Zigzag zigzag hoi hoi hoi
Bitch bitch jag jag hoi hoi hoi is a rallying cry that under fair lad , in carnival , in sports and otherwise in the joint consumption of alcohol as a drinking song is used.
The call is usually carried out as an alternating song between the leader and the group. The leader calls out: Zicke zag zicke zag! and the group replies: Hoi hoi hoi! , too Hey, hey, hey! , Hey , Hey , Hey, and originally probably hay, hay, hay! ( Typical corruption for soldiers : Leader: What does the cow eat, what does the cow shit? - Group: hay, hay, hay! ).
The background should be the saying Zicke Zacke , which was already practiced in Prussia . The Zicke Zacke, Infanterie was set to music by Herms Niel in 1935 for the Wehrmacht . Excerpts from the text of this song were processed by Wolfgang Borchert in “This Tuesday” as Zicke Zacke juppheidi. The (German) infantry is dashing .
Also in 1935, the book was published for the Hitler Youth of Trude Sand entitled bitch jag Country Year Heil! Life, doings, deeds and adventures of the boys and girls in the country year (Stuttgart: Union 1935). That the triple reputation was already widespread in the 1930s is proven by a report by Rudi Frohloff in the “Heimatblatt der former Kirchengemeinden Landsberg / Warthe Stadt und Land” from June 2006. Henri Nannen also reported that the title of his youth magazine Zick Zack , published in 1948, had too reminiscent of the zicke zag zicke zack hoi hoi hoi common among the Hitler Youth .
Between 1999 and 2003 this call was used as a drinking song on the American television program The Man Show with Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Carolla , but with the incorrect pronunciation "ziggy socky ziggy socky hoy hoy hoy!"
