If they weren't all standing up, I'd think it was an assisted living party.

Head swimming here with that one.

First off if you've ever been to Austria you would know that this actually is pretty much what qualifies as partying. Incredibly repressive culture. Many moons ago I was in Vienna and after two days got the hell out of there as you could just feel the lack of any vitality, spontaneity or joy.

And I had a great place for cheap- I preferred to take my chances hitchhiking to other parts of Europe.

Seemed like a bunch of well-manicured dead souls to me though there has to be some subterranean culture there that has a pulse somewhere amidst the automatons.

Everything seemed quite antiseptic and so robotically clean that it made you want to toss a little trash around town which I never do.

Now to the song at hand- it's by Opus and it is (or was) a great song. That has to be lip synced there which would fit with the artificial nature of the whole scene. It's a pity that they are doing this as it will forever stain what was really their only "known" song. Shilling for a bunch of fascists is not going to look good in the history books.

Here's the original "Live is Life" video from 1985:

The von Trapps need to kick them off the stage and start singing "Edelweiss"!

These people are all the same. I think it's time we bust out the guillotines. Sorry, not sorry.

Lord have mercy. I think I'd rather shoot myself in the face than hang with this gaggle of barely reanimated cadavers.

Thank heavens the help are masked up, as usual. No one wants riff-raff spittle to defile one's schnapps or schnitzel.

All that's missing are transvestite dancing syringes.

just shows what an unreal stupid intolerable reality the 'upper' or 'ruling' or 'successful' classes live in. doesn't it? and they've got a little kid trapped in that madness with them - indoctrinating it to believe that's what 'reality' is. excuse my language: fucking insane. (and that's Austria? they 'party' in English?)

I think they are already in hell but don’t quite yet realize it. It reminds me of the really bad lounge act in Scarface right before they tried to unsuccessfully machine gun down Tony Montana.

I bet the after party was nothing but cocaine and gangbangs

As a pre-euthanasia send off party I give it a thumbs up.

Shut peasant and do as I say not as I do. We need to start seeing these creatures having an intimate encounter with some lamp posts and piano wire.

Lockdown and travel bans now!! This music needs to be contained and eradicated before it kills all taste!

Looks like all The Austrian Plandemic Politburo were there having a Grand Old Time, sufficiently socially distanced, likely vaxxed up, and mask free! What better time could be had? 😜

I sure do hope this was on Austrian TV, so that ALL people can see. Same thing happened here, last year all were forbidden to visit family, but they flew around and visited of course. Belgium : lockdown, only 4 people allowed, they : hired a restaurant to party. Why don't people stand up to this ? They did many years ago, in France, Belgium and many other countries. We need to get rid of these folks people !

They're a bit downshifted because right before they entered the gathering, they had to take a booster shot. I'm sure a bunch dropped dead, from extreme happiness, right after the event ! Or... maybe the event would have been a bit more jam-packed, but a bunch of attendees dropped dead, right after getting their boosters, right before the event ? Either way, 'the show must go on'...

M.Night Shyamalan's just released trailer for "The Non Sense", with an all dead cast.

There's a beat in there somewhere, guys. You just have to find it.

I dunno, I've never seen everybody clapping in such bad rhythm as that before, and some of those guys probably don't know who the guy singing is.

They must be doing what they've been told to do.

I'm sure the little people couldn't handle this much merriment. Perhaps they're better off at home.

At first i thought it was an early Mel Books movie in really bad taste starring Zero Mostel.

Those Austrians always did like that 80s-something music.

This is like all those scenes in the dystopian books and movies. Hunger Games, Snow Piercer etc.. Where the ancient and debauched upper crust get to party while the plebs shovel coal. But this is more like a B-grade version.

It seems the kitten is in a place beyond outrage. That's okay. We'll be outraged for you.

I don't know much about Austria but I reckon they can dance better than what goes on further North. This looks to be a forced event for the globalist minions that they all have to attend. Maybe this is Master's idea of letting his staff have a good time. Like when Ralph Fiennes sent Colin Farrell to Bruges in that movie.

0:26 = Austrian president Mr. van der Bellen - The president has actually small power (though he could refuse to sign laws and is official head of the army) much more a representative role.

0:33 to the right, Mr. Schallenberg, Austrian prime minister (ÖVP = Volkspartei, hehe; Austrian peoples party :) to the left, Mr. Kogler, his vice prime minister (Green party)

In the upper right corner it says ORF which is the offical Austrian Broadcasting Comp. ORF2 is 2nd channel.

Nice. Here is a cover version of the song that goes much, much better with that dancing!

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LB9lObWclFQ

YouTube now has an age restriction on the video, as there is a brief artistic shot of a female archer with uncovered breasts in the opening scene. That's why I included an uncensored Dailymotion link.

Who in their right mind would be clapping along to that 'upbeat elevator music'? Clapping along to a guy squeezing his nuts on a stage to get the high notes is not 'partying'. Do we live on the same planet or what?!

If that's what Austrian parties look like I prefer to be locked in my home.

Ha, good one, I saw that but I couldn't be bothered to post it before I went to bed.

Still, here's what I dug up: ± the same happened in June 2020 in Switzerland, but with a special "twist":

"According to the report, politicians had an “illegal party” on Tuesday evening at around 10.30 pm. After a 14-hour session, many felt like a cool beer or a sip of wine—and gathered at the “Henris”, the restaurant in the Bernexpo convention centre where the session took place from Monday to Wednesday due to Corona. There is talk of at least 50 up to 100 parliamentarians from various parliamentary groups."

"The councillors and employees of the parliamentary services had to have somewhere to eat, after all. Outside Bernexpo, this was difficult”, parliamentary services answered on request. It remains unclear how much alcohol—which the parliamentarians had to pay for themselves—was consumed."

In short: two Alpine republics, with comparably shitty politicians, albeit the smell may be somewhat different. (/sarcasm)
