It's my understanding that there is candy in them?
Do kids get them every school year, or just when they start grade school?
Loads of candy...
Well, I expected them every school year, but unfortunately, you get them only when you start. One of my first major disappointments in life when I realized that...

Du kannst nich immer kriegen, was Du haben willst.
But you find sometimes, you get what you need....CANDY!!
It's candy and fruit and the like in there, and maybe some useful items like pens. But you'll get the Schultüte only once in your life, on the very first day you ever go to school, first day of first grade.
I still have the pic of my first school day, freshly combed, best clothes on, proudly, a bit shyly presenting the Schultüte on the stairs to the school's main gate. That are memories: 1965 and all innocent.
This is so cool thank you for sharing such a cool German tradition, I'm from New Zealand and we culturally appropriate everything around us that we like as a matter of course
In the last 30 Years, Thai & Mexican Cuisine has become a favorite sit down, Kids beat Mexican Pinata's at their birthdays along with traditional pin the tail on the donkey, pass the parcel and Musical Chairs, but this sounds awesome. I could see this becoming a thing here, it's too cute, sharing, introductory for a little child for it not too be... beautiful
Yesss!!
I don't really think so. The closest I can think is the "woo woos" on Sympathy but thats pretty different. Same with Brown Sugar and the "yeah yeah woos" at the end. Other than that they have choruses that are super recognizable like Start Me Up or Ruby Tuesday but thats also pretty different than the Hey Jude singalong.
Do any get sung at football matches?

I was 12 years old for the first show and 13 for the second. It was an awakening for a very young girl after a time of great sadness in the US and in my personal life (dad passed when I was very young.) The music opened my ears. Those harmonies!!! Paul opened my eyes lol...he was (is) so damn beautiful!! I had to BEG my mom for the money to go. I remember that one of the shows was under $6.00! In those days, the tickets arrived in the mail. I don't remember the ordering process at all. It was also a time when it was safe for young girls to travel around NY on bus and subway although the first year, my mom did take us. A different world.

. I found this as a nice example to illustrate what a Schultüte is, which apparently has no equivalent outside the German speaking world.

I'm glad about the interest you show SKILLS. Actually, till now I wasn't even aware that the Schultüte is a specific German tradition. I see it as a very nice way to sweeten the child's first step into adult life. And, at that (post-war) time, the sweets and things you got were also something special, and, after so many years I do still vividly remember the excitement and all.

Here's a nice read on "Hey Jude". It shows the song as one of the greatest singalongs - and popular Beatles song - ever recorded. Is it? Is there any song by the Stones that's comparable i terms of being sung, essentially, everywhere for various occasions?

Speaking of which, getting anxious to here more updates on the Deluxe,
And while we're at it, the Beggars Deluxe...not sure if that's actually going to happen, though several insiders said it was being talked about.

The earliest memory is I heard it played at least two times an hour on the radio. That's one of my markers to know how old I was when I first became a fan. I was 5 in 1968. I used to wait impatiently for Paul's scream and Ringo's little drum solo near the end. Those were the days!

I’m a bit younger and didn’t hear it until 1973 when my dad bought ‘the blue album 1967-70’ compilation for his then new Sony Stereo.
Brilliant singalong live. The tune is often used as a football chant and my own club (Heart of Midlothian aka ‘Hearts’, Edinburgh, Scotland) regularly play it on the PA as goal celebration music.
A classic, which will still be listened to in another 50 years.

In the spring of 1969, when I started collecting 45s, I asked my mother if she could pick this up for me. But by that time, it had fallen out of the Hot 100, and the record department at Macy's or whatever was no longer stocking it. She brought home their new one instead, "Get Back." That was my first 45. Unless it was "Hair" by the Cowsills. I can never remember.
