Other bands release a single and say, “This is our new hit!”
The Wolpertinger Buam are releasing two A-sides at once and saying, “Pick the hit yourselves!”
The big day is August 13, 2026: The Wolpertinger Buam are launching their new double A-side single—and it’s not just any release.
We’ll go ahead and make a modest claim:
THIS IS THE WORLD’S FIRST 100% DOUBLE A-SIDE SINGLE!
No B-side. No filler track. No “Track 2 that nobody listens to anyway.”
Instead, you get double the RÄTÄTÄ:
“Westerwald – bist du bereit?” vs. “Schädelweh”
Kalle Koma
„Two songs. Two potential hits. Two A-sides. And one crucial question: Which song will the Wolpertinger Buam use to conquer the Oktoberfest season?“
Hoty Neumann
( Frontman )„Naturally, it is impossible for us to decide that ourselves. After all, we are musicians, not experts.“
So, someone who knows a thing or two about important matters needs to step in. Our top investigative journalist, Kalle Koma, has summoned the band for a crisis meeting.
Kalle Koma
„Guys, I have to ask right away. A double A-side single—what is that supposed to be, exactly? Couldn't you just make up your minds?“
Hoty
„Actually, we have made a decision.“
Kalle Koma
„Namely?“
Hoty
„For both.“
Kalle Koma
„That is not a decision.“
Hoty
„For us, it is.“
Tommy
„Democracy can be so simple.“
Kalle Koma
„Normally, a single has an A-side and a B-side.“
Elsi
„That is precisely where the problem lies.“
Kalle Koma
„What problem?“
Elsi
„Which of the two songs should voluntarily go on the B-side?“
Hoty
„You couldn't possibly explain that to anyone. Just imagine telling Schädelweh: "I'm afraid you're only a B-side."“
Tommy
„That’s enough to give you a Schädelweh.“
Elsi
„Correct.“
Kalle Koma
„Then we’ll settle it musically. What can we expect from 'Westerwald – Are You Ready'?“
Hoty
„Home. Party. Full throttle. Westerwald.“
Tommy
„And the question of whether the Westerwald is even ready for us.“
Kalle Koma
„Is he?“
Elli
„After 25 years with the Wolpertinger Buam, he ought to know by now what to expect.“
Kalle Koma
„And a Schädelweh?“
Ronny
„That isn't really music.“
Kalle Koma
„Rather?“
Ronny
„A long-term medical study.“
Hoty
„Der Song beschreibt sehr präzise den Zeitraum zwischen "Komm, einen trinken wir noch" und "Warum ist es draußen schon wieder hell?".“
Elli
„Scientifically, it’s called Rätätä.“
Kalle Koma
„So, let's get down to brass tacks: which of the two songs is the actual hit?“
Hoty
„Westerwald!“
Ronny
„Schädelweh!“
Elsi
„Both!“
Kalle Koma
„The interview is going excellently.“
Ronny
„Thanks.“
Kalle Koma
„So, the fans are supposed to decide now, then?“
Elli
„Exactly. Starting today, both songs are available on major streaming and download platforms. Give them a listen, turn up the volume, and pick your favorites.“
Tommy
„It’s best to listen to it several times. Purely for scientific reasons.“
Elsi
„Very often, in fact.“
Kalle Koma
„And what does the winner get?“
Ronny
„Which winner?“
Kalle Koma
„Well, the song.“
Hoty
„Oh, I see. Nothing.“
Ronny
„The other one doesn't either, by the way.“
Elli
„Both of them have to come along on the tour.“
Kalle Koma
„So, in the end, there is no loser at all?“
Hoty
„But.“
Kalle Koma
„Who?“
Elli
„Presumably our liver again.“
Tommy
„Oh boy ...“
Kalle Koma
„Lightning-round answer! Westerwald or Schädelweh?“
Hoty
„Yes!“
Ronny
„Both!“
Elsi
„RÄTÄTÄ!“
Kalle Koma
„I give up.“
