The story behind the song

This Karussell song paints a picture of a man named McDonald, so consumed by his work that he's always running, shearing "a thousand sheep a year." His partner, feeling overlooked, decides she will be "sheep thousand and one" just to get his attention. It's a poignant reflection on the struggle to connect with someone constantly busy, highlighting the quiet desperation of feeling like just another task on their endless to-do list. The song appeared on Karussell's 1979 album, Entweder oder.
