Max Raabe Live – You’re the cream in my coffee…

post Category: Coffee post Comments (25) postOctober 23, 2011

Live in Berlin… Lyrics: You’re the cream in my coffee, You’re the salt in my stew; You will always be my necessity– I’d be lost without you. You’re the starch in my collar, You’re the lace in my shoe; You will always be my necessity– I’d be lost without you. Most men tell love tails, And each phrase dovetails. You’ve heard each known way, This way is my own way. You’re the sail of my love boat, You’re the captain and crew; You will always be my necessity– I’d be lost without you.

@HMSPolychrest No, I must apologise. Once I read through the entire thread I could place your comment in the correct context. Unfortunately many people like to relive past wars in the anonymity of the internet and I am used to reading offensive comments when the content has any connection to Germany. I took this the wrong way. I am glad to see that Max Raabe has an international following, he is a great artist. Greetings, Woelfin.

I only recently noticed that my old comment has 72 ‘likes.’ If people like it because they thought I was commending him for his nationality, I am very happy with that, too. To be German is to excel in every way.

A year ago, another YouTube user asked if he was British. To answer his question, I stated that he is, “very clearly German.” No offense intended at all. And you are correct, his performances are absolutely perfect. I listen to his music frequently.

I doubt very much indeed that Max Raabe has any British family connections at all – he is quite clearly German not only in appearance but also in his accent which I find quite endearing. As a vocalist he well and truly captures the style and grace and sophistication of the 1930s to perfection – he would not have been out of place singing in the Dorchester Hotel in London on an evening in 1935, shall we say, in front of all those elegantly dressed dancers swirling around on the dance floor.

This is a very upbeat version of this old song – full tempo indeed, and I really like it. I can hardly keep up with it in my foot tapping!

@HMSPolychrest He certainly is. Please clear up a matter of confusion for me… is this mean to be offensive? Or were you referring to the absolute perfection with which he portrays the mannerisms, singing style, even facial expressions of the time?

Absolutely perfect. I actually like the slightly-too-fast tempo, gives everything a carefree, funtime feel.

This is faster than it’s meant to be, I reckon, but otherwise, wonderful! Or as they say in German…Wundebar!

Well, with a name like that, he’s just gotta be. The only more German name I can think of is Fritz Adolf Von Deutsch. We should totally have more big bands today.

If more people listened to this type music there would be less hate and crime in the world. Glenn Miller etc, its all wonderful. Instead of songs about hate and murder and drugs, this music was fun and you could have a good time listening to it. im only 17 years old and i LOVE this kind of music.

Su ingles es perfecto por esta cancion, pero no sabia que cantaba ingles tambien! Se escucha como un cantante tipico de esa epoca, pero en el sentido de los mejor de esa epoca/ His English is perfect for this song, but I was not aware that he sang in English as well! He sounds like a typical singer from that era, but in the better sense of the word typical. Das ist schön:-)

I was lucky enough to see Max Raabe and the Palastorchester in Berlin years ago…an unforgettable night

Thanks for posting this!

Marlene Dietrich sang this song for her screen test for Die blaue Engel, and
did a humorous version. Max also does a beautiful job. It’s a treat to hear some
real music again.
