The only thing I remember about hearing something classical on an old record in my youth was (probably) Caruso singing (sorry, but this is phonetic German) “Eine, Swie, Drie, Fier, lift your steins and drink your beer...drink drink drink.” My dad enjoyed that.

Whoops. The guy who sang about beer was Mario Lanza.

The song is from the operetta "The Student Prince", composed by Sigmund Romberg (music) and Dorothy Donnelly (book and lyrics), based on Wilhelm Meyer-Förster's play Alt Heidelberg.
