Notes

  • The title recalls The Sound of Music, a 1965 film about a German-singing family in Salzburg.
  • At 0:08, just as the Tank crashes through a beer garden, a beer stein is already on the ground in the foreground. The beer stein features a red cross on a white shield on the chest of a German eagle, likely the coat of arms of Rottenburg.
  • Even though the Sniper at 0:12 can be seen taking his Reanimator, he was not revived on-screen. During the final shot, the Sniper is shown alive again.
  • At 0:12, the scene is mirrored, as evidenced by Heavy and Sniper's gear being positioned differently.
  • At 0:12, the Soldier and Pyro were not seen taking their Reanimators, yet at 1:08, the Soldier and Pyro's Reanimators can be seen; then at 1:18, their Reanimators disappear and they're revived.
  • At 0:15, the rocket Soldier fired has the grenade arc effect, like in the Meet The Medic video
  • At 0:22, the Medic's footsteps reuse the Combine's footsteps from Half-Life 2.
  • From 0:23 to 0:30 explosion sounds from Half-Life 2 are played instead of normal Team Fortress 2 sounds.
  • From 0:40 a fragment of Medic! can be heard playing in reverse as Heavy is revived.
  • At 1:05, the Soldier Robots came from the room where the pit is located.
  • 1:17 is a play on the "Three-Wise Monkeys", "See no evil" with Pyro covering their eyes, "Speak no evil" with Scout covering his mouth, "Hear no evil" with Heavy covering his ears, and "Do no evil" with Soldier covering his genitals.
  • At 1:22 the Medic performs his class selection menu animation.
  • At 1:25 before the MvM logo is bolted onto a German version of the Mann Co. Shipping sign, it reads "Mann Co. Versand" with words underneath saying "Lieferdienst & Schlägertruppe"
    • Versand means "Delivery" or "Shipping",Lieferdienst means "delivery service", and Schlägertruppe means a "gang of thugs", which is a team of hired enforcers or (in this case) mercenaries.
  • At 1:26, the top left arm stamping the MvM logo bears the Red Heavy emblem.
  • At 1:28, the Heavy can be seen wielding an Australium version of the Minigun.
  • At 1:30, a bird (likely Archimedes) is seen standing on the Medic's backpack.
  • At 1:29 and 1:33, when the Soldier fires his Rocket Launcher, a Sentry Gun rocket firing sound is played instead.
