Zurich's Song

Zurich, the Cultural Capital of Switzerland and the city with the best quality of life in the world, has its own song. Zurich Tourism created a video that shows the nicest places in and around the city underlined by a pop song. I like the song, but what bothers me is that the lyrics are in German language instead of Swiss German dialect.

Don’t get me wrong, I like German lyrics, but here we’re talking about a song that is representing the most popular city in Switzerland. Since the main language spoken in Zurich is Swiss German, I think it is more than obvious that the song should be sung in Swiss German too. It is the same like having a song representing the City of Houston, Texas, where the singer sings with a very thick Scottish accent. Well, I like the song. Nonetheless, I’d rather have Plüsch, Florian Ast, or even Gölä singing and representing Switzerland.
