A great song with a great fan video to accompany it. It says it all really about how dissatisfied the German people were with Kaiser Wilhelm II during and shortly after the First World War, that they looked back fondly to the "old Kaiser" Wilhelm I in the song "We want our old Kaiser back".
This is a German military song and is playful as it leads the audience to believe they nostalgically wish for the return of Wilhelm II but then they qualify this by saying the "one with the long beard". Incidentally, the singer with the distinctive bass-baritone voice is the legendary Heino who sells more records in Germany than Elvis or the Beatles! I hope you enjoy!
