Was also a very popular tune in the café chantant circuit during the fifties when all these instrumental versions (Lawrence Welk, Leroy Holmes, Billy Vaughn, Helmut Zacharias, Klaus Wunderlich, Peter Kreuder) craved for words, so it was parodied as Ziede Gij Mij Gere, Kust Me Dan, not to be confused with Will Ferdy's Ziede Gij Me Gere (see: Steppin' Out).
