Als mir Alex McGowan (aka Captain Future) first played Son of Dave’s album for me (which he had produced) I was swept off my feet. He combines Blues with modern elements like beatboxing, in a way I had never heard before. The native Canadian used to be with the Crash Test Dummies and somehow got stranded in London. That’s where
Son of Dave created his peculiar one-man show as a street musician. Today he’s already legend in England and France.
It was a pleasure working with this exceptional talent because Son Of Dave not only is an innovative musician but also a cool guy and a real gentleman ... sometimes ;-)
The guitar riff is my brother Schorsch’s. He had already used it with his band Schorsch & de Bagasch in their song Der Nachbar and thought the riff might be interesting for me, too. He was right: it even ended up as the title track!
Ben Binski used the song for his film Soap Boheme benutzt.
The lyrics and the leading lady are like chalk and cheese together…
