On the way to Bremen, they see a lighted cottage; they look inside and see four robbers enjoying their ill-gotten gains. Standing on each other's backs, they decide to perform for the men in hopes of gaining food. Their 'music' has an unanticipated effect; the men run for their lives, not knowing what the strange sound is. The animals take possession of the house, eat a good meal, and settle in for the evening.
Later that night, the robbers return and send one of their number in to investigate. It is dark, and he sees the eyes of the Cat shining in the darkness. He reaches over to light his candle, thinking he sees the coals of the fire. Things happen in quick succession; the Cat swipes his face with her claws, the Donkey picks up his hooves and kicks him, the Dog bites him on the leg, and the Rooster crows and chases him out the door, screaming. He tells his companions that he was beset by a horrible witch who scratched him with her long fingers( the Cat), a man with a knife (The dog), a monster who had hit him with a club (the Donkey), and worst of all, the devil who screamed from the rooftop (the Rooster). The robbers abandon the cottage to the strange creatures who have taken it, where the animals live happily for the rest of their days.

In the video game The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, the hero, Link, can receive a mask called the Bremen Mask by listening to the confession of its former owner, in which he tells Link that he once belonged to a musical animal troupe. There was a dog who was the leader of the troupe, and he wore the mask to signify that he was the leader. The man, jealous of being outdone by a dog, stole this mask and left the troupe. After finishing his story, he presents to Link the Bremen Mask, which is a white eagle's head with feather's dashing back, covering Link's ears. The upper beak covers his nose, however the lower beak doesn't cover his mouth. When worn, instead of drawing his sword, Link will rather put his ocarina to his mouth and march to a melody he plays. If puppies or young chicks are near, they will be attracted to the melody and march along behind him, barking and chirping to the rhythm.
 Persiflage by Heinrich-Otto Pieper A persiflage of this tale can be found on the wall in the Fort Napoleon, Oostende, Belgium. Heinrich-Otto Pieper, a German soldier during World War I painted the German and the Austro-Hungarian eagles throned on a rock, under the light of a Turkish crescent. They look with contempt on the futile efforts of the Town Musicians of Bremen to chase them away. These animals are symbols for the Allied Forces: on top the French cock, standing on the Japanese jackal, standing on the English bulldog, standing on the Russian bear. Italy is depicted as a twisting snake and Belgium a triciolored chafer. On Cartoon Network in between cartoon breaks during the "Out of Tune Toons" marathon and on Cartoonetwork Video, there are cartoon shorts of an animal band based of the tale called "The Bremen Avenue Experience" featuring a cat (Jessica), dog(Simon), donkey(Barret) and rooster(Tanner), they are either a modern adaption on the Bremen Town Musicians or desendents of the old musicians of Bremen. This is a list of idioms that were recognizable to literate people in the late 19th century, and have become unfamiliar since. ...
