You're So Cool is a homage. Zimmer has always acknowledged this as the template for his piece.

This music is immortal.

I discovered this song in the movie Badlands. Amazing.

I just heard this wafting from a gentle chugging canal boat in Islington, London, during this brilliantly sunny, hot, day. The boat was full of young Spaniards waving and smiling, eating and drinking, and the moment was just *perfect*. It`s a beautiful piece.

Doy gracias a DIos por haber conocido esta maravillosa música. Gracias, maestro Orff.

This music never fails to reduce me to tears.

I love this piece of music. It doesn't reduce me to tears, unless it tears of joy. It makes me feel like I'm bounding or galloping. It bubbles. I love how it was used in "Finding Forrester" as he rides off into the horizon.

This piece makes me want to dance. It carries hints of any number of folkloric styles, Andean and Central American in particular. To me it feels gentle, flirtatious, cheerful. It makes me think of sunlit spring festivals, smiles, ruffles flowing through air, green branches and rippling streams. A tune about the sweetness of life.

I have been in love with this since I first saw Badlands many years ago. I think it is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard.

I grew up to this movie with my father and I’m sure I will come back to find this comment. I love you dad, I might not show it but I’m going to miss you when you’re gone. As a musician a lot of my music sounds whimsical like this, this is a song of freedom, just like William Forrester getting out of his cage. I hope I have the courage to get out of my cage

The end of "Finding Forrester" film. Great movie ending with a spectacular song. Thanks to all involved.

I really like this :) I'm german as Orff and for everyone who isn't familiar with our language a "Gassenhauer" is a word for a easy song sung or played on a street. Just to enjoy the audience for a short while. And I think that little piece achieves that. Orff was a music pedagogue and that song for sure made some kids happy again :)

Without exaggerating. The best piece of music my ears have ever heard.

I too fell in love with this peice of work years ago when i first heard it at the beginning of the movie,Badlands with Martin Sheen.hauntingly beautiful.

A work nothing short of genius.

when times were simpler and all round better. brings me back to my days as a youth.

It's composed by Hans Neusielder in 1536, Orff just rearranged it in his way. Marimba gives so much of "colonial heat" to that simple melody! :-)

Great ❤

One word: beautiful. It's no wonder this simple but effective piece has made its way into popular films such as Badlands and True Romance. Love it.

Turn the dial all the way to the right and dance. If this not make feel great your dead already! Always puts me in mind of this quote: “Dance as though no one is watching you, Love as though you have never been hurt before, Sing as though no one can hear you, Live as though heaven is on earth.” ― Souza

Now i know where Hans Zimmer got the inspiration for True Romance.

this is a very masterpiece! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ perfection.. genius

Gassenhauer is probably my faviorite piece by Orff.. Our local classical music station in DC played it as the beginning of one of their segments. Gassenhauer is part of his Schulwerk, which is music for children. I think it's a brilliant piece for children. If you listen carefully, you hear a single note; then additional notes are added until the entire orchestra is playing. I attend performances of Carmina Burana every time it's performed at the Kennedy Center here in DC... I will never tire of it.

I am shocked this song is nearly 100 years old, i wouldnt of guessed it was anymore then 20 wow, its ahead of its time i feel.

+Ross stewart Sorry to shock you again, it`s 500 years old. It was composed by Hans Neusiedler in 1540. Carl Orff and Hans Zimmer re-arranged it. Makes no difference, it stays wonderfull!!

The only flaw is that it's not long enough!

The amazing music ever over the credits for Terrence Malick's "Badlands"

Incredibly haunting & inspiring - an exceptional blend of simple yet complex tones & rythms resulting in a really happy sound I could easily listen to it all day

Brings back memories of visiting my Aunt, Uncle and cousins near Cleveland OH in the 1970s when this was played on the radio each morning.

The simplicity of it, the easiness of it, the way it travels from note to note with the flick of oil on tiles of glass. This piece of happiness and glory I have listened to all my adult life since I heard it on the film "Badlands", since then I have always let it into my heart and my soul by having all around the house and I hope everyone hears it too. This is my national anthem! Wow! It is me to a tee!

I didn t know this peace was from him even if true romance is one of my favorite music. Thanks for posting, great peace.

I've just listened to it once through, and I'll say that I didn't want it to end. I imagine it playing at a busy intersection with pedestrians crossing, and then dancing indefinitely.

I would've never heard this had it not been for "Badlands" with the beautiful Sissy Spacek. It was an addictive movie because of both main characters and the music score.

this would be the sound of happiness, if happiness could speak. just so wonderful!

I remember first hearing this song in Mad God and I was trying to find the name of the song for a good while. Glad I finally found it.

Finding Forrester, baby! You’re the man now Dog!

Once heard never forgotten

The true origin to this number is Ein Alten Gassenhauer ( An Old Street Ditty) made for the Lute by Hans Neusiedler in 1536, would you believe. If nothing else, this is a wellproven hit from the renaissance. One good version is made by Ronn McFarlane on Between two Hearts, Dorian rec (DDOR-90225) ´96... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Neusidler

This one reminds me of the movie "Finding Forrester" it was a soundtrack of it. A beautiful melody and amazing movie.

Its so simple but speaks volumes to me on the inside some how. I really love this song.

The Street Song takes the pieces of a broken childhood, Wipes the pain and scars from them. It magnifies and idealizes those pieces, Then sets them amongst the stars. Thank you Gunild Keetman, Carl Orff.

That's it man! I was watching the movie "true romance" and i knew I heard the song in the beginning somewhere then searched for "hans zimmer you're so cool cover" then found "Carl Orff - Gassenhauer" this video then saw your comment and riddle solved. Thanks man!

Badlands brought me her. ,many moons ago. Red wine brings me her now. Such phenomenal music. No matter how many times l hear it. Thank you.

I agree, most joyful and honest music I've ever heard.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT. I´ll try to do it with my pupils in next months.

Gorgeous, delicate and dynamic.

Ang saya ng tono!

When I hear this piece I can't help but smile and have my spirits lifted. J

I played this in a performance at my school last year and I couldn't remember the name of the song so now I am really happy! I mean after a year I finally found it!

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

unclelez...Gassenhauer has Always brought me to life when i feel down. i bought this vinyl recording back in 1978...and it still helps me

Yes I am and it took me forever to find this. I have to say I love this tune :)

This was written as an arrangment for school children, thank god it surpassed the kiddies, its inspirational! Hats off to carl Orff and the children, the only ones with a true heart!

What a genius! Anyone who can base some of his musical works on the writings of Friedrich Nietzsche at the age of 16 has to be a genius by anyone's standards. Wonderfully enthralling music.

First heard this on Finding Forrester in 2008. I was going through a box of stuff, found the movie. I watched it last night and decided to look up the song. Glad I did.

Teaching an 8 year old girl piano I taught her to understand chords, and to compose in improvisation before teaching her to read music. Obviously one must speak before one learns to read, and write. I used this as example of variations on a theme. I had her playing, and composing like a pro in 10 lessons. Must be why Orff included it in his schulwerk collection.

this song gives me goose bumps..is that beautiful...thank you!
