German music, dancing and songs.

I'd like to start the thread with Heino:



Any kind of German music is welcome, form traditional Alpine dances to punk rock.
I'd prefer a party theme, rather than anything political, although I wouldn't say don't post this or that genre of music.

Do you have a favorite German song or style of music?
Please post it!

The Best!

Hoch auf dem gelben Wagen.
The German romance of the 19th century postal wagon, and a song about duty:

Absolutely amazing dance and community spirit to keep these traditions alive:

One of the indigenous homelands of the Schuplattler dance - Tirol.
