Georg Kreisler (18 July 1922 – 22 November 2011) was an Austrian–American Viennese-language cabarettist, satirist, composer, and author.

[1] Kreisler went to high school in Vienna, where he studied music theory, and learned to play violin and piano.

[4] Despite producing several hundred original songs[5] Kreisler may occasionally have used ideas and material from other artists in his work.

Kreisler's "Das Mädchen mit den drei blauen Augen" appears to be related to the Abe Burrows song "The Girl with the Three Blue Eyes" (first recording 1950).

Kreisler's song "Bidla Buh" (first recorded in the 1950s[7]) appears to be related to the Rodgers and Hart number "To Keep My Love Alive" composed in 1943.
