"Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" (translation: You Forgot The Colour Film) is a pop and schlager single written by Michael Heubach (music) and Kurt Demmler (lyrics).

The song depicts a young girl scolding her boyfriend for forgetting to bring the colour film for their camera while on vacation.

[4] Though not censored by the state, the song was widely interpreted at the time as criticism of the drab and grey life prevalent in East Germany and the rest of the Eastern Bloc;[5] this double meaning seen in the comical words of the song was apparently well-understood by both the general population and the Politbüro elites.

[6] In December 2021 it was played at Angela Merkel's Großer Zapfenstreich, the first time ever that a brass band has attempted the piece.

The German pop band Echolot from Erfurt covered the song on the compilation album, Power from the Eastside in 2003.
