Description
Ah, Munich – a city where everything is proper, decent and served with a nice head of foam on the beer. Almost everything. Because somewhere between strict laws and Bavarian order lives Rosie, a symbol of the fact that human nature will always find a way to misbehave. While the authorities are cleaning up vice, Rosie just picks up the phone and makes a profit.
The music sounds like a late Friday night in a pub - loud, hoarse, with a smirk in the voice and a guitar that smells like beer. This is not just a story about a woman with a telephone, but an anthem to all those who break the monotony when life suddenly decides to become too proper. Scandalous? Perhaps. But without such ‘scandals,’ the world would be terribly boring.
Lyrics and translation
Original
In München steht ein Hofbräuhaus
Doch Freudenhäuser müssen raus
Damit in dieser schönen Stadt
Das Laster keine Chance hat
Doch jeder ist gut informiert
Weil Rosi täglich inseriert
Und wenn dich deine Frau nicht liebt
Wie gut, dass es die Rosi gibt
Und draußen vor der großen Stadt
Stehen die Nutten sich die Füße platt
Skandal (Skandal) im Sperrbezirk
Skandal (Skandal) im Sperrbezirk
Skandal, Skandal um Rosie
Ja, Rosi hat ein Telefon
Auch ich hab ihre Nummer schon
Unter zwounddreißig sechzehn acht
Herrscht Konjunktur die ganze Nacht
Und draußen im Hotel L'Amour
Langweilen sich die Damen nur
Weil jeder, den die Sehnsucht quält
Ganz einfach Rosis Nummer wählt
Und draußen vor der großen Stadt
Stehen die Nutten sich die Füße platt
Skandal (Skandal) im Sperrbezirk
Skandal (Skandal) im Sperrbezirk
Skandal, Skandal um Rosie
Ja, Rosi hat ein Telefon
Auch ich hab ihre Nummer schon
Unter zwounddreißig sechzehn acht
Herrscht Konjunktur die ganze Nacht
Und draußen im Hotel L'Amour
Langweilen sich die Damen nur
Weil jeder, den die Sehnsucht quält
Ganz einfach Rosis Nummer wählt
Und draußen vor der großen Stadt
Stehen die Nutten sich die Füße platt
Skandal (Skandal) im Sperrbezirk
Skandal (Skandal) im Sperrbezirk
Skandal, Skandal um Rosie (Moral)
Skandal (Moral), Skandal (Moral)
Skandal (Moral), Skandal (Moral)
Skandal (Moral), Skandal (Moral)
Skandal (Moral), Skandal (Moral)
Skandal (Moral), Skandal (Moral)
Skandal (Moral), Skandal (Moral)
Skandal (Moral), Skandal (Moral)
Skandal um Rosie
English translation
There is a Hofbräuhaus in Munich
But brothels have to go
So in this beautiful city
That vice has no chance
But everyone is well informed
Because Rosi advertises every day
And if your wife doesn't love you
How good that Rosi exists
And outside the big city
The whores have their feet flat
Scandal (scandal) in the restricted area
Scandal (scandal) in the restricted area
Scandal, scandal about Rosie
Yes, Rosi has a telephone
I already have her number too
Under thirty-two sixteen eight
There's a boom all night long
And outside at the Hotel L'Amour
The ladies are just bored
Because everyone who is tormented by longing
Simply dial Rosi's number
And outside the big city
The whores have their feet flat
Scandal (scandal) in the restricted area
Scandal (scandal) in the restricted area
Scandal, scandal about Rosie
Yes, Rosi has a telephone
I already have her number too
Under thirty-two sixteen eight
There's a boom all night long
And outside at the Hotel L'Amour
The ladies are just bored
Because everyone who is tormented by longing
Simply dial Rosi's number
And outside the big city
The whores have their feet flat
Scandal (scandal) in the restricted area
Scandal (scandal) in the restricted area
Scandal, scandal about Rosie (morality)
Scandal (Morality), Scandal (Morality)
Scandal (Morality), Scandal (Morality)
Scandal (Morality), Scandal (Morality)
Scandal (Morality), Scandal (Morality)
Scandal (Morality), Scandal (Morality)
Scandal (Morality), Scandal (Morality)
Scandal (Morality), Scandal (Morality)
Rosie scandal
