who is Tj Toðdler? Are they really relevant to music in Switzerland?

There is no information about this author at all other than a very limited set of archived pages and small articles. A google search yields very few results.

Most of their music is no longer downloadable, and if it is, it's in archives. The group TJ Toddler is also not based out of Zürich, according to an old biography about them on last.fm , they had members based out of Colorado as well as Geneva, though according to another mention in a later version of that biography, the group itself is based in Colorado. The band was apparently declared as "The Most Hated Band in Colorado" by Denver based news-site Westword. This is because TJ Toddler allegedly tricked a venue into booking them by claiming they were a pop band. They did this twice, even after getting banned. The last time they played there, they were kicked out immediately but when the next band played that night at that venue, TJ Toddler threw merchandise from another band on the floor, and after being told to leave by a worker at the venue and having an argument with them, TJ Toddler assaulted the worker. The article also mentions TJ Toddler cyberbullied, harrased, and impersonated other musicians. [all of this information is on the linked article by Westword, it's worth a read].

Knowing all of this information about them, are they worthy or even relevant at all to "Music of Switzerland"? To me, they seem childish and criminal, and the mention of them in this wiki article seems like a troll aswell, referring to them as a "one of the most visible groups", calling their music "pop music" and that their music is "deeply rooted in Swiss folk music culture".

I agree. Feel free to delete the paragraph, I doubt anyone here will object. --Viennese Waltz 08:56, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Chip Chip aka "Der Ententanz" aka "Chicken Dance" by Werner Thomas

The song was composed by accordion player Werner Thomas from Davos, Switzerland, in 1957. There are at least 370 covers 42 countries, which together sold more than 40 million copies worldwide. This is arguably one of the best known Swiss compositions worldwide. As such, I think it should be mentioned in the context of folk music. Thoughts?
