From Richard Scxhildgen: Mozart wrote this six-voice canon in 1782. It was likely a party piece for his friends. The title translates to “Lick me in the ass,” an old German idiom akin to the modern “Kiss my ass.” When Mozart’s publisher received the piece, he was shocked to see such bawdy language and bowdlerized the text to read, “Let us be glad!” (Which, I think, is the complete opposite of what this tune means.) Leck mich im Arsh, g’schwindi, g’schwindi! Etc. Lick me in the ass, quickly, quickly! Etc.
