Paul Lincke - Berliner Luft (Mid-Autumn Festival Recommendation)
Song Title: Berliner Luft Composer: Paul Lincke Release Date: 1904 Source: Pudding Baby, [Playio] Info most people probably know https://link.playio.co/o1eq6t 1989 Golden Orchid BBQ Sauce Commercial: https://youtu.be/nSknANwWrIs 1989 Golden Orchid BBQ Sauce Commercial: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/mBiM9PqcoAo It all started with a question from user Xiaomiding in Pudding Baby's post: What's the background song in the Golden Orchid BBQ sauce commercial? Translation of the opening of the original song 'Berliner Luft': This is the air of Berlin, Berlin, Berlin... followed by lyrics about how fresh the air is and how beautiful the environment is. Please refer to the song link for subtitles. PS. There's a reason why 'Berliner Luft' was used in the commercial. In the 80s and 90s, the Taiwanese government aimed to shed its reputation as the 'Kingdom of Piracy' by criminalizing copyright infringement. Previously, advertisers were legally prohibited from using unauthorized popular music, so they turned to well-known works whose copyrights had expired and entered the public domain. This led to many classical pieces becoming surprisingly familiar. As the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday winds down, let's make some barbecue smoke while listening to 'Berliner Luft'~🥮🍢🫑🍄🟫🥓

So there was a historical background of copyright law promotion behind it. I've really learned something. Using public domain for advertising has become a timeless classic; this observation is truly insightful!
