Then there's the legendary EDM song L'Amour Toujours, the "far-right anthem" for European patriots.

Munich’s Oktoberfest to ban Italian disco hit co-opted by far right

The managers of Munich’s Oktoberfest have said they will seek to ban an Italian disco hit from being played at the world’s most famous beer festival after its hijacking by far-right revellers.

In recent months the schmaltzy love lyrics of L’amour Toujours, a catchy 2001 hit by Italian DJ Gigi D’Agostino, have repeatedly been drowned out at public gatherings by a Nazi slogan: “Germany for the Germans, foreigners out”.

Last week footage from the elite German party island of Sylt showing people singing the racist version of the song went viral, causing a wave of outrage and a string of lawsuits.

May 31 (Reuters) - The Austrian FA (OEFB) will no longer use the song 'L'amour toujours' when the national team plays as it has been misused by far-right sympathisers, the country's media reported on Friday.

The song was previously played as a stadium anthem after goals from Ralf Rangnick's Austria side, but the OEFB will remove it from the playlist.

Germany: Racist chants reported in Erlangen after Sylt video

 

05/26/2024May 26, 2024

Two revelers at a festival in Bavaria were heard chanting "Foreigners out!" to the tune of "L'amour toujours," police said, just days after a video of several youths doing the same in Sylt surfaced on social media.

Two off-duty police officers reported hearing racist chants while attending the Bergkirchweih festival in Erlangen, Bavaria, German authorities say. According to the police statement, the officers noticed two men, aged 21 and 26, were yelling "Foreigners out!" while the song "L'amour toujours" was playing in one of the festival venues on Friday evening.

(...)

The latest incident comes only days after a viral video which showed several young people chanting the same slogan to the same tune in an expensive restaurant in Sylt, an island resort in northern Germany. At least one of the youths in the Sylt video is giving the Hitler salute with his fingers on his upper lip to mimic the Hitler moustache.

The video caused uproar across the country. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and other top political leaders condemned the Sylt incident, with Scholz decrying the chants as "disgusting" and "unacceptable."

The comment section for the official video is still turned off because so many people left pro-white messages.

Here are some videos of Germans chanting Deutschland den Deutschen - Ausländer raus! ("Germany for the Germans - foreigners (get) out!") to L’amour Toujours:

“Döp dödö döp”: How to get rid of Gigi D'Agostino's Sylt scandal catchy tune

 

Xenophobic chants to the party hit are causing a stir across the country. Even those who didn't know the song before can't get it out of their heads. We're here to help.

I don't know about you, but the song that is the basis of the Sylt state affair is currently screwing itself into my ears with all its might. It's funny because I hadn't even heard the song anymore - I must have heard it before, but long since forgotten it. But now that "L'amour toujours" is being forced upon you in public, you can't help but react in some way. So you go to YouTube and, out of curiosity, listen again to the song that the Italian DJ and music producer Gigi D'Agostino released in 2001 as the fifth and final single from his second studio album.

Of course, D'Agostino had no idea what would be made of it at German village festivals and graduation parties since October 2023 - a different lyric with a xenophobic slogan.

There's only one thing that helps - the catchy tune has to go! Music physiologists recommend several strategies in this context. Chewing gum is said to help because the chewing motion interrupts the inner singing. But you can also sing: of course not the song that caused the catchy tune, but a different one.

This strategy has actually helped me. Whenever "L'amour toujours" approaches my brain, when the nasty "Döp dödö döp" tries to take over my head, I immediately counteract it with Scooter. And there are a few other ideas that we would like to present to you here if you are also looking for an anti-earworm. Good luck and happy singing along!

RIP Iryna Zarutska, black fatigue is real

It says that there are 10 users who have posted in this thread, and yet I only see me here, and, like, one or two other people. Where are the rest? Why aren't their posts showing up? I see lots of newly-registered members viewing this thread all the time, which is perfectly understandable since this is by far the hottest thread on the forum.

P.S. The "Last Post" button doesn't work. It's supposed to take me to the last page of this thread, but when I press it, it only takes me to the first one.
