Crew's favourite music - Page 3

My crew and mine favourite song is „Jestem pudel z Gwadelupy” (”I'm a poodle from Gwadelupa”) by a Polish band. But Russian traditional songs are also very popular, not mentioning Vladimir Vysotski or Bulat Okudzhava…

"J'attendrai" by Rina Ketty

My crew opts for upbeat jazz. "Juin" is a favorite. Some others are "Hallo Fraulein" and just about anyting from Edith Piaf, "The little sparrow". I was listening to "Mariandl", which is really catchy (you'll find yourself humming the tune out of game if you listen to it), but read somewhere that this song was sung by Petula Clark (of "Downtown" fame), so it's not WWII vintage. If anyone knows differently, please advise.

Oh, and by the way, in the "Ultimate Gramophone Pack - 150+ Tunes", "Under the Sea" is not sung by Frank Sinatra - that's Bobby Darin.

"Durch deutsches Land marschieren wir”

I find myself humming it at work, and then I realize it's a friggin Schutzstaffel marching song. Kind of awkward! :rotfl:

What is your crew's favourites?

Sorry if that has been answered already (i didn't read the entire thread), but the song is "Mein Onkel Eduard aus Bentschen" and it was the favourite song of Jost Metzler's crew of U-69. (Metzler, Jost: The laughing cow, 2004).
If you google for it you'll find an iPod download of thze song, I'm sure.

My crew's favorites are all Hans Albers songs (except for the "Flieger Lied" which they of course hate

), all kind of shanties and, after passing the minefields before entering port, they insist on hearing Gustav Gruendgen's "Die Nacht ist nicht allein zum Schlafen da" four or five times in a row...

Cheers,
