Ottifantenpolonaise

okay, an "Ottifant" is not only a trademark, but also a blend of the nickname of Otto Waalkes, a german comedian, and the word "elephant". They featured on the cover of his first album release. 

 A Polonaise is a conga-line ;-)

Otto Waalkes was born 1948 in the north of germany, at Emden. His origin is a running gang throughout his career. Waalkes' humor consists of puns and word plays as well as the use of silly and funny language, noises and body language. Parodies, for instance in form of popular songs that he revises and presents with his guitar, are typical stylistic elements. Additionally, he often imbeds satire, political innuendos and critique of time and society into his humorous performances.
