Maria and her friend Betty sing the chorus to "Nur nicht aus Liebe weinen" (don't cry because of love), which is a big hit by Zarah Leander, a Swedish actress who was very successful in Nazi film.
After the War, Leander became something of a cult figure in the gay scene in Germany, in part perhaps because of the erotic playfulness of many of her songs. This one, for instance, asks, "Kann denn Liebe Suende sein?" (Can love be a sin?)
