I missed the beginning of your Seemann conversation, so I don't know the original question. However, there was a "hit" of this song sung by Lolitta. I believe that this song also enjoyed some popularity at that time in the USA. I imagine in Germany, the song is considered an Evergreen. One hears it sometimes still at Germanfests in the USA.
