On December 21st, 2023, the song was first posted onto WatZatSong by a user named "h0g3w3g". The song had the tags, "Rock" and "German" and the description of the sample was:
"I know that the song is a contrafactum of "smoke on the water" from Deep Purple. The first time I heard this song was around 2010. I know that I got hold of it on a CD with other songs from various artists. I think they were all new music that someone in my family bought/got. This was the only mysterious song on it as far as I remember, but I can't check the CD because I lost it over the years. The CD itself was burned by the person I got it from. If I remember correctly, I got it from an aunt of mine, but I can't ask her since she passed away in 2014. Others in my family don't know this song, so I think that I am the only one who got it from her. I am from around Moers/Duisburg in Germany. So I have looked for some local bands, but I couldn't find any that sounded similar. The Lyrics as far as I understand them: Wer hat den Vater Rhein in seinem Bett gesehen? Man kann die Fische gar nicht sehen. Dreck is' im Wasser. Dreck is' im Wasser. Steckst du ein Bein in Rhein hinein, Dann is et plötzlich klein. Dreck is' im Wasser. Dreck is' im Wasser. Der Oppa sagt: "Wat is denn dat?" Da sagt dat Kind: "Mein Bein is' ab." Wat schwimmt denn da so schön im Rhein? Da sagt dat Kind: "Dat is' mein Bein." Dreck is' im Wasser. Dreck is' im Wasser. Der Oppa springt in Rhein hinein und holt vom Kind dat abpe/appe(?) Bein. Der Oppa, ja, der kriegt dat Bein. Wat is' denn dat, der is' ja ganz klein? Dreck is' im Wasser. Dreck is' im Wasser. Dreck is' im Wasser. Dreck is' im Wasser. Mit 'nem Käscher holen se den Oppa rein. Der Opa is' ganz klein. Dat Kind fin(d)et dat gar nich' fein. Dreck is' im Wasser. Dreck is' im Wasser. Und die Moral von der Geschicht'. Geh' nich' in Rhein, hinein geh' nich:. Fühls' du dich groß, dann geh' in Rhein. Et dauert nich' lang, dann bisse klein."
He would also post a Youtube upload of the song, with the description being:
DE: Ich weiß, dass das Lied ein Kontrafaktum von „Smoke on the Water“ von Deep Purple ist. Sowohl der Titel als auch der Künstler sind unbekannt. Im Netz ist es bisher auch nicht auffindbar. Ich habe das Lied auch auf watzatsong hochgeladen, um es dort zu finden. Das Lied muss vor 2010 herausgekommen sein. Ich halte es für wahrscheinlich, dass der Titel "Dreck is im Wasser" lautet. EN: I know the song is a counterfactual of “Smoke on the Water” by Deep Purple. Both the title and the artist are unknown. I haven't been able to find the song on the internet yet. I also uploaded the song to watzatsong. The song must have been released before 2010. I think it's likely that the title is "Dreck is im Wasser".
On August 17th, 2024, popular lostwave poster, "Ziro" would reupload the song onto Youtube and onto her channel, to hopefully get the song more attention and traction.

Wer hat den Vater Rhein in seinem Bett gesehen?
Man kann die Fische gar nicht sehen.

Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.

Steckst du ein Bein in Rhein hinein,
Dann is et plötzlich klein.
[Chorus]
Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.
[Verse 3]
Der Oppa sagt: "Wat is denn dat?"
Da sagt dat Kind: "Mein Bein is' ab."
Wat schwimmt denn da so schön im Rhein?
Da sagt dat Kind: "Dat is' mein Bein."
[Chorus]
Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.
[Verse 4]
Der Oppa springt in Rhein hinein
und holt vom Kind dat abpe/appe(?) Bein.
Der Oppa, ja, der kriegt dat Bein.
Wat is' denn dat, der is' ja ganz klein?
[Chorus]
Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.
[Verse 5]
Mit 'nem Käscher holen se den Oppa rein.
Der Opa is' ganz klein.
Dat Kind fin(d)et dat gar nich' fein.
[Chorus]
Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.
[Verse 6]
Und die Moral von der Geschicht'.
Geh' nich' in Rhein, hinein geh' nich.
Fühls' du dich groß, dann geh' in Rhein.
Et dauert nich' lang, dann bisse klein.
[Chorus]
Dreck is' im Wasser.
Dreck is' im Wasser.
[Verse 1]
Who saw Father Rhine in his bed?
You can't even see the fish.
[Chorus]
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
[Verse 2]
If you put your foot in the Rhine,
Then suddenly it's small.
[Chorus]
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
[Verse 3]
The grandpa says: "What is that?"
Then the child says: "My leg is off."
What is floating so beautifully in the Rhine?
Then the child says: "That's my leg."
[Chorus]
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
[Verse 4]
The oppa jumps into the Rhine
and picks up the child's leg.
Oppa, yes, he'll get his leg.
What's that, it's really small?
[Chorus]
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
[Verse 5]
They'll bring in the grandpa with a cashier.
Grandpa is very small.
That kid doesn't think it's good at all.
[Chorus]
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
[Verse 6]
And the moral of the story'.
Don't go into the Rhine, don't go in.
If you feel big, then go to Rhine.
It doesn't take long, then it's a bit small.
[Chorus]
There's dirt in the water.
There's dirt in the water.
