this songs intriguing

Hoffmann, Felix (Aarau, Switzerland, 1911-1975). Snippet from Joggeli Wott Go Birli Schüttle : Neui Bilder Zum Alte Värs 4. Aarau: Verlag Sauerländer, 1963. This children's book in Romansh language is about a progressively intensifying series of obstacles encountered in a quest to pick pears. I appreciate the canine representation.

ARD put the jumpers up to play a little game (something that's often played at weddings and such), called "Him or Me". They have to choose between them who fits the question better.

Here's what they're saying throughout the video:

Pius: Hands up or pointing at the other.

Andi: Eyes closed?

Karl: Eyes closed, that’s great.

(Question 1: Who’s the better dancer?)

Karl: No one wants to see that.

Stephan: Schützenfest (I don't know if that's a thing outside Germany? It's like a fair/festival featuring shooting competitions. (And (heavy) drinking and dancing at night.). And a dance course.

(Question 2: For whom are rituals more important?)

Markus: Both

Karl: Oh, yes, that’s tricky.

Pius: One haircut a week, before the competition. Quick hairdo, that’s important for under that helmet.

(Question 3: Who’s got more luggage when travelling?)

Philipp:  I always bring so much stuff.

Consti: Yeah, me.

Philipp: I always think I need something for every situation. The classic, two spare pants and then everything else as well.

Eisei: Something shit… (inaudible)

Karl: I  don’t know but my bag is always so heavy. And I don’t know how to declutter

Eisei: (something inaudible) a bit neatness from me…
