"Gruess Gott, Servus, Baba" is a fast Viennese folk stomp for two voices, spiralling outward through the districts from the first — Favoriten, Ottakring, Grinzing, the Central Cemetery, the Prater wheel — and the history stacked underneath them. Two locals argue the tour at 140 BPM, quietly certain that everything Vienna is famous for was taken from somewhere else. The world's most liveable city, and nobody will admit it.
Gruess Gott Servus Baba
Style
Fast Viennese folk stomp at 140 BPM in driving 2/4, built on twin fiddles, contra-guitar, button accordion and upright bass over boot stomps, one dry snare and mass handclaps, with male and female leads alternating line by line in broad Viennese-accented English and plain unison choruses.
