content
In three stanzas with a refrain , the dreams of working women of a successful weekend with their lover are described. In the first stanza it is Miss Josephin ', who is dreaming at the typewriter and whose superior suddenly pulls a sheet of paper out of the machine on which it is written what should happen on Sunday, "if the winds blow". In the second stanza, the school councilor Kraus wants to forbid her maid Minna to go out on Sundays, whereupon she explains howling that she cannot hold back ten horses because her sweetheart wants to go sailing with her on Sunday. In the third stanza it is generalized: "All girls feel like this [...]" - they want to enjoy the togetherness with their "sailor" on Sunday, because "that would be nice".
history
Early recordings of the foxtrot were made by Dajos Béla (1929), Erwin Bolt (1929), Paul Godwin and Heinz Wernicke (1929), the Karkoff Orchestra (a collective pseudonym, which in this case probably hid Efim Schachmeister and his musicians) , by Barnabás von Géczy and his orchestra (1929) and by Raimund Gessner as singer in the Eddy Walis orchestra (1929). With a female and a male voice, the song was recorded on Tri-Ergon Photo-Electro-Records ; Sina Lenora sang here with Harry Jackson's dance orchestra.
As early as 1929 a modification of the hit song was distributed in which the third verse had been exchanged for another: Now it was a blond gentleman in the Eldorado bar who dreamed of his sweetie, to whom he would "supper on the sailing boat at sunset" wanted to prepare. A recording of this version of the song with tenor Theo Lucas and pianist Karl Rockstroh was made in the Vox house .
In 1961 the hit was used as film music for the film of the same name with Harald Juhnke and Vivi Bach . A recording by Dany Mann with the Old Merry Tale jazz band was used. This version reached number four in the German single charts in 1961 and stayed in the top 10 for three months and in the hit parade for six months. There is also a recording with Wencke Myhre from 1969. There is also a Beatles recording on Private Tapes 1 .
