Local German house band Bahnhof (‘train station’) has already completed its entire setlist seven minutes into the Oktoberfest event for which it is commissioned to play three hours, according to distressed sources in Lederhosen.
“Well, shit,” said accordion player Bob Lozier, having already roused the crowd into a fifth Prost (cheers) since the unexpected shortcoming of material. “I could’ve sworn this set lasted us the whole gig a year ago.”
Other members of the band appeared equally uncertain of what had changed.
“We didn’t just play this same stuff over and over again last time, did we?” asked bassist Greg Schultz between anecdotes of German proverbs, the authenticity of which seemed highly speculative. “Even the drunks would’ve noticed that, right?”
Currently, the band is considering last-minute additions to their set, including the “Here We Go!” Steelers fight song and Chicken Dance.
