Soaping up the mouth

[EDITOR'S NOTE: Spinke's musical career as a guitarist and singer in the infamous Berlin cabaret, Der Seidenstrumpf, remains largely undocumented. Usually performing under his drag persona, Joanna LeMuse, the following represents the only wax recording known to be extant in which Spinke performed sans garter belt as of March 2006. The opening of the Berlin Underground Music Archive [1920-1929] later this year may prove fruitful in the discovery of more Spinke original works. This number, taken from his 1922 Friday-night show inspired by the work of colleague Sigmund Freud, provides a classic example of what is considered to be the Spinke style.]
