As manager of "The Oktoberfest Webring," I am always on the lookout for CD's of good Oktoberfest music. In this particular CD, all of the songs are played by the German Air Force Band and are taken from another CD entitled, "More German Military Marches & Polkas - Vol. II." As you might expect, most of the selections are not--strictly speaking--Oktoberfest numbers. However, they are played and sung in the light-hearted, breezy manner typical of Oktoberfest. In addition, the band and singers give top-notch performances. So, as a CD of Oktoberfest-like music, I give this product high marks. It would probably make great background music for any Oktoberfest.

This is a wonderful collection of festive German songs, great for listening to at parties, dinners, or your own Oktoberfest!

Very authentic music that would be heard at any public beer tent in munich. The want to hear it over and over never goes away.

Themed gift so I cant say I personally enjoyed it, but the received like it very much! Now he can listen to his german music and drink german beer from his german mug.

Bought this for an Oktoberfest celebration at my company and it fit the bill nicely. Too bad the party was during business hours and there wasn't any actual beer to drink.

I bought this CD to bring to our agency's Oktoberfest event. It has a great assortment of music to enjoy.

Very nice and fun "Theme Party" cd, you can sing along in between your "Biers". I enjoy it on occasion and it does receive some replays from time to time.

This is THE music you have to play if you host Oktoberfest Party, period. It's cheap and thanks to Amazon MP3 format (no worries about file protection like silly iTunes)

I purchased this as a present and he loves it. A nice music mix. If you like german band music/octoberfest music - this is the one.

Every Oktober (that's German for "October") Chubby Lou throws his annual Oktoberfest celebration. It's quite well known in the south, as we go on a stint of "bier trinken" (that's german for drinking beer). Seeing Chubby Lou in his Lederhosen is quite possibly the greatest thing ever, it's more memorable than your first born child. His stomach sticks out and he doesn't care, he dances the night away with his chalice full of beer. Everyone makes it out, the whole sizzle chest crew (big frank, cheese grits and lupus fury) we all have superior dancing skills than anyone attending the party. Chubby Lou loves oktoberfest so much that we have to tell him that it's over, otherwise he won't stop celebrating, he once celebrated 3 months straight and lost his job, got evicted, and his car was repocessed, we all had good laughs after that. Chubby Lous mom holds down the cooking, nothing but schnitzel, bratwurst and sauerkraut, pommes frites (that's german for french fries) all night long, she loves it. The track that really puts the party in 6th gear is " Komm Und Tanz" we played this song and danced for 3 hours, the police were called to break the famous shin-dig up, but they always end up joining the party, who can resist fine ladies, german beer, and non stop polka tanzen (that's polka dancing in german). We usually round off the end of the celebration with a 6 hour tribute to Hasselhoff, and score like Robin Yount on 3-2 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th. Anyways, I hope you see now that this is a mandatory oktoberfest keep-sake.
