#Rolf Zuckowski

[german-enthusiast]

I'm having a hard time right now, mentally, but social media recently reminded me of Rolf Zuckowski, a German musician who has written SO many songs for kids with amazing messages.

One of his most famous, and one that makes me cry just about every time I hear it lately, is

"Ich schaff das schon" (engl.: I can do it")

It's about a child named Maike and the challenges she faces over the course of her life, and her realization in difficult times, that she is able to overcome those challenges.

The chorus is this:

"Ich schaff das schon, ich schaff das schon

(I can do it, I can do it)

Ich schaff das ganz alleine

(I can do it all by myself)

Ich komm bestimmt, ich komm bestimmt

(I'll surely get, I'll surely get)

Auch wieder auf die Beine

(Back on my feet)

Ich brauch dazu, ich brauch dazu

(I might need, I might need)

Vielleicht 'ne Menge Kraft

(A lot of strength for that)

Doch ich hab immerhin

(But after all I have)

Schon ganz was anderes geschafft"

(already been able to do other (harder) things"

It is, I'm almost certain, my favorite kids song, and I recommend it to everyone everyone everyone, in hard time and good times.

well then, I guess here's Tabaluga and K. Ro- I mean Arktos LMFAO as a fun little tribute to the original series that spawned an actual fun 3D movie ...

DKC cartoons' K. Rool voice friggin sang "I Am The Devil in White" and it sounds exactly as cruel you might expect

My Tabaluga OC Character Ref +Lilli cause my brain be a mess. May start posting fanart of this franchise while posting my Balan comic.

I have my own revival AU for the show after I had my little binge, God I have a problem! Both ladies coexist in this AU, plus I wanted to give Lilli a more prominent role cause the show did NOT do her ANY justice!

May have more info on my revival AU later, feel free to ask questions if you like.

Until then, hope ya like it

Hello again on the fifth day of our advent calendar. With a song that must be played LOUD.

As a german, i chose one of our classics (sorta). A song for children and grown ups, who still have the heart of a child.

Die Weihnachtsbäckerei.

The Christmas Bakery -

slightly upbeat (with a short intro of 25 seconds...)

If case you need a translation -here it is:

Chorus. In the christmas bakery

there are some tasty treats.

Between flour and milk

there's always some rascal who makes a real big mess.

In the christmas bakery.

Where did the recipe go?

Of the cookies that we love so?

Who abducted the recipe?

Well then we have to get it right

just making a rough guess.

Heat the oven

and then...

Chorus.

Don't we need chocolate,

honey, nuts and succade

and a little cinnamon?

That's right!

Mix the butter, flour and milk.

try in between

and then the egg comes: (watch

out – missed!)

Chorus.

Please step aside

because we need space for

kneading.

Are the fingers clean?

You pig!

Are the cookies that we cut out

finally on the oven trays

we are waiting eagerly..

Burned!

Chorus...

So (continues with a thick german accent): Eat zis and enschoy. ;D

its officially Rolf Zuckowski season now

[fred-erick-frankenstein]

[ID 1: the search bar of YouTube, saying: “Rolf Zuckowski Weihnachtslieder” (Rolf Zuchowski Christmas songs).

ID 2: the CD cover of Rolf Zuchowski's Album "Winterkinder. Rolf Zuckowski und seine Freunde", showing under the album name singer Rolf Zuckowski sitting on a big, flying sleigh, several children sitting behind him. They are flying over a snowy landscape with several buildings. The sky behind them is light blue with snowflakes on it. /end ID].

Deutsche Weihnachtsmusik meiner Kindheit

Weihnachten war als ich klein war sehr von Rolf Zuckowski (dts. Musiker, vor allem für seine Kindellieder bekannt) geprägt. Besonders dieses Album: "Stille Nächte - helles Licht" (weniger Kinder-auslegt)

Anyone else remember "der kleine Tag" by Rolf Zuckowski or was that just a formative experience for me

[lobotomy-maybe-bestie]

rolf zuckowski was so right when he said die jahresuhr steht niemals still

[izzyofthestars2004]

Dead or lesser known fandoms make me feel more alive.

Went on a show binge and now I'm in love again. Tabaluga the baby dragon is cute and I wish to hug him IRL. Also made an OC cause I be bored and dull. I'll make a character ref for her later.

Also next page of Balan will come next.

Until then, I hope you like it

(I maybe sick but at least I can still do do some Artwork, even though my Allergies are still bothering Me.)

Seeing on how that I've been in such a Tabaluga hyperfixation, I wanted to do a few personal redesigns of Arktos' Daughter which resulted in a Number of Three (inspired by someone else's version). Granted, The First one was my First Redesign when I drew Lilli with her Father (even after doing some personal interpretation of the Tabaluga cast in my own style last year) but I felt like wanting to draw some better optional outfits to suit her if I'm not gonna get used to the first one.

I also wanted to batch in each of the Different Princess Crown design on her Head if Arktos is the one who always wears a Hat (but it's still often questionable if his Eyes are meant to be on his Hat or Not). Now, the First Crown obviously stays the same but the Other Two are completely the same (just in a different shape or form). I mainly took the inspiration behind those designs raging from Wendy Darling (from "Peter Pan"), Princess Irene (from "The Princess and The Goblin"), and even lastly a Ballerina-inspired based dress (considering on how much Lilli was meant to be sculpted as a Ballerina).

Personally, I like the Second One a lot more but the Third One is Good, if I'd had to pick either of the options, I'd probably would use it later as a Final Design to consider.
