At that time, it was played without lyrics as "Modranská polka" ("Polka of Modrany").[citation needed]In 1934, the first text for the polka was written by Vašek Zeman – with the title "Škoda lásky"("Wasted Love").[4]The polka became famous around the world. In June 1939, "Beer Barrel Polka", as recorded by Will Glahé, was number one on the Hit Parade. This version was distributed by Shapiro Bernstein. Glahé's earlier 1934 recording sold many copies in its German version Rosamunde.[citation needed]It is possible the reason for the rapid spread was due to the occupation of Czechoslovakia by Nazi Germany, and subsequent emigration of thousands of Czechs to other parts of the world, bringing this catchy tune with them.[citation needed]The authors of the English lyrics were Lew Brown and Wladimir Timm. Meanwhile, the song was recorded and played by many others such as The Andrews Sisters in 1939, the Glenn Miller Orchestra, Benny Goodman, Bobby Vinton, Billie Holiday, and Joe Patek, who sold over a million copies of his album "Beer Barrel Polka".[5]During World War II, versions in many other languages were created and the song was popular among soldiers, regardless of their allegiances. On VE Day, 8 May or 9 May 1945, Humphrey Lyttelton played it standing on a handcart outside Buckingham Palace, a performance that could be heard in the BBC broadcast from the victory celebrations.[6][7]It was claimed many times that the song was written in the country where it had just become a hit. Its actual composer was not widely known until after the war.
