    Eine Redewendung?

    Ursprünglich wohl bezogen auf die Trapp-Familie:
    This Austrian commander of industry can be the Captain Georg von Trapp who leads our team away from the dark days headed our way. He can be the man at the top who can ‘Climb Evry Mountain’ and dare I say it even win the hearts of many a spirited convent girl. The mountains are calling and the hills are alive with ‘The Sound Of Music’

    Jetzt auch in anderem Zusammenhang:

    Shame we weren’t spoiled with the *sigh* context, but that phrase is often used sarcastically to comment on some overly “perfect” scenario.

    Das Lied kommt auch in Baz Luhrmanns "Moulin Rouge" vor, gesungen von Ewan McGregor. Da wird der Kitsch sehr schön persifliert.
