80's Flashback

Edelweiss, Bring Me Edelweiss, 1988. Following the step-by-step instructions on how to create a pop smash as laid out in the KLF's book, The Manual, three Austrian men teamed up with vocalist Maria Mathis to make Bring Me Edelweiss, a manic combination of fiddles, accordions, rapping, pop samples, ABBA and Indeep lyrics, and most notably, yodeling. Ruck. Sack. RUCKSACK. The KLF's methodology worked perfectly - Bring Me Edelweiss went to #1 in 17 countries and reached #7 on the U.S. dance chart.
