Lick Me In The Ass a.k.a. Leck mich im Arsch

I don't know if people perform this canon, but another canon containing vulgar language is performed often, we even sung it in school in musical education. It is called "Bona nox!", the lyrics are:

Bona nox!
bist a rechta Ochs;
bona notte,
liebe Lotte;
bonne nuit,
pfui, pfui;
good night, good night,
heut müßma noch weit;
gute Nacht, gute Nacht,
scheiß ins Bett daß' kracht;
gute Nacht,
schlaf fei' g'sund und
reck' den Arsch zum Mund.

The line "scheiß ins Bett daß' kracht" means "Shit in bed so that it cracks" and "reck' den Arsch zum Mund" means "Stretch your ass to the mouth".

We sang that in music class at school, too! But I know the last line as "...bleib recht kugelrund" (stay very fat). Perhaps teachers at school thought this was better for children than "stretch your ass to the mouth", who knows?

And there are letters Mozart wrote to his cousin Maria Anna Thekla Mozart in Augsburg "the Bäsle letters"; they are very vulgar, too. For example, he describes accurately how he shits (sorry for language, but that´s Mozart :-) ), that it´s hard sometimes, and that he feels much better after that. And since there´s now room in his belly again, he is able to eat some more food...

If you don´t know the "Bäsle Briefe" yet, you should read them!

Oh ok... I've also read that he had Tourette's syndrome

Maybe he was autistic. He was too genius to be normal, you know...

Then his whole family would have to be autistic =)

For example this is from a letter of Leopold Mozart to his wife and son Wolfgang in Mannheim:“Nannerl and I, together with Bimperl, kiss and lick you both, but not your asses, a million times...”

and this is from a reply of Wolfgang's mother to Leopold: "Addio, ben mio. Keep well, my love. Into your mouth your ass you'll shove. I wish you good-night, my dear, but first shit in your bed and make it burst. It is long after one o'clock already. Now you can go on rhyming yourself."

LOL

there you go :)

I think Mozart's reputation for crudeness has been a bit grossly exaggerated, thanks mostly to the "Amadeus" film (which is a wonderful movie, but too many people take it as 100% factual... it most certainly is not).

This is an interesting read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozart_and_scatology#Scatology_and_German_culture

"Dundes (1984) provides ample coverage of scatological humor in Mozart, but also cites scatological texts from Martin Luther, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Heinrich Heine, and other luminaries of German culture. Karhausen (1993) asserts that "Scatology was common in Mitteleuropa, [central Europe]" noting for instance that Mozart's Salzburg colleague Michael Haydn also wrote a scatological canon.[23]

Some of the phrases used by Mozart in his scatological material were not original with him but were part of the folklore and culture of his day: Mieder (2003) describes the Bäsle letters as involving "Mozart's intentional play with what is for the most part preformulated folk speech."[24] An example given by Robert Spaethling is the folkloric origin of a phrase seen above, "Gute Nacht, scheiss ins Bett dass' Kracht," said by Spaethling to be a "children's rhyme that is still current in south German language areas today." [25] Likewise, when Mozart sang to Aloysia Weber the words "Leck mich das Mensch im Arsch, das mich nicht will" ("The one who doesn't want me can lick my ass") on the occasion of being romantically rejected by her, he was evidently singing an existing folk tune, not a song of his own invention.[26]"
