À la carte is the title of the fourth album was published in 1984 by the Austrian rock band First Floor.
Background
This album contains mostly songs that were on the stage during the live show Spitalo Fatalo (or in the later extended version of the show ) already played, but have found no place to Spitalo Fatalo or have not been ready in time. Klaus Eberhartinger called à la carte a temporary solution, because the proven program Spitalo Fatalo was also performed after the publication of this album on. Only Guru was incorporated as a new song in the show.
The follow-up single Go, Karli, Go reached # 6 in the Austrian charts, Aloahe has already been published previously as The Bride and the sailor ( version Silly Hans) with identical text, but other production. Pig radio was also released as a single, but both could not be placed in the charts.
Singer was in six of the ten tracks Klaus Eberhartinger, Intellectuals and heavy metal Pepi were sung by Bottazzi, recited knee soft Eik Breit, and offered love affair with producer Peter Müller in the style of Hans Moser.
Musically Á la carte is quieter than its predecessor Spitalo Fatalo, and without references to current music trends. Lyrically, there are again some critical songs (Oh Bio Mio takes the green movement of the eighties a bead, knees soft philistinism, Guru the profiteering with religion, Intellectuals pointless brooding intellectuals ) and some primary witty songs (Go Karli Go on an emerging music star, pigs radio on the life and suffering of a pig, Aloahe and flirtation about love ). The songs we jet and heavy metal Pepi act of Saufbrüdern and tough guys without being particularly critical.
The text of pig radio has already been written by Eberhartinger and Spitzer in their school days. In the play Susie (1985 ) by Franz Bäck and Herwig Emperor, in which Thomas Spitzer the lyrics and Gert Steinbäcker wrote the accompanying music, is a very clear allusion to this song and Thomas Spitzer to find. Fridolin, who wants to be a rock star, is writing a song text and asks another person, "What rhymes with The on it's all good, the other dirty? ". The other person called Tohu Wabohu responds: " The sausage is round, the toast is square". Fridolin again: " The sausage is round, the toast is angular, which on it's all good, the other dirty I lie before them.. "
