Oskar Joost und sein Orchester Eden-Hotel, Berlin

"Heut' bin ich gut aufgelegt"

1932

This is the instrumental version.

Oskar Joost and his orchestra give a jazzy rendition of "Heut' bin ich gut aufgelegt."

Don't confuse this with a vocal version recorded by this same ensemble. Joost recorded a vocal version with the singer Kurt Mühlhardt.

Song written by Walter Jurmann (music), Bronislaw Kaper (words), and Fritz Rotter (words).

"Heut' bin ich gut aufgelegt" means "Today I'm feeling great."

This upbeat song is from the 1932 movie "Ein toller Einfall" (A mad Idea) starring Willy Fritsch, Dorothea Wieck, and Rosy Barsony.

Walter Jurmann later composed songs such as "San Francisco."

He scored movies such as "Mutiny on the Bounty" (the 1935 version--the 1962 version was scored by Kaper).
