And now to The Heat. Two years ago, in 2020, I created my first song Scatology in May. Two months later, I wanted to create another song. So I went to the keyboard and played some chords from a Scatman John song because in the early 2000s, it was planned to release a posthumous Scatman album called "The Heat". That's why I wanted The Heat to be more a Scatman John inspired song/tribute song to Scatman John than an original song. And I took the scat singing from Scatmambo because Mambo comes from Latin America and the weather is hot in Latin America which fits to The Heat. I couldn't isolate the scat singing backing vocals from the instrumental, so I did the scat singing on my own with a vocoder (I did that a year later).
The next song, Homeworkers, is also a tribute song. It's a tribute to a series called "Pat a Mat", also known as "A je to" and "Pat und Mat" in the German-speaking countries. Pat a Mat is a series about two clumbsy homeworkers who try to fix problems in their house in a not-so professional way. I first watched Pat a Mat 8 years ago on a foreign TV station. They showed an episode where Pat and Mat tried to separate postage stamps from the envelopes with a washing machine. At the end of the episode, their apartment got flooded by their own washing machine which I found funny, amusing and entertaining. Two years later, one of my former classmates in talked about a series called A je to with me. He showed me a video of it and I recognized it immediatly. It was the same TV series I once watched in 2014. Thanks to him, I even knew the name of this TV series, so I watched more episodes of it. It got old later, but I have always loved the OST of Pat a Mat. Because of that, I made a tribute song to Pat a Mat.
Telex is also not an original song. It's a cover of a song by Derek Scott. What made me cover this short song, is, that there is a morse code synth pluck that somehow reminds me of airports. The summer 1981 live version of Kraftwerk's It's More Fun To Computer has a synth pluck that sounds simillar and also reminds me of airports. I catched the airport feeling and made a song out of it called "Airport" which I appended to Telex.
The first truly original songs in this album are The Marshal and The Mayor. The Marshal is a song about a marshal called Tito who later became the ruler of the now defunct Yugoslavia and The Mayor is a song about the mayor of Vienna Michael Ludwig. My former classmate who introduced me to Pat a Mat comes from former Yugoslavia and is therefore a fan of Tito. There were days where he talked about him all the time. He always wished that Yugoslavia gets reunited one day. When Michael Ludwig succeeded Michael Häupl (they have the same forename, but a different surname) because of Michael Häupl's old age, and became the mayor of Vienna in 2018, there were advertisement posters of Michael Ludwig everywhere in Vienna. His face got stuck in my head and at the same time, I remembered that my former classmate is a Tito fan, so I asked him something funny. I asked him: "Schaut der Michael Ludwig nicht aus wie Tito? - Doesn't Michael Ludwing look like Tito?". I can't remember his answer, but I still have contact to him and I can ask him what he answered to my question.
Hecht Geil is a cover of the Hecht Geil song from the Raiffeisen commercials. 5 years ago, a few commercials from the bank Raiffeisen aired. There was a fish who has the ability to talk like a human. He talked in Viennese dialect, did funny dances and he talked about topics that are about things that humans can do, but fish not which makes it funny. I still find these commercials funny and I like the music of these commercials even more. For this reason I covered this song.
Almost 2 years ago, my first dog died. We both had good and bad moments. Now she had to go because she was old and had a benign tumor inside her breasts which made it a bit hard for her to walk. To mourn her death I made a song that is both a tribute song and an orignal song called Bark In Peace.
Almost a decade ago, I watched a video where someone did magic tricks on the starting page of Google. It was entertaining and the music sounded great. Last year, I revisted this video and at the end of the video, it showed the name "Mr Bobbel". It gave me an idea to make a new song. I gave it the name "Mister Bobbel". It has a funny melody and a background voice that is a mix of Bud Spencer's and Mr. Bean's.

FUNFACT:
I can do both the Bud Spencer voice and the Mr. Bean voice.

Aerosphere is the sequal to Telex/Airport. This song reveals that the plane that took off from the airport is a spaceship. It tries to fly into space through the aerosphere, but other spaceships prevent it from doing it by shooting lasers to the spaceships.
3 years ago, I listened to a cover of Scatman's World performed by "thebossi345676". It was so funny that I had to laugh for a few days. I subscribed to his channel and watched his other videos. One of his videos I watched was "Der Politische Gehirnchip". It's about a man who got a chip implanted into his brain by a CDU (Christlich Demokratische Union)-politician and a SPD (Sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands)-politician in a discotheque. Maurizio Galati starred in this video and I took a look into his channel. I found his channel so funny because of the swear words he uses, the amount of his swear words and the funny topics. On his second channel "Seelensturz Galati" he uploaded a video called "Weißer Schnee durch die Nase gezogen". The video title gave me Rammstein vibes and in my head I heard him singing "Ich! Ich habe! Ich habe... einen Seelensturz!". Two years later, I made a song out of it, "Seelensturz".
During 2020, my friend Confetti and I met one Saturday and we walked around the city. On the escalator, we complained about the heat outside and in the public transport vehicles. We both sweated a lot and in my head, I had the sentence, "Schweiß hier! Schweiß da! Schweiß überall! - Sweat here! Sweat there! Sweat everywhere!". I began saying this sentence and Confetti did that too as if I had transfered that sentence into his brain through telekinesis. I said: "Hey! Das wäre eine gute Idee für ein Lied. - Hey! That would be a great idea for a book." He answered: "Genau! Finde ich auch. - Exactly! I think so.". That sentence got into my long-term memory and a year later, I made a song out of it. Without my long-term memory, I couldn't have made that song. It fits well to the theme of the album.
In 2019, my first dog gave birth to a dog. He got the name "Jacky" and he acts very energetic, playful and hyperactive. Jacky bit on our hands, but softly, and played with the cats and other dogs. They all felt annoyed by him because of that. A special thing about him is that his fur color looks like the color of cocoa. That's why I often call him "Kakaohund - Cocoa Dog". Because he's my favourite dog, I made a song as a tribute to him called "Cocoa Dog".
The last song is called "Rap". I had the idea of that song in my head when I watched a person on the internet who imitated Hercules Beatz. I hate that person. He always wears sweatpants and an undershirt only, screams around in the city and does stupid, dangerous challenges like letting a car run over his leg (he did that really). I won't tell you his name because he doesn't deserve to get clicks, likes and subscribers. He is endangering young people by influencing them to do these dangerous challenges. At the beginning, I found him funny, but when I found out about his other actions, I didn't find him funny anymore. Videos of him always appeared in my recommendation which annoyed me. One day, I got so annoyed by it that I had the idea of that song in my head. Both Hercules Beatz and that stupid person are rappers. So I thought of a song where they have a rapping duel and I made that song in that way that it sounds like it. I didn't put any vocals on that song, only in the bridge. I put Hercules Beatz' screaming vocals from "PC Spielen" (2005) into the bridge with a DJ sound effect.
