Alternative Lyrics to Well Known Songs 38 - Götz of Berlichingen

(Based on the song 'Son of a Gun' by 'JX')

An alternative lyrics post based on an upbeat 1990s dance track for your aural delectation this week. The lyrics are about the man who coined the impudent phrase "You can lick my arse!": Götz of Berlichingen (aka Götz of the Iron Hand, 'cause he had a top-notch prosthetic arm which was good enough for holding a quill or a sword).

So who was Götz of Berlichingen?  Well, It depends upon your perspective really.  He could be described as any one of the following:

• A disabled medieval dude.
• A German Knight.
• A freebooter (he robbed merchants).
• An existentialist (in Sartres view).
• The man who coined the phrase "He can lick my arse." (or it's variations like "You can pucker up and kiss my arse!")

Regardless of the angle that you see him from there's no doubting that he's one heck of a character!

Anyway, onto the lyrics themselves.  For some reason they make me smile.  I think it's the juxtaposition of the elements: the subject matter is an adventurous Medieval German knight, while the song is an upbeat 1990's dance track.  Quite the coupling!
 
Enjoy!
