I have the video on my computer now so I can post it to youtube later, 
and you can all see it. Maybe help identify it.

I found the lyrics. This sheds a little light on the video clip 
referenced earlier. It is mainly clips of people engaged in outdoor 
activities, in keeping with the contents of the song's German lyrics.

 From wiki:

"Wochenend und Sonnenschein" ("Weekend and Sunshine") is a song with 
German lyrics that was copyrighted in 1930 by Charles Amberg (lyrics) 
and Milton Ager (music). The music is based on the famed American song 
"Happy Days Are Here Again" that was copyrighted in 1929 by Ager and 
Jack Yellen (English lyrics).

The German lyrics are very different in spirit from the English ones:

Tief im Wald nur ich und du,
der Herrgott drückt ein Auge zu,
denn er schenkt uns ja zum Glücklichsein
Wochenend und Sonnenschein.

which translates roughly as:

Only you and me, deep in the woods
The lord above turns a blind eye,
For he grants us for being happy
Weekend and sunshine.
