background
When composing the song, Remmler had based himself on couplets in the manner of Otto Reutter and recorded a demo version of the song in which he only accompanied himself on the piano .
When the song was recorded in the Vienna Studios in Vienna in 1986 , the arrangement of the composition by Christian Kolonovits was significantly expanded. In addition to the usual band line-up (guitar, bass, piano, drums), the brass orchestra and the male choir of the Police Music Vienna were used.
“Everything has an end, only the sausage has two” Remmler claims to have got to know as a proverb in his youth, without knowing any details about its prevalence at the time. In fact, the phrase had already been included in Wanders Deutsches Sprichormen-Lexikon in 1867 . It goes back to Francis Beaumont's comedy The Knight of the Burning Pestle, first published in 1613 , in which the vain Master Humphrey , often ridiculed by malapropism, in his advertisement for the beautiful young Luce to her father speaks of a poet's word that everything has an end, a black pudding but its two, and he asks not to find it strange if he puts his love in this bloody parable, which is more infinite than decrepit or intestines:
- Although, as writers say, all things have end,
- And that we call a pudding hath his two,
- Oh, let it not seem strange, I pray, to you,
- If in this bloody simile I put
- My love, more endless than frail things or gut!
In German, the expression was probably first introduced as a parodistic, ironic joke through Walter Scott's novel Woodstock, or: The Cavalier of 1826, of which four translations into German appeared in the same year. In that of Karl Florentin Leidenfrost it says: “Every thing has an end,” said the mayor, “and a sausage has two ends - Ew. Graces will forgive that I like to have fun. "
publication
Everything has an end only the sausage has two appeared in autumn 1986 as the last song on Remmler's debut album Stephan Remmler . A single release was not initially planned. However, Gottlieb Wendehals and James Last released cover versions as single in late 1986, with the Wendehals version making it into the charts. Then Remmler's original was also released as a single, which reached number three in the German single charts. The song became a carnival hit of 1987.
In 1987 Remmler released another newly recorded version of the song as a single, the "minced meat version" and designed as a rock song .
Another interpretation was published in 1999 by the German singer Tom Angelripper .
