I think it might be from the grey wolf mod.

Anyway, it is labeled "182"

Title
Auf der Reeperbahn nachts um halb eins

translated title
On the Reeperbahn at half past midnight

Originated From Film
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gro%C3%9Fe_Freiheit_Nr._7

back story
das reeperbahn is a street in the red light district / bar / party area of hamburg's St. Pauli district.

Performer
Hans Albers

Year of release
1944 in film as referenced above

EDIT:

the song is basically about strolling down this particular street in more or less a drunken state in the hopes of finding a woman, or settling for the fact of finding none, but enjoying the fact that you took the stumbling stroll down the party street anyhow no matter if you were successful with the ladies or not! LOL i dont know the full english lyrics and have been unable to find them, but from what little i can pick up thats the gist

check GWX manual page 511... it details the title, composer, artist and year of the gramophone tracks in GWX

Interesting stuff I did not know. On the other hand, whoever put together the 'German Hits' files I share had 'Auf der Reeperbahn' listed as a 1919 release. I can't find anything more on that, so take it for what it's worth.

1919 release is correct, it was composed originally in 1919... however the version used in GWX was recorded in 1944. The song reached mainstream popularity in 1944 as a result of its use in the aforementioned film.

so either date is technically correct. And technically correct is the very best kind of correct :salute:

Thanks for that. :sunny:

I have a program on my phone called Sound Hound...if you hear a song that you dont know let the program listen to it and it can usually find it, not sure it goes back that far though.
