Girls are now women's choice! is a slow foxtrot hit that Willy Richartz wrote for the Carl Froelich sound film Oberwachtmeister Schwenke . Pop poet Klaus S. Richter wrote the lyrics for it. The song was published in 1935 by the music publisher Beboton in Berlin.

background

The sound film Oberwachtmeister Schwenke showed a popular Schupo man in Berlin who is torn between love and duty. Gustav Fröhlich plays the sergeant . The premiere took place on January 14, 1935 in Berlin in the Ufa-Palast am Zoo . The film was also shown in Austria under the title Der Vielgeliebte .

The song, which was given the dance label “Rhinelander” on some labels , was also successful on the gramophone record and was recorded by numerous bands, with Erwin Hartung mostly serving as the chorus singer. Fritz Domina played it on crystal, the gramophone Oscar Joost on the Braun label, Eric Harden with Luigi Bernauer as chorus singer for Lindström's Gloria label , Eugen Jahn's band for Brillant Spezial, and Fredy's dance band for Elton's Stuttgart company Linter with singing of the Elton-Terzett and for the Austrian Paloma the orchestra of Georg Grüber with the singer Max Mentor. On the popular Telefunken label “Musikus”, the Musikus Dance Orchestra played it with a tenor solo (which remained anonymous). The vocal quartet Humoresk Melodios around the pianist Fried Walter also took the title into their repertoire.

The song is down to the refrain:

Girls, now it
's women's choice!
Look for the most beautiful man in the hall,
the best dance is always
ladies 'choice,
ladies' choice!

held instrumentally.

The song was also arranged for a brass band. " Horst Wende and The Sailors" played a modernized version in the boogie woogie rhythm on a vinyl single on Polydor in October 1960; Max Greger played the title with his big band on the double album Das Grosse Tanzturnier . Another variant appeared on various albums by Ernst Mosch and his original Egerland musicians.
