Here's another rendition of "The Lambeth Walk" from 1938. I got a million of 'em. This one's by Hans Rehmstedt and his Orchestra. I'm told they were one of most popular "swing" bands in Germany at the time this was recorded and this platter sold like sauerkraut all across the land. Then the song came to be loathed and denounced by the Nazi leadership. The record company changed its name to "In Lambert's Nachtlokal" to try and not call the Nazi censors' attention to it…then as it became even more hated, they stopped pressing it completely. To hear it (complete with German lyrics sung by Rudi Dreyer) click on the player below…
