The Song "Komm', mein Schatz, in den Lunapark" (Come, my Dear to Lunapark) was a kind of advertisement song for the famous amusement park in the capital Berlin, Germany which just had opened one year before in 1909, featuring several attractions such as a water slide or a swivel house. The park was closed in October 1933, shortly after the rise of the nazi regime which strongly disliked it.
