Possible. It's an evergreen, and also an often used saying now. Very funny song, and the way Raabe sings it is superb. He excels in copying style and behavior of the German big Bands of the 20s and early 30s, and the Comedian Harmonists that Sailor Steve already has linked to ("Veronika", another very ironic classic song that was almost scandalous at it's time). Performing like this is what made him one of the most successful singers and musical entertainers in German-speaking Europe. Quite popular the guy, and thus, plenty of albums.
He also sometimes rips apart modern pop and rock songs, mercilessly illustrating their deficits then when forcing them into getting sung in his style of the 20s. Hilarious!
He also does a lot of research for "new, forgotten" musical pieces from that era, to revive them, he also composes song like that himself, I think.
Another really famous classic, from 1934:
as a bonus, the special version for Steve:
Brilliant performer with a very good Big Band!
