Munich’s Oktoberfest to ban Italian disco hit co-opted by far right

Managers say no place at beer festival for song adapted with Nazi slogan Germany for the Germans, foreigners out'

The managers of Munich's Oktoberfest have said they will seek to ban an Italian disco hit from being played at the world's most famous beer festival after its hijacking by far-right revellers.

In recent months the schmaltzy love lyrics of L'amour Toujours, a catchy 2001 hit by Italian DJ Gigi D'Agostino, have repeatedly been drowned out at public gatherings by a Nazi slogan: Germany for the Germans, foreigners out".
