Written in 1921, "Das Lila Lied" or "The Lavender Song" was one of the first gay anthems ever recorded. It was an immensely popular cabaret song in Weimar Berlin.

Largely forgotten for many decades, it has seen a major resurgence in recent years thanks to a modern re-recording in both English and German by artist Ute Lemper.
