This a German adaptation of Happy Days are here again. It features a nice clarinet solo later in the song:

Kristall-Orchester - Wochenend und Sonnenschein
Kristall 3125, ca. 1930

Hi Norman,

thats a great recording! I've neve heard that song sung in German before - it sounds very unusual :D

Nice solo in the song too. Thanks for posting this. I love this tune.

Hi- just catching up on neat songs. The Comedian Harmonists did a nice version in German as well- it is featured in a biography movie "Comedian Harmonists" - can sometimes find it in the foreign section of a video store. Neat movie as it uses the original music with the actors lip-synching the complex "instrumentation" (the Harmonists mimicked various brass instruments, etc.) Here is a copy of the song with pic of the group on youtube:
