'Schon' being already, 'schön' being beautiful. Translates literally as 'with me you are beautiful', probably means 'to me you are beautiful'... |

Don't forget about Ludwig!  |
| TheLoneIguana (Fresno, CA) | Posted: Jan 25, 2005 - 10:35 Great harmonies. The Flying Neutrinos do a cool version of this, btw. |
| pleseq (New York City) | Posted: Jan 25, 2005 - 10:34 Originally from an old Yiddish musical. You can hear it in the melody structure. |
| masterhead (Sacramento, Ca) | Posted: Jan 25, 2005 - 10:33 What a treat! I first heard about the Andrews sisters to my first In laws, and since then I totally liked them... |

A crack lover that loves the Andrew Sisters? That sounds like a show on Bravo :-) |

| juliamak (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Nov 12, 2004 - 14:20 Now where else can you hear Jem, Elvis Costello, and the Andrews Sisters in the same set? This is why I'm addicted to Radio Paradise! |

| PattonFever (wherever i go, there i am.) | Posted: Sep 29, 2004 - 12:15 this is a good one. |
| blades (NYC) | Posted: Sep 14, 2004 - 18:32 the mind can't grasp the lack of irony..weren't the andrews sisters stars during ww2 ?

| Mateo (San Marcos, CA) | Posted: Sep 14, 2004 - 18:07 The Andrews Sister's version of this isn't my favorite, but it's still one of the best songs to dance to to! :D/ |

It's indeed more roll than rock, but, like Keith Richards said, 'todays music is too much rock and too little roll'. One of the reasons why I like this golden oldie |

German, not really. Actually this is the popularized Anglicized version of the original Yiddish song. Klezmer rules! |

| Mot (53562) | Posted: May 26, 2004 - 12:49 Reminds me of early 1950's black & white cartoons with dancing cigarette packs. Not a real pleasant memory. |

| Gregorama (Austin, TX) | Posted: May 13, 2004 - 08:00 Excellent. There was a lot of great music produced in the first half of the century. |

Many hep comments for the ultimate hep tune. Bill, how did you decide to spin this one? One of my favorite "Dad singing in the shower" songs! Totally cool. |
| Alexandra (Ohioville) | Posted: Apr 30, 2004 - 06:55 AlonzoTheArmless wrote: Great song!!!! Their harmonies are mind blowing.
Yeaaaaahh. Love those Andrew Sisters. What a nice change from the norm on RP. |
| spn (Norway) | Posted: Mar 11, 2004 - 04:52 Excellent Choice! The Andrews Sisters (and, actually, Zarah Leander, who originally performed this song) are almost the only non-rock records in my collection. |
| ABanana224 (Mississippi) | Posted: Feb 06, 2004 - 13:06 **sigh** I just love this. |

| camarkim (So Cal, CA) | Posted: Jul 12, 2003 - 08:06 Great throwing this in! |
| Railee^!^ (Northwest) | Posted: Jun 21, 2003 - 21:32 poop poop pi doop. I love it! It's such a refreshing pause in the world of electric. I may get out my old trombone and do something stupid. |
| ehunthorsha (Oxnard, CA) | Posted: Jun 01, 2003 - 12:54 i love it. More! |
| Pipes (Murray, UT) | Posted: May 22, 2003 - 08:26 What Incredible harmonies. Even if you don't care for the music, you have to admire the talent!  |
| mperry (Columbia, MO) | Posted: Apr 11, 2003 - 14:25 This worked just fine in the RP mix. Good job. Reminds me that some Big Band would sound good in Paradise(thinking especially of Ellington's Blanton-Webster recordings from the 40's). |

This cracks me up! |
