Description:
Just seeing its title, the "Swips-Lied" ("Tipsy Song") may not be immediately familiar. But hearing just one bar of it, it's the "Annen-Polka" with a vocal part in which a proper Victorian-era lady finds herself slightly drunk. The "Schwips-Lied" is one of those famous inserts ("einlage") often used in Johann Strauss" operetta Eine Nacht in Venedig.
