Remarks

A kind of characteristic of Edda Schnittgard is her corpulent figure. During the exchange of words between her and her partner Ina Müller, who caused a sparkling pun when Queen Bees appeared, Schnittgard's voluminous body was not infrequently discussed, for example her "hobby of sitting ", whereby both Müller commented on the body mass of her heavy partner in biting comments Schippe took ("I have legs, you have rammers; I am the yacht and you the steamer!"), As well as Schnittgard himself frequently, e.g. B. in some of the duo's songs, self-confidently and self-ironically dealt with the "figure problem".
