Roarshock, I travel to Germany all the time, (mostly würtemburg) never heard of that celebration in Bayern. But as you know there is a fest every week of the year somewhere. Prost!
OK, it's not an actual moni-moni movie. But Clark Griswold, (portrayed by Chevy Chase) brings his Wife & 2 kids to Europe in "European Vacation" and one segment is at Oktöberfest ...
The male child meets a busty German chick, and the daughter misses her boyfriend when confronted with Bratwurst.
Also, when they are in UK / England, the Griswold clan watches the BBC on three different channels and they are all mini-movies regarding Cheese and/or The Queen.
I think that is the Nat-Lamp folks acknowledging their Monty Python influence. Cheese, Cheese, Queen, Cheese.
But I have not seen that film in Decades, so it might all be Cheese, no Queen.
Yes, I found it to be quite humorous at the time. I have watched the vast majority of the Monty Python BBC shows, and the SCTV series from Canada.
Here is what you probably already know: the fellows in the Beatles, Pink Floyd and other British rock groups found the usual BBC television programmes so boring that they helped Fund the Monty Python group, in order to have something to watch on 'The Telly'.
No doubt that has been documented elsewhere, but perhaps some younger Zoners are unaware.
Besides "Monty Python's Flying Circus" my other favorite Brit TV series are "The Avengers" and "The Prisoner".
If I were Chairman of the World
Mice would not vex Disco Stu.
Cats would patrol all Midgard,
And Disco Stu’s farmhouse too.
From warrior cat to kitty pet,
No solace for the mice that roared.
Be they fierce as Reepicheep
Be they twerp, or low pipsqueak.
Even Frederick, the Poet-Mouse
(From the tip of his nose to the end of his tail).
Ha! Ha! Stuart Little!
Cut away all paper bags!
The film is nothing like the book.
You are not Chairman of the World,
And neither am I, alas, alack, a-lark!
(Leave birds out of this!)…
Dapper, tweed dressed mice, driving roadsters,
Or fighting battles with flashing swords,
Of no concern to cats in universes next door.
Space-time for Springers, Schrödinger,
Are you alive, or are you dead?
I like you cat, I will call you Kim.
Now go and catch those mice!
Replied the cat,
“I will call you LUSH! I will call you SOT!
No is kitten, is CAT! Name is Kim!”
…And along with orange Dudley,
And tabby cats Max and Moe,
Mama Kitty too (cat goddess rest her soul),
And Queen Silvera, regal and aloof
In the Forest of Kim!
All send greetings, Disco Stu,
So do not be downhearted!
Your mice shall soon be thwarted, swatted down!
Your home again a sea of tranquility
When those mice are gone!
Yours, in jest,
The Chairman of the World.
