This is their first hit from 1937, and it is a treat:
Bei Mir Bist Du Schön (youtube)

From Wikipedia:
"In Nazi Germany it was also a hit until its Jewish origins were discovered, at which point it was promptly banned."

As I recall, the Krauts first thought it was some kind of Old German.

Interesting, but it IS German; nothing odd old or Jewish about it. Literally it means By me are you pretty.

On another Patty Andrews thread, I posted the Nazi version of "Bei Mir," in which the band leader, Karl "Charlie" Schwedler flays the Soviet Union.

Bei Mir, aka Nichevo (Russian for "nothing")--Charlie & His Orchestra, c. 1943
