BRING ME EDELWEISS features many samples. The primary sample, which the song's chorus is based on, is ABBA's SOS. ABBA usually do not allow other artists to sample their music, and they claimed Edelweiss never contacted them and never had permission to sample SOS. But, members of Edelweiss claim that they managed to get one of ABBA's publishers to provide them with a contract during a drunken phone call in broken English.
Other samples include the 'Ow!'s from ROCK ME AMADEUS by Falco, sections of Indeep's 1983 hit LAST NIGHT A DJ SAVED MY LIFE, Gary Glitter's ROCK AND ROLL, The Sweet's BLOCK BUSTER!, and the 'Ah yeah' from Run-DMC's HERE WE GO (LIVE AT THE FUNHOUSE.)
Yodeling is also common throughout the song, and the female vocals are provided by Austrian singer Maria Mathis.
