nice catch. yeah i googled amblin alp because i had this image of a giant man mountain like buddha wandering around spreading a message of peace and standing up to adversity. Then I found out it was old time boxing legend, Primo's nickname. Then I read Schmelling in the lyrics and it clicked. He was the Nazi's olympic superman, so the song had to be about the legend of the Brown Bomber. I'm not sure hipsters are exactly well known for their sense of history, though. Sense of retro maybe. Not the same thing.
