Murmel somehow has 3 meanings: marbles, murmur and a marmot-like animal, usually in the Alps
Does "extend one's greetings" work better without saying to whom (real q)?
"Und täglich grüßt das Murmeltier"
is open for interpretations.
Such an expression of greeting could also be seen like "and issue X is back (to make trouble)"
Before the movie the tradition was totally unknown, and I don't think we have something comparable 🤔
Btw, 'marbles-animal' is right there
