The song references Falco, Chris de Burgh, Madonna and the song "Geronimo's Cadillac" by Modern Talking.
The maxi remix of the song features an intro, where a couple is making out and then the girl turns on the radio. Then a rap song begins, which is separately featured on Live - Nach uns die Sintflut. There, it is titled "Radio Rap".
Farin has said in the booklet of Das Beste von kurz nach früher bis jetze, that this maxi version is his all-time favourite.
