I'm sorry to ruin anyone's illusions, but "Gummikavalier" is simply 1920-30's German slang for a swim ring, a perfectly ordinary flotation device. This song sounds a lot more dirty to modern minds. In 1927 it was just silly, like "Mein Gorilla" or "Mein kleiner grüner Kaktus".
Oooh sleaked back hair, crepe soled shoes and charleston trousers - this was the "gummi kavailier" of the 1920 the male version of the flapper!! Hmmmm Raabe?
Un chanteur vraiment unique, un artiste a part entière, au service d'un répertoire formidable
Tolles Orchester!!!!! Toller Max Raabe es macht spaß zuzuhören !!!!
