chronology
Spitalo Fatalo À la carte Money or life!

The fourth music album by the Austrian rock band Erste Allgemeine Verunsicherung , released in 1984, is à la carte .

background

The album mainly contains songs that have already been played on stage as part of the live show Spitalo Fatalo (or in the later expanded version of the show), but have no longer found a place on Spitalo Fatalo or were not finished in time. Klaus Eberhartinger called À la carte an interim solution, as the tried and tested Spitalo Fatalo program continued to be performed after this album was released. Only Guru was added to the show as a new song.

The single Go, Karli, Go reached number 6 in the Austrian charts. In 1987 this song was also included on the compilation Die neue Muntermacher by K-Tel . Aloahe was previously published as The Bride and the Sailor (Version Albern Hans) with identical text, but different production. Schwein-Funk was also released as a single, but neither of them could be placed in the charts.

Klaus Eberhartinger was the singer for six of the ten tracks, Die Intellektuellen and Heavy-Metal-Pepi were sung by Bottazzi, Knieweich recited by Eik Breit, and Liebelei by producer Peter Müller in the style of Hans Moser .

Musically, À la carte is quieter than its predecessor, Spitalo Fatalo, and has no reference to current music trends. Lyrically there are again some critical songs ( Oh Bio Mio targets the ecological movement of the eighties, knee soft the philistinism, guru the profiteering with religion, the intellectuals pointless brooding intellectuals) and some primarily humorous songs ( Go Karli Go about an aspiring music star, pigs -Funk about the life and sorrows of a pig, aloahe and love affair ). The songs Wir jetten and Heavy Metal Pepi are about drinking brothers and tough guys, without being particularly critical.

The text of Schwein-Funk was written by Eberhartinger and Spitzer when they were at school together. In the play Susie (1985) by Franz Bäck and Herwig Kaiser, in which Thomas Spitzer wrote the lyrics and Gert Steinbäcker the associated music, there is a very clear allusion to this song and Thomas Spitzer. Fridolin, who wants to become a rock star, is writing a song text and asks another person: "What rhymes with the one who is doing well, the other one is dirty ?" The other person named Tohu Wabohu replies: "The sausage is round, the toast is square". Fridolin in turn: " The sausage is round, the toast is square, one is fine, the other is dirty. I'm lying in front of them." In the pork funk , the toast turned into a rusk.
