Last week I found a record in a local thrift store that is exactly the kind I had in mind when I started Berlin Beatet Bestes: silly, German and with a cartoon sleeve. It even rocks.
I posted the first Malepartus II. record last November. This, the second Malepartus II. single, was recorded by an entirely different band to cash-in on the success of Lisbeth, a cover version of Wild Thing. The original Malepartus II. group was actually the Kingbeats from Frankfurt. Their drummer Jürgen Zöllner later joined BAP and is still playing with them.
The cartoon sleeve was drawn by Will Halle, a cartoonist from Berlin. I already wrote a bit about him here.
Both songs stay within the initial novelty concept of mixing primitive Troggs-style Beat with silly German lyrics sung in the Hessian dialect. Fraa, bring de Äppelbrei! is about a hungry kid demanding his apple porridge. Ei Lorche is even more silly with lots of funny noises and lyrics about a parrot called Lorche that is driving his master crazy because it is talking too much.

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.
Killer hoch zehn. Hatte die andere auch schon vor Ewigkeiten gepostet.
Kennst du Adam und die Mickys? Ist ein weiteres Projekt der Hessen.
Danke. Adam und die Micky´s zweite Single hab ich letztes Jahr gepostet.

Das Cover hat ebenfalls Will Halle gezeichnet. Von den 28 Singles die sie sonst noch gemacht haben sind die Cover eins schlechter gezeichnet als das Andere. Ich würde jede sofort mitnehmen, wenn ich mal eine finden würde. Die Gruppe tritt übrigens immer noch auf, seit 40 Jahren.
N Kumpel hat ne Doppel 12″ von denen:

Aber “Isch glaab die hole misch ab!” ist in meinem Freundeskreis ne fest verankerte Hymne. So ein asozialer Text und genauso vorgetragen – Brett.
Glaub, einer von denen hat auch was mit den Rodgau Monotones zu tun.
Werd am WE deinen Blog genauer durchforsten.
