Das bisschen Haushalt, sagt mein Mann...

In the organizer's words:

For a long time, gender roles in pop songs, as in society, were precisely defined: The woman waited - as in Margot Eskens' "Cindy oh Cindy" - dutifully and patiently on the quayside until her lover, perhaps, returned from the high seas, or she worried as a mother - as in Freddy Quinn's "Junge, komm bald wieder" - about the welfare of her son who had set off into the distance. This only changed in the 1960s and 1970s, when the spirit of 1968 began to blow, women were no longer satisfied with their role at the kitchen stove and even eroticism found its way into pop songs. Gitte suddenly demanded a cowboy for a man, Juliane Werding pulled the wool over men's eyes - in "Wenn du denkst, dann denkst du nur, du denkst" - when playing cards, Johanna von Koczian made fun of men for whom housework was a foreign concept, and Ina Deter demanded unequivocally: "The country needs new men".

Rainer Moritz gives an amusing and instructive account of how the image of women in pop songs has changed over the course of time - from Gerhard Wendland's "Das machen nur die Beine von Dolores" to Andrea Berg's "Du hast mich tausendmal belügen". Look forward to the most beautiful pop gems.
