Central Scrutinizer Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 So that was #1 in Australia when you were born? I was thinking that an Elvis hit would be on top when I was born. Nope, Les Paul. Well, at least not as old as Eyebee ... yet! Wonder who was at the top of the charts when he was born? They had electricity then didn't they?

Flashermac Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Lili Marleen was written by Hans Leip in 1915. But it wasn't put to music until around 1939 - and recorded by Lale Andersen. It was my father's favourite song -- probably most vets' favourite, both sides. My parents were fantastic ballroom dancers -- even taught dancing when my dad retired. Any time a band played Lili Marleen, my folks were out on the dance floor in a flash. I remember how the other dancers would sit down just so they could watch them. p.s. Used to piss off the Froggies when the Yanks sang it in France, which was reason enough to sing it all the time. One of my dad's friends had a cuckoo clock that played Lili Marleen on the hour.

Flashermac Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 << Nope, Les Paul. >> Oh, my ... Les Paul & Mary Ford. Les Paul more or less invented the electric guitar. And look at what he started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
