Mozart's least known composition: "Lick me in the arse"
Rediscovered recently in 1991, "Leck mich im Arsch" (literally "Lick me in the arse") is a canon in B-flat major composed by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, with lyrics in German. Sung by six voices as a three-part round, it is thought to be a party piece for his friends.
In 1799, the original publisher changed the title and lyrics of this canon to the more acceptable "Laßt froh uns sein" ("Let us be glad!"), but a new text version, which may have been the authentic one, consists only of the repeated phrases: "Leck mich im Arsech... g'schwindi, g'schwindi!"
