Gonashvili / Herzog
Click to viewA song called "Cincyaro" or Tsintskaro sung by Hamlet Gonashvili. The lyrics go something like:
"I walked by the spring
met a beautiful girl
the one holding a jar on her shoulder
I told her a word
she got angry with me and stood aside"
...which explains a bit for the video. I first heard this song (included as a bridge-like element) in Kate Bush's "Hello Earth" from her album Hounds of Love. Second time this tune came up was when I watched the movie "Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht" by Werner Herzog. Here's the clip - but do not watch it if you suffer from musophobia:
And some related trivia (Wikipedia):
- A number of white rats were painted grey for inclusion in the film.
- During the shipment to Delft, the rat population of 11,000 exploded to 30,000. After the rat scene was filmed, the mayor of Delft announced to the citizens that any rats brought in would garner the rat-catcher a reward of 5 gulden (2 euros). For three weeks, the children of Delft skipped school to hunt down the valuable rats.
