I’ve just read that the Munich Beer Festival has banned "alcohol popsicles" and pop music to stop the event turning into a "drunken orgy". Scenes of drunken girls dancing semi-naked on the backs of male party-goers or on tables were flashed around the world last year. Oktoberfest organisers now want to return to the festival's roots by concentrating on beer steins and traditional brass bands.
Festival organiser Gabriele Weishaeupl said: "It has begun to turn into an orgy for party animals. The tents are not supposed to be discos, but should remain traditional Bavarian beer tents. "Last year was one of the bawdiest years ever, with many an exposed nipple as well as the huge quantities of alcohol consumed."Alcopops have been banned and beer tent owners have agreed to refrain from playing popular hits such as DJ Otzi's Hey Baby and Lou Bega's Mambo No 5.I am not sure but Oktoberfest 2005 could become a boring experience.
I wonder what will be banned after we have been there.

But will they ever answer the question about Alice?
The lack of hard core party songs like "Hey Baby", "Take M eHome, Country Road", and of course "Sierra Madre", how could one enjoy the bier and festivities?
There is something to be said about "many an exposed nipple", though.
I second Barbus's question. What did we miss last year? Oh well. Maybe this year will have some room in the tents for our large group. Paulaner Girl must behave.
Repeat after me...
Kann ich das Bier weg von Ihren Nippeln lecken?
I will make sure Paulaner Girl behaves....
