This is a funny song from Steiermark, a part of Austria. Since there was no other entertainment, people used to go to a “Wirtshaus” (a simple pub located in rural areas), drank, danced, and sang together. In Austria, grape juice that is just starting to ferment is called “Most” (cider; “Federweißer” in Germany). Thus, this drink is only available in autumn. In this song, the cuckoo calls once in the first strophe, twice in the second one, three times in the third one, etc. (guggu instead of cuckoo). If one of the persons singing doesn’t count correctly and makes a mistake, he or she has to pay for a round of wine. In this song, we used the so called “Überschlag” for the alto recorder in the yodeling part of the second and third strophe. This “Überschlag” was orinigally an improvised “second voice” which is unlike in most cases higher than the main voice (mostly by a third).
