    I am not familiar with Pitralon.

    Pitralon features in a few German-language popsongs, among which this one. Trigger-warning: weird 1980 stuff. The song claims that “girls like it when you smell like a polecat”, and strongly suggests that the use of Pitralon is a way of achieving this.

    I assume that this version references the classic red one - and I’m both tempted and afraid of trying it.

      That was certainly… a thing.

      Shame my deutsch ist sehr, sehr schlecht. Enough that I could pick up the gist of it. No worse that a lot of Norwegian 80’s stuff, to be honest :P

        Well, this is not very Standard German, and the band, while having a huge success in Austria and Bavaria (and maybe in Switzerland?), never made it in the rest of Germany.

        Divided by our common language, as we say 🤷‍♂️
