00:00Where did the toolbox go again?
00:13Ah, there it is!
00:15Look at that!
00:17My saw!
00:19What a surprise, isn't it?
00:21And the bow is still here!
00:24Let's see...
00:26Oh, what a pleasant sound!
00:29Sweet harmonies are melting my ears!
00:31What's that?
00:33Grandpa, what kind of fire alarm is that?
00:35Ola, get the mice out of the cellar!
00:37Oh, children, isn't that beautiful?
00:39The singing saw!
00:41The instrument of the room people, boatmen and lumberjacks!
00:46Ah, Herbert von Wimmerjahn on the saw!
00:50Concert for cracked drum heads and fallen teeth!
00:54What you are missing is the famous musical background!
00:57What we are missing is Oropax!
00:59Oh, children!
01:01If only you knew what a sad and exciting story
01:06is connected with this instrument!
01:09Oh, a sad story! How romantic!
01:12After all, he wants to tell it!
01:14And not to the saw!
01:16Quiet on the cheap seat!
01:18Ears pointed and attentive!
01:20The story of the singing sawfish in three acts!
01:24Well, once I was on my way in the ice sea
01:27with a load of crammed birds.
01:30I was supposed to deliver them to the Eskimos of Greenland.
01:34And suddenly I hear such a strange noise.
01:39It sounded as if someone wanted to saw a tree.
01:44A tree?
01:46In the middle of the ice sea!
01:49I quickly realized who or what was really sawing.
01:54It was a sawfish!
01:56It went on and on.
01:59Sawfish make a great fun of it,
02:03to saw and sink ships.
02:06Oh, I thought the story was about a sinking sawfish.
02:10And not about a sinking Captain Blueberry!
02:13That was it!
02:15I actually thought I was going to sink soon.
02:18So I thought to myself,
02:20if you're already singing,
02:22you can also sing one last song to say goodbye.
02:25I had just set up a record with sad music.
02:29Then I suddenly hear a voice
02:32from Garwunder Sander Süss.
02:35Heavenly!
02:36From a well-shaped glider.
02:39That was the sawfish.
02:41A musical sawfish with a real opera voice.
02:46I was thrilled!
02:49I've heard of flying fish.
02:52And stinking fish I've smelled.
02:55But singing fish, that doesn't exist.
02:58Oh, and since when are there talking, mumbling bears
03:02who always contradict their grandpa
03:04when he tells a story of deep truth and tragedy?
03:09Well...
03:10We are a special case, an exception.
03:13Yes, an exception.
03:15And this sawfish was also an exception.
03:18He sang so exceptionally well
03:20that I immediately became his manager.
03:23He sang all the great roles that you can only sing.
03:27The carpenter.
03:29The polisher of Sevilla.
03:31The saw of the Nibelungen.
03:34Orpheus in the sawmill.
03:37The wedding of Segaro.
03:39And, of course, the magic saw.
03:43He became more and more famous
03:45until one day it happened.
03:48During a break, the sawfish got such an insatiable appetite
03:52to saw really thick boards again
03:56that he saw through the boards, which mean the world to him,
03:59among himself
04:02and all his gears broke.
04:04That was the end of his career as a singer.
04:07Indeed, the story...
04:09Of the singing sawfish...
04:10...is pretty insatiable.
04:12Well, as the poet said,
04:15the day will come when the saw wants to sing.
04:19Grandpa, could you do us a big favor?
04:22And that would be?
04:24Please bring the saw to sing first
04:26when we are out of pitch, yes?
04:28Well, I will teach you the flutes and the saw tones.
04:34Concerto in A-flat major.
04:37The Three Running Bears.
04:39By Captain Blueberry.
