was released in 1969 and 1970 on a single record with the music label Polydor .
