| Give it a try: Bittner Rap |
| "Ala hopp" | (the thing Erik Simon said when there was too much talk and not enough action - fragment is sped up) | |||||
| "Bit-bittner" | (Michael Bittner) | |||||
| Nose blowing | (Richard Karsmakers) | |||||
| At ten or eleven, he walks in | ||||||
| His name is Bittner, his face is a grin | ||||||
| Ready to code and ready to freak | ||||||
| Apart from curses he doesn't speak | ||||||
| Assembler here, assembler there | ||||||
| He can do it anywhere | ||||||
| Games and tools, more to do | ||||||
| He's the one to see it through | ||||||
| Coding and coding, for the ultimate clash | ||||||
| Coding and coding, but the programs crash | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner | ||||||
| "b-b-b-bit" | (maybe Michael Bittner) | |||||
| "c-coding" | ||||||
| "for the ultimate clash – nein" | (Manuela Scholz, who was trying to pronounce "ultimate" properly, but had difficulty) | |||||
| "c-c-c-c-coding" | ||||||
| Erik's the name and he ain't small | ||||||
| Two metres tall with beard and all | ||||||
| The man with graphics that we all love | ||||||
| That fit to each other just like a glove | ||||||
| NeoChrome here, NeoChrome there | ||||||
| He can draw things anywhere | ||||||
| Sprites and screens, more to make | ||||||
| But he can do it, no mistake | ||||||
| Drawing and drawing, art is his thing | ||||||
| Drawing and drawing, joy he will bring | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner | ||||||
| "Coding and coding, for the ultimate clash" | (Christian Jungen) | |||||
| "Ricola Schweizer Kräuterzucker" | (Christian Jungen is Swiss and Jochen Hippel often used to call him "Ricola" instead of Christian) | |||||
| "Alter Simbel" | (Erik Simon, it's what Erik Simon used to say when you'd done something dumb. I always meant it be a mild insult - fragment is slowed down) | |||||
| Chris is Swiss, just having fun | ||||||
| An equal to him there will always be none | ||||||
| His vector graphics are as fast can be | ||||||
| The fastest graphics for all to see | ||||||
| Vectors here, vectors there | ||||||
| He can code them everywhere | ||||||
| Lines and objects, more to write | ||||||
| Makes them move at speed of light | ||||||
| Vectors and vectors, he makes them be | ||||||
| Vectors and vectors, with speed guarantee | ||||||
| "coding" "coding" "vectors" | ("coding" is Christian Jungen, and "vectors" is a sped-up Erik Simon) | |||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner | ||||||
| "a-a-a-a-a ala hopp" | ||||||
| "Alter Simbel" | ||||||
| "coding" "coding" | ||||||
| Dragons/Dungeons(?) to slay and dragons to save | ||||||
| That's more work for Karsten the brave | ||||||
| Sir Marillion in his dreams he'd like to be | ||||||
| He would never from any monster flee | ||||||
| Playing here, playing there | ||||||
| He can play games everywhere | ||||||
| Games and games, more to complete | ||||||
| He can do without a cheat | ||||||
| Playing and playing, there is no end | ||||||
| Playing and playing, hours to spend | ||||||
| "playing-p-playing" | (Manuela Scholz) | |||||
| "playing-p-playing" | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner – Bittner! | ||||||
| My name is Bittner | ||||||
| She's the heart of Thalion, she's the heart of all | ||||||
| That sweet Manu, just cute and small | ||||||
| Always there for everyone who is in need | ||||||
| A lovely busybody that she is indeed | ||||||
| Typing here, typing there | ||||||
| She writes letters everywhere | ||||||
| Call after call, another reply | ||||||
| She does it nicely without no sigh | ||||||
| "playing-p-playing" | (Manuela Scholz) | |||||
| She does it really nicely... | ||||||
| "for the ultimate clash – nein" | ||||||
| ...our lovely sweet Manu! | ||||||
| "p-playing" | (Manuela Scholz) | |||||
| Phoning and phoning, all of the day | ||||||
| Phoning and phoning, with no delay |
As a bit of a bonus, here's the lyrics to the Bittner Mix, which was part of the "Life's a Bitch"-demo by "The Lost Boys". The mix was – obviously – made by Jochen Hippel and served to inspire the track on the "Give it a Try" CD. Unless indicated otherwise, everything was spoken by the one and only, the man, the myth, the legend, Michael Bittner. One of the most modest (and most quiet) guys at Thalion. |

(Quelle & Richard Karsmakers)
