Enter Heino.

Noone - or nothing - stops Heino. His body is as strong as his voice.

How about an ananas?

Maggie Mae - I'm On Fire

Warning: this will get stuck in your head.

Snicksnack-Snuckelchen

Jayne Mansfield bist kein Snicksnack-Snuckelchen!

But poor little me is becoming a little seasick here watching this. Those big waves are all over the place. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Die blonden Mädchen

So I couldn't find the real EP cover for Antoine's Die blonden Mädchen, but I liked this one showing (I hope) the same Antoine, looking all green and dreamy.

Dig the nod to Sabre Dance in Die blonden Mädchen from Merci Cheri! Das is Wunderbar.

Hazy Osterwald - Konjunktur - Cha-Cha

Hazy Osterwald - Blame It on the Bossa Nova

Swiss band leader's sextet plays the 60's hit made famous by Eydie Gorme.


Schuld war nur der Bossa Nova

born loser

With a tittle like this you have to love this record! Dan Marshall "born loser" is available via Berlin Beatet Bestes. A blog mainly about odd german 45rpm records. New records every thursday.
a GREAT blog a new favorite of mine, run by a german cartoonist Andreas Michalke, a true records digger! Thanks for all these gems!

Sportpalast Twist

Berlin Beat Bestes enriched my music collection with a bunch of dorky-amazing tunes--and now he's added one more, a quintessentially German twist song, which is always cause for celebration.

Sportpalast Twist - Werner Mueller

Oh Johnny, Don't Park Here

Those saucy Chermans are at it again, sexy Laya Raki got herself banned from the radio in 1964 for her scandalous simulation of the boomsen on Oh Johnny Hier Nicht Parken.

Too Hot To Handle

Jayne Mansfield - Too Hot To Handle. Available thanks to Revenant Glint.


Wo Ist der Mann?

Gert Wilden

I've been in a real Gert listenin' mood lately.

Hallo, guten Morgen Deutschland

Lyrics here for sing-along,
Tack till Sunkit!

(Do Something to) That Tiger

I rely on the kindness of strangers, or at least internet buddies to cheer me when I am down. And you are all coming through! With such joys as this video from my last.fm pal mcyeager.

The Super Preachers

A cool french/german band ... The Super Preachers !
I feel happy!

Nina Hagen

Naturträne



another rendition with a little more light and a little less height



another song with a little more wig



a duet with Dieter Hallervorden

Who's Chucky?

How about some German pop music by German actress Uschi Glas? The English-spoken Wikipedia article about her doesn't even mention her singing career. But here's a proof of it:
I probably got it from Dans Mon Café and with Spiked Candy you'll have some more.

Singst du Deutsches?

"Blame it on the Bossa Nova"...."Walk, Don't Run"...."Honey"....the "Mr. Ed" theme song....and yes, even "Make Your Own Kind of Music". Like it or not, some day you will come to realize that cheesy American pop music simply sounds better when sung in German.
