"With piratical cheekiness, slightly sweaty old man poetry and anarchic pleasure in nonsense, the trio of old men from the Nesenbach now shows the old-fashioned 'Wellerman' where the wooden leg prosthesis hangs", writes 'Shanty', the official central organ of marine transfiguration music about the latest prank "Ho Boys, Ho!" by The Bellevue Boys. 
There is hardly anything more to add - except maybe that every third line has been robbed from the Beatles‘ „Let it be“, and that the song is recommended exclusively for listeners of solid moral maturity.

„Mit piratischer Frechheit, leicht schweißelnder Altmännerpoesie und anarchischer Lust am Blödsinn zeigt das Greisentrio vom Nesenbach nun dem bräsig-braven ‚Wellerman‘, wo das Holzbein hängt“, schreibt ‚Shanty‘, das amtliche Zentralorgan marinen Verklärungs-Liedguts über den neuesten Streich „Ho Boys, Ho!“ von The Bellevue Boys. 
Dem ist kaum mehr Wesentliches hinzuzufügen - außer vielleicht, dass gefühlt jede dritte Liedzeile aus „Let it be“ von den Beatles geseeräubert ist, und dass der Song sich ausschließlich für eine Hörerschaft von gefestigter sittlicher Reife empfiehlt.

"Avec l‘insolence des pirates, une poésie de vieillard sulfureuse et une envie anarchique de faire des bêtises, le trio de retraités du Nesenbach montre désormais au chanson un peu rassis ‚The Wellerman‘ où se trouve la jambe de bois", écrit 'Shanty', l'organe central officiel de la musique marine de transfiguration, à propos du dernier coup "Ho Boys, Ho !" de The Bellevue Boys.
Il n'y a guère plus à ajouter - sauf peut-être qu'une ligne  sur trois de ce chanson a été volée à "Let it be" des Beatles, et que la chanson est exclusivement recommandée à un public d'une maturité morale confirmée.

Ho Boys, Ho !

Composing songs by transferring the texts of menus into music is always worthwhile. Especially when you have to wait a long time in a restaurant, it feels like it shortens the time and distracts you from your rumbling stomach. At the same time, it's a great way to imagine what might be going on in the kitchen during all those hours.

Das Vertonen der Texte von Speisekarten ist stets lohnend. Vor allem dann, wenn man im Restaurant sehr lange warten muss, verkürzt es gefühlt die Zeit und lenkt vom knurrenden Magen ab. Zugleich lässt sich dabei in launiger Runde trefflich ausmalen, was sich während all dieser Stunden wohl in der Küche abspielen mag.

Vitello Tomato

If you come home from the store with your new TV but it just won't work, then it's time for a dose of courage and your screwdriver. The Do-It-Yourself community's signature hymn was born in Stuttgart (south-west Germany) and comes in Swabian: "'Learned is learned, screwed is screwed'.

Wenn Du mit deinem brandneuen Fernseher aus dem Laden kommst und er partout nicht funktionieren will, dann ist es Zeit für eine Portion Mut und Deinen Schraubenzieher. Die Hymne der gobalen Heimwerker-Community stammt aus Stuttgart, kommt in Schwäbischer Sprache und meint in Hochdeutsch ungefähr soviel wie: "Gelernt ist gelernt, geschraubt ist geschraubt".

Schlauwiedsau

"You'll never know, what you can do until you try": Elimination of nail fungus by flamethrower, joyride with the stolen police car, release of three buxom background singers from prison - everything works if you just try.
The text of the chorus was inspired by sayings from Chinese fortune cookies.

Because I've Tried

When randomly selected text fragments from a nature book, an operating manual for an electric kitchen appliance and a money investment brochure come together, they enter into a strange alliance that does not miss its magic. Higher nonsense from 2013.

Haare Im Bidet

Who doesn't know it, the literary charm of a Turkish operating manual, in our case that of an LCD television? We did not understand a word of it, but could not escape the charm of the syllable sound. Lower nonsense from 2013.

Agdadasch

A poem by the Austrian author and poet Helmut Qualtinger lay around when the Bellevue Boys met in 2012 as usual to drink and dazzle some music. The magic of the Austrian dialect immediately seized power over the three slightly drunk composers. Sublime voices, guitars and accordion were quickly at hand. The goal: to create a song "austrian style" with austrian lyrics as meaningless as possible. A bull's eye.

Oarmuatschgerl

The trouble-shooting brochure of a Canon MP 520 inkjet printer hides pure poetry between its thin lines and tables. The Bellevue Boys bring them to light sensitively: from the Spanish version of the impressive printed matter. Ibero-nonsens of the melancholy kind (2011).

Los Siguientes Tamanos

The installation instructions of a Hewlett Packard 5640 inkjet printer sound as melancholic as the Portuguese fado and at the same time as soulful and elegant as the Brazilian Bossa Nova. Long after midnight, the Bellevue Boys moved through the recording studio rhythmically clumsily and with their shoulders hanging, reciting the most important passages of the chapter "Inserting the original HP ink cartridges".

Bossa Testosserossa - Espero Uma Cópia

Being a cook in the Congo - a disaster. Neither the necessary ingredients for a decent French menu are available anywhere, nor do guests appreciate anything other than frugal meals. A depressed cook in Kinshasa dreams of the menus of his French homeland and struggles alternately with escape and suicide thoughts. The Bellevue Boys feel with him (unusually profound nonsense, 2019).

Kinshasa

Rare are there occasions when one is already enraptured when studying the instruction manual of an electrical handicraft device. The 700 W hand circular saw from Hermann Fein GmbH in Germany is different. People all over Europe are raving about it - even in Italy (enthusiastic nonsense, 2011).

Oszillati - Che Bella Macchina

Anyone who has ever experienced the annual naval parade of the Russian Black Sea Fleet knows the grandeur and pride that sailor choirs let only hear when they are carried entirely by devotion and enthusiasm for their cause. A cause like this: the Russian-language operating manual for the Brother MFC 300 laser printer. A showpiece of printer technology (nonsense text from random, fragmentary excerpts of the Russian text version, 2011).

Technitscheskoe Rukowodstwo Druku Servis

Who discovers the literary, yes: the poetic depth that hides itself between the thin lines of some operating instructions, in government brochures or in cooking recipes? The Bellevue Boys from Swabia - G. G. Klimper, Bodo Maria Blickdicht and Jean-Luc Delmonac, Lord of Glencoe - use their combined almost 200 years of musical experience to unearth these internationally misunderstood, often undiscovered treasures and make them accessible to a public trembling with excitement. And then, chopped into arbitrary pieces, to bring them to new musical life.  Long live the nonsense!
