Amalie goes with the rubber cavalier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Amalie geht mit'm Gummikavalier is the referee of a one-step song for which the Leipzig hit and revue composer Siegwart Ehrlich wrote music and text and published it in 1927 by Rondo-Verlag Berlin. The two-trophic song is classified as a summer or bathing season hit . The song found in the revue Strictly prohibited! Use that James Klein performed at the Komische Oper Berlin in 1927 .

Refrain

Amalie goes with a rubber cavalier,
with a rubber cavalier in the bathroom.
Amalie goes with a rubber cavalier,
with a rubber cavalier in the bathroom.
And she blows, and she blows him up quickly,
on the North Sea, Baltic Sea, Wannsee, Swinoujscie.
Amalie goes with a rubber cavalier,
with a rubber cavalier in the bathroom.

background

The title sounds more slippery than it is, because in the 1920s a rubber cavalier was simply an inflatable swimming aid .

At the time of its creation, "Amalie ..." was played on gramophone records by well-known orchestras from the late Weimar Republic such as Dajos Béla , Paul Godwin and Gabriel Formiggini ; the performing artist Engelbert Milde sang it with the “Odeon” dance orchestra without mentioning his name on the label. The play was also successful abroad; in Poland, for example, the band leader Henryk Gold took on his jazz orchestra for the Syrena record label.

The song was still valued after 1945 and was taken into the repertoire of various artists, including the “Dixie-Kavalieren”, the Munich concert hustle and bustle around Lothar Lägel, Max Raabe with his palace orchestra and the Finnish pop artist Mauri Antero Numminen and his “Rustic Neo -Jazz Orchestra ”.

Even the men's choir "Berliner Hymnentafel" put "Amalie goes with 'm Gummikavalier" on the program for its 30th anniversary in 2004.

A rubber cavalier is not a hallodri , but a swimming aid. In the 1920s, the profane swim ring was also called a rubber cavalier , because it carries you across the water as if on hands ”and finally,“ In the 1930s, a swim ring or swim ring was referred to as a so-called rubber cavalier. The term also became known through the hit from 1927 "Amalie goes with a rubber cavalier" by Siegwart Ehrlich.
