Could this cabaret song, performed in, mostly, English by Austrian Comedian Helmut Qualtinger (deceased now) be adapted for a Favorite Aeros player, who now skates in Germany? The Austrian Bundesbahn (Railroad) does cross over into Germany :-)
If one substitutes Pauly for Baby (or even Matty-alas he is not known to be in Europe).
Try it
Am daily newly amazed what one can discover on You Tube or other sources..
Haven't heard Qualtinger readings or singings in decades. Unless I put on my, by now rather scratchy, old LP or 45s. Especially the 45s with Qualtinger and Bronner on the piano lampooning Austrian and other characters. Such satire, irony, tongue-in-cheek treatment. One song, "Der Papa wird's scho richten"...freely translated: Papa will take care of it (with help of cronies)- actually caused the resignation of an Austrian Politico. It's been my experience that in dictatorship or similar government satire flourishes - underground. It was the case in South Africa in the days of apartheid. Funky, dark cellar bars, where the smoke was so thick you could not see the top of the guy sitting across the table, comedians sang in alliterations and veiled hints.. And no lawsuit in sight in those days...people enjoyed the satires, the surreal, the scurrilous as long NO actual names given.
The David and Goliad... the mighty bowing before the mini ;-)
Orwellian, perhaps?I seem to have read, that '1984' has been deleted from some 'books on the web' site. Really ?
