Das Hansen-Quartett (vocal chorus) with Hans Conzelmann and His Orchestra. Recorded and released 1956 in West-Germany.
The song was written by Hans Henderlein and Günter Lex (based on motives from Emmanuel Chabrier's 1883 composition "Espana") and is the German version of the very popular 1956 hit song "Hot Diggity (Dog Ziggity Boom)", written by Al Hoffman and Dick Manning and recorded by Perry Como on February 2nd 1956.

Dedicated to Maria Hammer (1926 - 2002)! She worked in my family's household from the time when I was about six years old until my late Twenties. She knew my love for old music and gave to me as a present her 18 old Shellac records from the Fifties - the very first Shellacs of my later collection. One of these 18 Shellacs is the here presented.

"Das Hansen-Quartett emerged from Das Geller-Quintett, it was founded in 1950 in Cologne and was the best known and most booked German music ensemble in the 1950s. The founding members were the double bass player and leader Hans Blum (later known as the soloist under the stage name Henry Valentino), the guitarist Joe Menke and the two sisters Ursula and Ingetraud Maschke (later:Ingetraut Blum) who performed as Geschwister Olden. Due to the many fancy names created by record companies, it is no longer possible to clarify exactly how many recordings the Hansen Quartet actually sang on."

I've made this video on May 13th 2024 in lovely Oberammergau, which you can see in the background.
This Columbia record is played on an Electrola Portable from 1930!
