"Ra-Ta-Ta", or "Ra Ta-Ta-Ta" is a 1970 German song written by Hamburg pianist Chris Juwens (real name Uwe Stelzmann; 1946-1998) and Christian Heilburg (real name Gregor Rottschalk, *01/12/1945). Gunter Gabriel of CBS Records Germany immediately recognised the song's catchy potential but was overruled by his boss. Nevertheless the song swept across Europe with singles in many other European languages. The Top 10 success of singer Antoine's French version in Paris led to promotion of an English version by German band Rotation in the US.
