https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DG-unfr0I6w — Bert Kaempfert and orchestra make life happier for fourteen minutes.

ZDF Kultur... German Zweites Deutsche Fernsehen (second german TVstation)... Cultural segment apparently...

The first one immidiatly struck a chord... I _knew_ I'd seen the name Bert Kaempfert before... In the Netherlands that first song is most famous for it's use in the attraction park Efteling, to showcase the fairytale of the Indian Waterlilies located in the fairytale forest

Seeing that one isn't subbed, the wikipedia page on the fairytale has the info and the short story told at the start

“Far away in the Indian jungle, there lies a small and mysterious lake. When the moon rises, big and yellow, to the sky, the moon goddess and hundreds of stars come down to dance on the lake. They dance, all night long, to the chants of a witch who is standing beside the waterfall. With dawn, the moon goddess claps her hands and all of them must return to the skies. But one night, seven stars continued to dance. They suffered heavily for their disobedience: the witch had them in her power and changed them into fairies, forcing them to dance on the water-lilies forever.”

As an FYI - the clattering noise before and after the video is of the waterfall in the attraction itself. The shown show in the YouTube video is repeated every 5 minutes, seeing the attraction is basically a walk-in/walk-out attraction.

One could refer to ARD and ZDF as the regional broadcasters' collaboration projects to form the German national Channel 1 and Channel 2, either with sub-channels by now.

The Cat Concerto is similar, and so is Rhapshody Rabbit, If you want to see it taken to the max, the piano duel from Who Framed Roger Rabbit is more a duel of equals between Donald and Daffy Duck. But it hasn't aged well.
