Born the daughter of Dvora und Abraham Schneider (the name is German and means tailor), she studied piano before starting to perform as a singer in venues in New England and New York.
Between 1978 and 1984 she achieved some success as a rock singer in Germany; her song Rock'n' Roll Gypsy even reached the top 10 record charts. 1980 she toured as an opener with the German rock legend Udo Lindenberg. She played one of the leads and the love interest of Eddie Wilson in the 1983 film Eddie and the Cruisers, which has since gained a huge cult following, especially in unusual places for an American film such as Nepal, Russia and especially Germany, where Schneider had name recognition.[1]
In 1987 she began her acting career at the Theater des Westens in Berlin playing the Sally Bowles in the musical Cabaret. From 1995 to 1998 she performed as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Since 1998 she mainly performs chansons and songs with lyrics pieces by Kurt Weill. She worked with Eberhard Schoener on the recording of the Short Opera (1996) and on the goodbye-song for the TV series Derrick. From 1999 to 2001 she performed as Eva Perón in the musical Evita at the Bad Hersfelder Festspiele.
In 2007 Schneider released the CD Just Like A Woman [1]
Everybody Loves My Baby
Helen Schneider Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But my baby don't love nobody but me, nobody but me
Oh, everybody wants my baby
But my baby don't want nobody but me; that's plain to see
Yes, she got a foam like Venus
Honest, I ain't talking Greek
No one can come between us
Yes, everybody loves my baby
But my baby love nobody but me, yeah, nobody but me
The lyrics to Helen Schneider's song "Everybody Loves My Baby" are catchy and sweet. The song is about a woman who is adored by many, and everyone wants to be with her, but she is only interested in her lover. The lyrics convey that the woman is so irresistible that even the singer knows that people are attracted to her. However, the woman remains loyal to her partner, and they have a strong and exclusive relationship.
The singer shows how proud and possessive he is of his partner. He compliments her beauty by saying that she has a foam like Venus, which is a reference to the ancient Roman goddess of love and beauty. He also refers to himself as her "Sheik", which is an Arabic term for a leader. He is saying that he is the only one that his partner wants and needs, and that no one can come between them.
The chorus repeats the notion that "everybody loves my baby, but my baby don't love nobody but me." It is clear that both the singer and his partner have a deep connection and that they are content in their love for one another.
