Polonäse Blankenese is the best known and most successful song by Werner Böhm , which he presented in the role of the fictional character Gottlieb Wendehals . The song - text by Michael Jud - reached number 1 in the German charts in November 1981 and stayed there for a total of nine weeks until February 1982. In 1982, the single was awarded a gold record in Germany for over 250,000 copies sold , which means the song is still today has been one of the best-selling German-language hits since 1975 . A party polonaise cited in 1982 on the occasion of the song by Gottlieb Wendehals with 250,000 participants at the Hamburg Inner Alster made it into the Guinness Book of Records . Polonaise Blankenese is a mood song . During the live performances on television, Gottlieb Wendehals often ran with a briefcase, rubber chicken and checked jacket at the head of a dance group who held their shoulders. In the lyrics there is a conundrum in which a frivolous word ( tits ) is replaced by a harmless one: “We set off with really big steps, and Erwin takes Heidi by the shoulder from behind.” Grand Jojo sang this song in French : Jules César.
