Hoppe-hoppe Reiter! Improved Sound Ltd. mp3s
You know the feeling. You stumble on a local yard / stoop sale that features a lot of tasteless glassware and sweatshirts, ancient kids' toys and one thin box of records seemingly dominated by James Last and Chicago records. That feeling is despair. But you pulled over, so you might as well get your fingers dusty. Then you spot an inexplicable cover featuring the upper quarters of a Gérard Depardieu lookalike being ridden, hobbyhorse-style, by a mostly naked angel-winged nymph. Hope creeps in. You ask how much - the answer: a dime. Turning it over, you spot song titles such as "Leave This Lesbian World", "Don't Know Baby If You Are Safe" and "Hit'em In The Face", mismatched with the frumpiest looking set of anti-rock stars Bavaria could cough up. Yes yes, that despair has now flipped itself into a feeling indescribable yet holy and life-giving. If you know, you know. If you don't, well... it's like I said to Terre T during one of my insufferable attempts to justify my coffee-snobbery: "it's like trying to explain WFMU to your grandmother".
What this thing is is the soundtrack to one of those arty lite-porn German offerings from the late-60's (1969, precisely), written and performed entirely by the band IMPROVED SOUND Ltd. The title is "Engelchen macht weiter hoppe-hoppe Reiter" (buy it here). You want the plot? Here's a Google translation, courtesy listener Freddy:
"Gustl seller leads a harmonious marriage with Helene, in which sexual life is not too short. From the time Sexrummel infected, he would like to see a sex party to organize. Because it echoes Mitmacher not a lack of potential, a date for the orgy reported, but since Gustl gets under suspicion, to have smallpox, he must away from the big event. When thinking about his Helene because without him so everything could drive, it packs the jealousy ..."

Hey there fella! Ready to make that move, but a bit shy, eh? Have no fear, picking up girls is here! Yes, in no time you too can be swarmy, gross and be that odd duck out in a social setting. Taught by super lady master Eric "you come here often" Weber circa 1975!
