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

By	"flava_flav_anilla" (in the CONCRETE basement) - See all my reviews

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

By	J. Ortiz (San Juan, Puerto Rico United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Ich hab mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren, December 17, 2003

By A Customer

Hey Guys!
The translation of the title "Ich hab mein Herz in Heidelberg verloren" ist "I've lost my heart in Heidelberg" and it's not a story about Hertz experiences, it's about a man who's telling how he had fallen in love in Heidelberg. I just wanted to tell u this so you now what this song really is about. I please u to excuse my writingmistakes in this text, but I'm an original German not wearing lederhosen ;-)....PS: The song Lilly Marleen is not the best drink song,thats true but the writing with double e is correct, cause its a dialect...have fun,bye
