Actually, she got it from an old song. At least that's what Wikipedia says.
Ah, OK. Interesting, I didn't know that!
Ah, dat Beugelbuddelbeer... wat mutt dat mutt, och in uns niemoodsche Tied! :) Am besten man gleich as Lütt un Lütt! ;)
Hm, I really want to learn Platt at some time in the future.* Right now my limited knowledge really shows. Never heard "niemoodsche" before, and I'm not sure what "as Lütt und Lütt" means, except for that Lütt means "klein". But that doesn't help me that much. ^^
"Lütt un Lütt" is a (small) beer and a small Schnaps. :)
*But I don't know, which kind of platt I should learn... as someone from Hamburg maybe it would be best to learn "Missingsch", as that was the most common dialect around here, I think. ^^
Ah, yeah, that'd be interesting, too. ^^ Might be worth checking if there's any courses for that; I know one university (can't recall which, though) had courses in Mooring at some point, so Missingsch might also be available if you're lucky. Or check your local VHS - they should have some sort of Plattdüütsch at least, one hopes.
Or pester your grandparents, if they're still alive and from the region. ;)

But with Rhapsody of Epicness (What? Epicness isn't a word?), it would be perfect.
If it wasn't a word before, it is now. :) And hey, it beats "epicicity", which is what I would've come up with myself. ;)
