He has written songs about the nine hundred and about fifty studio albums released. He is often depicted as a singer but this is not correct. In his song lyrics often about deeper problems, the current decadence (1993Café Grö β enwahn ) or the consumer society (Aber bitte mit Sahne, 1976). The environment has its attention (5 Minutes vor Zwölf, 1982), and addiction (Rot blüht der Mouth, 1983). It is worth noting here the Blaue Album from 1988, an album that openly criticise the Catholic Church. The song Gehet hin und vermehret euch is on the public channels in Austria and Germany not broadcast because of the text. ==Der Mann mit dem Fagott<span class="mw-editsection" len="350" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:inherit;">Also has written a book together with Udo Jürgens Michaela Moritz: Der Mann mit dem Fagott (the guy with the bassoon).
