Content and effect

The text is about a disco visit and describes the behavior of the disco visitors. It contains "rapped vocals". It alludes to borrowings from black music, in that the protagonist in the text is drawn into a conversation by another disco visitor (a “chic black man”) with the question “When will you finally stop stealing our black music? ? ". The phrase “The tin flies away from me!”, Which forms the chorus of the song, entered the German youth language .
