content
The song is written in the Viennese dialect and begins with the words:
Today the g'schupfte Ferdl ziagt (= pulls) fresh socks on
green and yellow striped, that's so elegant
smeared his curls with the finest brillantine
cleans himself (ch) d 'Schuach and afterwards he hits him in the Gwand
Because with Thumser outside in Neulerchenfeld is perfection
Pale Gustav
The German version of the song begins with the words:
Today the pale Gustav draws pure socks
Freshly washed by Ms Schulz where he lives
lubricates with the finest Brillantine his locks on
Taking the shirt made of nylon, which he otherwise so gentle
because his sports club, Eintracht is, is today a ball
history
This song was Bronner's greatest success. The inspiration for this gave him his own experience: Bronner forgot his briefcase in the premises of the Vienna dance school Thumser in Neulerchenfeld , which was used as a radio studio during the day. When he picked her up in the evening, a fight broke out there. Bronner remembered this song when he was driving home on the Vienna Electric Light Rail.
For the time being, however, he couldn't find a publisher or record company, as they were of the opinion that the song was far too long and that no one outside of Vienna understood it. Bronner had the record produced himself in small numbers. When the Thumser dance school complained that there were no such brawls with them, Bronner had to destroy the remaining records. Since the newspaper reported about this incident, many people wanted to hear this song. Then Bronner took it up again, but changed the name Thumser to a fictional Wimmer. A few years later, Helmut Qualtinger recorded the song , again with the original text: Thumser.
Bronner wrote a High German version for Germany: Der pale Gustav . In 1958 Georg Kreisler recorded an English version of the song called Dirty Ferdy .
