Sehr schöner Text im Guardian zu Layla:
They are loud in volume, unsophisticated in tune and often offensively bawdy in content. With titles ranging from Sex With a Bavarian to Big Tits Potato Salad, the ballermann sub-genre of schlager pop is a big hit in German-dominated nightclubs on the Balearic island of Mallorca, but is more likely to elicit winces of embarrassment or Fremdscham at home.
Yet this week German newspapers have been filled with detailed analysis of schlager song lyrics, and even the country’s justice minister felt inclined to share his musical taste after a Bavarian city decided to banish this holiday season’s ballermann hit from its beer halls for its sexist tendencies.
…
The German justice minister, Marco Buschmann of the liberal Free Democratic Party (FDP), himself a maker of electronic music in his spare time, joined the debate on Twitter: “You don’t have to like schlager lyrics. You can find them stupid and distasteful. But in my opinion an official ban is one step too far.”
Big Tits Potatoe Salad
