In the TIL (Thematically Peripatetically) dep't
In the classic British war movie Ice Cold in Alex, one character who blames himself for a drinking problem that may have cost someone else their life declares he's not going to take another drink until he and the people fleeing across the African desert with him can sit down and have "an ice cold lager in Alex[andria]." This promise he keeps.
The interesting part lies in how the promise plays out on film.
youtube
A background issue (from the production standpoint) of what makes this scene so interesting is that it's always hard to get any scene right in just one take. There were apparently a fair number of takes on this shot.
The producers apparently tried hard to substitute something non-alcoholic for the beer, but this proved impossible, as there was no way to fake the head. So they used real beer.
John Mills, professional that he was, drank them one after another in multiple takes. As a result, co-star Sylvia Syms describes him as having been "a little heady" when they were done with that scene.
Another less problematic problem (as such things go...) was that the novel by Christopher Landon on which the film was based has the actors drinking a US beer called Rheingold... which the producers ruled out. They they felt there was no way the characters would willingly be drinking a German (or German-sounding) beer after being pursued across North Africa by the Afrika Korps. So Carlsberg was substituted.
...And it's at this point that things start to veer. @petermorwood was telling me about this, some of which I knew... but not about the Rheingold.
"Really?" I said. "You're kidding me!"
"Why?" he said.
At which point I did what any New Yorker of a certain age might very likely do under such circumstances: I burst into song. (And frankly, because you don't need to hear me doing that, here are the Golden Girls doing it.)
youtube
Rheingold was the best-selling beer in the New York metropolitan area, and apparently in New York state as well, at least partly due to numerous aggressive advertising campaigns on radio and then on TV. That jingle was known, in many permutations—including one in 6/8 time that appears in this stop-motion-animated commercial—by lots and lots of people.
Including me. So I sang it (at least some of it: I couldn't remember the final couple of stanzas) and Peter and I looked at each other in mild bemusement. "You think your mind's full of useless garbage," I said, "try mine sometime!" And we laughed and went back to whatever we'd been doing.
Out of curiosity, I then went over to YouTube to see (as I sometimes do) whether I was anywhere near the original key of the best-known version of the jingle while singing. Turns out I was pretty close. But along the line, I stumbled across the blog of a retired librarian who clued me in on something startling:
That jingle's music was ripped off, in whole cloth, from a French composer... whose authorship is apparently routinely obscured by the name of the music's (possibly better-known?) arranger.
Here it is, and apparently misattributed as above, in full classical glory: the Estudiantina Waltz. (Warning: the main chorus is a bit of an earworm, and you may not be able to get rid of it easily. I know I won't be, for the day anyway...)
youtube
...So that's the local installment of Today I Learned. May yours (if you have one) be way more useful and interesting. :)

Emile Waldteufel - Skaters Waltz
10 octubre 2022
“Sentir la música de Émile Waldteufel de la mano del violín de Rieu es como recorrer un espacio infinito sin sensualidades por las que sufrir, es como vivir sin hacerlo, tan solo sientes que te mueves flotando en un espacio irreconocible e intangible, es como si nunca hubiera nacido vida alguna en parte alguna. Basta con cerrar los ojos y solo escuchar” …

Hi neofolk anon, tumblr ate your ask when i was trying to save it to my drafts so i’m making a post instead.
first of all, sorry for the delay </3
if you are already familiar a bit with neofolk, then you probably know of the most prominent bands like Death in June and Current 93, bands that have the “cliche” neofolk sound with acoustic guitar, martail drums and electronics. in general they’re nice, but what i like the most is a much more folky, less serious sound. specifically a tiny subgenre called “alpine (neo)folk” mostly represented by Sturmpercht. i looove Sturmpercht! they sing about local traditions, customs and supersitions. they aren’t so dead serious and martial focused as some other bands.
Tumblr media
just look at them. its obvious that they're one with the spirit of the woods and don't care about any earthly issues.
i like bands singing in German, but i know that some people cannot stomach German at all :) other similar artists are Waldteufel and Solblot (Solblot are Swedish actually, but have a very similar sound). Werkraum, Leger des Heils, Falkenstein, Graumahd...
i highly dislike bands that have an unhealthy obsession with ancient Rome (it’s more of a thing in martial industrial, but happens with neofolk artists too) because i hate ancient rome and everything it stands for ^_^ i only accept obsession with paganism and barbarians murdering romans.
also i have a neofolk yt playlist
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtsmCDFQoaggDf0ZrvEIFCqHYJTZfdDSu
but bear in mind that it consisnts not only of neofolk songs, but also of some martial industrial, normal folk, medieval music, throat singing, military pop, bands like Wardruna &Heilung and weird music that in my opinion has some similarities to the rest of them.
hope you will see it and join me in my Sturmpercht fanaticism!
