Link to the picture |
The title of the song also refers to the herbal liqueur called Jägermeister . The manufacturer's logo shows the head of a deer, surrounded by a wreath with oak leaves and a glowing cross between the rungs of its antlers. The caricature on the front cover of the single release Ten Little Jägermeisters by Herbert Druschke is based on this trademark. It shows a red Jolly Roger holding a joint between his teeth, against a dark green background on a yellow circle. The oak leaves were replaced by two guitars.
text
Ten little Jägermeister is like the template a counting story . It begins with the introduction: "A little Jägermeister didn't like to be alone, so he invited nine Jägermeisters to Christmas". The song is divided into three stanzas with six lines each. The rhymes appear at the end of each line, sometimes impure, in pairs or alternately.
From the initial ten people, three “Jägermeisters” disappear in each stanza for various reasons. The first can not tolerate the consumption of marijuana , the second is killed by the others because he has material goods, and the third is lost because he takes the exit to Cologne and does not go to Düsseldorf with the others . The fourth is stopped by her husband on a rendezvous with a woman, the fifth is jailed for tax evasion and the sixth is removed from circulation during a police check. The seventh Jägermeister dies in the army from alcohol poisoning , the eighth falls ill with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease and the ninth is deported under German asylum law .
The refrain after the first verse reads:
One for all, all for one,
when one is gone, who is going to cry?
Once it hits everyone, don't get angry,
that's life, you or me.
It is extended by four lines in the repetition after the second and third stanzas.
Everyone has to go once
and if your heart breaks,
the world will not end of that -
don't get angry!
In the coda the last line of the refrain is repeated again and with the last sentence: “A little Jägermeister didn't like being alone, that's why he invited nine new masters to Easter.” The story has an open ending.
