@TheAshleylovechild Schmalz in German means fat (animal fat, like pork's) but it also means excessive, maudlin sentimentality in English and other languages (usually spelt "schmaltz")

@dzheger what does "schmalz" mean?

@dzheger When Pres.Kennedy made his famous speech in Berlin c1962 he caused much hilarity when he declared "Ich bin ein Berliner" because, so we were told, this means "I am a (Berliner)sausage". Now you tell me he was only a doughnut! I think they forgave him-he was trying to demonstrate US backing for the Wall encircled people of the city.

My guess is that Frau Maier is in for a bigger shock than she's expecting. I suspect that it's Brokeback Mountain Herr Maier is going out to climb...

This must be a Ben Selvin Group with Irving Kaufmann vocal - nice record !
This most entertaining song reminds me of the Berliner (doughnut) I ate in Berlin a week ago: sweet, chewy, and dripping with schmalz. Not a high class cake, but absolutely delicious.
