André Schisa never published any music under his own name, although he composed and wrote numerous songs, especially for Schwoißfuaß. The double LP "Fremde Zigaretten" was only released posthumously with 22 of his tracks under his name.
Schnisa's best-known work is the Schwoißfuaß hit Oinr Isch Emmr Dr Arsch . However, only two of the three stanzas come from Shnisa's pen. The third verse was written by Alex Köberlein, who also translated Schnisa's original High German version into Swabian in order to adapt it to the style of the dialect band. Since 2011 the piece has always been among the top 50 of the SWR1 hit parade Baden-Württemberg . It reached the highest ranking with rank 28 in 2017. There are several cover versions of the song, for example by the bands "Muggabatschr" , "Gitze" and "Uptown Shufflers" .
