ONKEL TEDDY UND SEINE ROCKING BOYS, Bier her, 1961

Actually this song was on a record that I sadly failed to rescue from destruction, last time Frank and I did AUKTION-DESTRUKTION. Somehow nobody bid on a compilation EP with German drinking-songs “For Adults only” that Frank put up for auction. So Frank eventually had to break it.
Anyway, here`s Uncle Teddy and his Rocking Boys singing “Gimme beer – or I`ll fall over!”. Although the lyrics go so far as to threaten to “topple the whole bar” if they don`t get beer right away, it sounds more interesting on paper than it actually is. Given the German love for beer the idea of a Rock`n`Roll band doing a drinkin song seems only natural. Only Uncle Teddy and his Rocking Boys are not a Rock`n`Roll band. That is not to say that the song is not interesting and as you`ve come to expect on this site: who cares…

About me:
My name is Andreas Michalke. I´m a cartoonist from Berlin, Germany and I like collecting records. Most of the records I find in thrift stores or at flea markets here in Berlin. I like a lot of music but I thought I`d focus on odd German records. Preferably with cartoon covers.
All my scans are high-resolution. If you double-click on them they will get much bigger.
I have this 45 with Picture Cover. PROST !
