5.0 out of 5 stars Greatest Album to Come from Germany in the last 50 years!, October 29, 2000

This review is from: German Beer Drinking Songs (Audio CD)

These are the GREATEST German beer songs ever! What ingenuity, what novelty! The lyrics of "Ich Hab Mein Herz In Heidelberg Verloren" astounded me, my literal translation of this song title is "I have my Hertz In Heidelberg, Darling" and it is all about a gentleman who walks into a bar and orders a beer, bemoaning his fate to be stuck with a Hertz Sales Receptionist from Heidelberg. Ah, the sweet sorrow of it all. These songs are drunk best with beer. So have your bartender pull you a tall Pilsner while you sit back and enjoy the bittersweet nostalgia of these great german songs.

4.0 out of 5 stars Munich, Germany and it's 1957, May 12, 2004

This review is from: German Beer Drinking Songs (Audio CD)

I was 10 years old when my parents bought this LP to play in our new Stereo Record Player. You see, my father was in the Army and my family joined him in 1957 for a three year tour of duty in Munich. This is genuine Oktoberfest Music to which I was exposed at that age. Many of these songs are now "corny", as I learned when I revisited Munich in Spring 2001. I love them and they bring joyous childhood memories to me. I have been looking for this "album" for many years because the original copy can no longer be played. I even looked for it in Munich back in 2001 to no avail. Thanks, Amazon for finding it for me. Maybe someone out there will enjoy at much as I did and will continue to do so.

After listening in several CD's we ordered it, because it perfectly complements the "Oktoberfest in Munich" CD. Both together can be used the whole evening as authentic background music for an Oktoberfest party.
