Dajos Béla Tanz-Orch. - Mein Papagei frisst keine harten Eier, 1927

Mein Papagei frißt keine harten Eier(My Parrot Doesn’t Eat Hardboiled Eggs) Foxtrot (Text: Hermann Frey, Musk: Walter Kollo) -- Odeon Tanz-Orchester (Dajos Béla Tanz-Orch.) Odeon 1928 (recorded in Germany; Austrian pressing) NOTE: This foxtrot belongs to “eine grosse Familie“ of so-called “Nonsense-Schlager“ of the Roaring Twenties in Germany. Authors, such as among many others Herman Frey, Fritz Rotter, Beda or Raymond Klages achieved a peculiar perfection - uncomparably with any other nation - in creating the most absurde situations, which then served as titles of their foxtrots, onesteps or shimmies. The German nonsense-hit-parade of the Roaring Twenties includes such amazing titles, as “Tante Paula liegt im Bett und ißt Tomaten [..keine Suppe, Kein Gemüse keine Braten] (Aunt Paula lays in bed and eats tomatoes/ no soup, no meat no vegetables) Was macht der Maier am Himalaya (What Does Mr. Meyer in Himalaya) htt
