Beda Chanson‘s "Ausgerechnet Bananen"
Friedrich Löhner-Beda (1883-1942) was one of the most successful Austrian writers of lyrics for popular music and cabarets in the 1920s and early 30s, usually signing as "Beda" weblink. He translated/adapted Frank Silver‘s/Irving Cohn‘s song "Yes, We Have No Bananas" (released 1923 (!)) into german. While the original makes fun of a fruitshop-owner who cant say "we run out of bananas", Beda‘s german version is the lamento of a beau/Don Juan about the capricious demands - the fruit being the symbol of the exotic back then and hard to find in Europe - of the adored lady. "Ausgerechnet Bananen" translates as: "Of all things, bananas (Bananas she‘s asking of me)". english/german lyrics
