Yeah, it was made in the GDR and it has some cool features.

Thanks. We used a normal songbook (www.amazon.de/Queen-greatest-Hits-vol-ultimative/dp/B003DVT4BE) and my sister played the vocal line with her flute.

Ryder Spearmann if it weren’t for this being so good you wouldn’t have that version

He killed it with speed and power...

@@ms-iz9ye meh. Talented people can see where there is potential in something… it doesn’t have to be good to be made great. In fact, that’s often how it goes… things get improved when new blood comes along. I think this is virtually unknown because it just isn’t captivating musically, rhythmically, or energetically.

@@RyderSpearmann perfect example of putting down black musicians who came along and made the music that white artists later copied.. I understand your point of view but your response is exactly why black musicians (Especially in blues and Jazz and soul music) don’t get the recognition they deserve.. it’s just overlooked and considered old or just okay.. until someone else copies it and then that’s the better version of the exact same song.. sounds a bit racist to me..

@@ms-iz9ye or it’s a perfect example of recognizing the best version of it… Hmm I can’t decide which…

Transcribed, just for you! Trink ein Bier fuer mich, ja? I'm gonna tell you a story About the House Rent Blues I had a good job, showing up for five long years Lord have mercy. The old landlady was so lovey-dovey for five long years She was so nice and kind in every way Every Friday evening I'd come home with my paycheck She was smiling, she was so lovey-dovey My meals on time, my bathwater'd be ready, everything you'd ask. It rocked on, one Friday evening I come home. I said "Landlady.." She said "What, Johnny?" "I done lost my job." She said "WHAT?!" "I done lost my job." Now I began to notice then, When I'd get home in the evening time, She wouldn't smile, acting all sad. I asked her "What's wrong?". She said "I ain't feelin' good." I said "Lord have mercy." It rocked on, one Friday evening I come in. She said "Where've you been?" "I've been looking for a job." She said "You ain't been trying to find no job." I said "Yes I am!" She told me the other evening she passed by, she saw me on the corner, leanin' against a post. I said "Girl my feet was tired, been walking all day! I'm trying, I just can't find no job". She said "Yeeeah." She said "I wants my rent." I said "I ain't got no job". It rocked on.. I goes cross the street, to a friend of mine. He had been so lovey-dovey to me for so long. An' I told him, I said "Hey!" He said, "What, Johnny?" "I done lost my job." He said, "Yeaaah?" I said "I'm gon' stay here for a little while till I can get a job." He said, "Aah, I don't know, let me go upstairs and see my wife, y'know" He goes upstairs, he comes back down. He said "You know what? You know she's a little funny." I said "Yeah, you funny too! Everybody's funny when you ain't got no money when you run out of money, everybody's funny too." Now I go back cross the street, y'know, back to the ol' landlady. I'm gonna fool her, y'know, to get my clothes out of the house. I said "Hey!" She said "What?" "I got a job!" She said "YEAAH YEAAH YEAAH, when do you start the work?" I said "Oh baby, I start tomorrow!" She said "Oh yeah, you hungry?" I said "YEAAAAH" She goes to the store, y'know. I went upstairs to get my clothes out. She's talking about the front rent, she gon get the back rent, she gon get NONE of it. I'm gone.

If there was only one song to choose, I'd take this one and now I can understand completely, what Johnny's story is about, thanks again mcbudweiser ! One Bourbon, one Scotch & one Beer for YOU !
