Captain Jack was a German Eurohouse/pop production team formed in Germany in 1996, fronted by core member, songwriter and vocalist Francisco Alejandro Gutierrez (born February 19, 1962 in Havana, Cuba – died October 22, 2005 in Palma de Mallorca, Spain) who adopted the stage name Franky Gee. The original female vocalist on the group's first two albums was Liza Da Costa, who attempted a solo career after leaving the Captain Jack team. She was replaced in 1999 by Maria Lucia 'Maloy' Lozanes, who in turn was replaced by Ilka-Anna-Antonia Traue (stage name: Illi Love) in 2001. Singer Sunny was the final female singer with Captain Jack.
The gimmick to Captain Jack's music (and Franky Gee's persona) was that of military training. Franky's costume consisted of a stylized military general's uniform, with a red hat based on that of the US Marines. Gutierrez chose this gimmick because of his service in the United States Army, a career he despised but was forced to follow when he was strapped for cash. After ending his time in the US Army, Gutierrez remained in Germany, where he was last stationed, and began a recording career under the name Westside.
While recording music under that name, he proposed the idea of a dance track based on a drill routine. That idea became his style: songs about peace and love in the style of a military regime, in protest against his years in the US Army. The hat—a US Marines "barracks cover" hat, in the color scheme evoking the Soviet Red Army—further protests the idea of the military, while symbolizing the idea of national unity. The first two albums, thematically, leaned heavily on sexual innuendo in its lyrics, its artwork, the stage performance and in its music videos. This changed with the later incarnation of Captain Jack, after Da Costa's departure.
The group has earned 19 gold and platinum records throughout Europe. Fans of the Konami arcade game Dance Dance Revolution know them from the numerous songs that, through the Dancemania series of albums, have been used in the game series. The group's music was also featured in other Konami music games such as beatmania and Dance Maniax.
The future of Captain Jack suddenly came into doubt when Gutierrez suffered a cerebral hemorrhage while walking with his son in Spain on October 17, 2005. Doctors predicted that the damage was fatal, and Gutierrez died on Saturday October 22, 2005 after spending five days in a coma. Consequently, the group disbanded in 2005. The band's future without frontman Gutierrez (also referred to by many fans as "Captain Jack") was uncertain for a few years. The group reformed in 2008 with a new frontman, Bruce Lacy.
As stated by an e-mail from Beatdisaster, December 7, 2005: Proceeds of sales (from the "Greatest Hits" album) to the (22.10.05) deceased artist "Franky Gee" (Francisco Gutierrez) go in favor of his son & Rapper of the same name, Francisco (Franky). In 2006, his career as Captain Jack Junior starts and the musical inheritance begins.
Captain jack is also Indonesian Rock Band formed in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in 1999. The original lineup consisted of Momo as (vocal, guitar), Zuhdil (guitar), Novan (bass), Surya Ismeth (keyboard), and Andi Babon (drum).
"Captain Jack, just a bad name, tacky, and a little weird, but we chose this name as a place we go home and dump all the emotions and thoughts from the concept through a slob too. Somehow we did not feel that we are a band, probably because some of the bands contest that was on TV that we think no more than a monkey show and it became the benchmark for the young kids now that that's what a band, collected without any fit, without a strong bond of friendship, without any sense of togetherness while struggling from point zero. We thanks God that we have a sense of togetherness. We are not children with multicolored hair style is filled with gel, we were not dressed funky and we do not care any funky sense, we are also not pretentious naughty kids who get drunk every day just to feel himself rockstar, we're just kids ordinary lives in ordinary life with the problems faced by ordinary people and we are angry with all the existing habits. "UNMINDLESS" (E.P.) An early, the first drop of sweat, mingled with the first pile of ideas emotion.An incomplete results but quite encouraging because Unmindless is the result of our own hard work. Do not ever look for this word in any dictionary because it's just a word that we are the reefs themselves and have little sense trying to think what other people are rarely think. Contains six tracks, six of thought, and one hope for change. "SOME THINK ABOUT" Some think about something, Some think about nothing, sandwiches one are you? This album contains not a slump like that seen a lot of people we just want to project our anger on many things, after all, a bit odd in our opinion if we do not feel angry at living conditions in the trash named our beloved Earth today. A full version dariUnmindless, 11 tracks, more ideas, and more hope for change. "FALL OF CONCEPT" Vacuum for 3 years now Captain Jack re-emerged with new EP titled "The Fall of Concept". In the latest EP Captain Jack explore more in their music, beat variation, sound and sampling on the songs on the EP (mini album) This latest feels assert their maturity in music. Shades of fresh songs, with beats that cacthy but still wrapped in a thick of rock nuances create Captain Jack's latest EP is more colorful and worth listening to. Contains six tracks with singles such as Hati Hitam, "Pengkhianat" and "Postcard Untuk Tuhan". Regarding the themes raised, certainly not in doubt. In this latest EP Captain Jack stay on track "RESISTANCE" that has become characteristic of Captain Jack. With scathing lyrics about the inner turmoil of angry at the situation."

The song is performed by the German dance music group Captain Jack, it was written by Udo Niebergall, Eric Sneo, and Daniel Abraham. The song has a military theme and shows the band's love for marching music. The song begins with Ejo Captain Jack, Bring me back to the railroad track, which immediately establishes the military marching theme. The lyrics in the first paragraph are a call to action to run along with the Captain Jack and march to the peacecamp back. The verse has a catchy rhythm and a military-style cadence that is suggestive of a troop formation march. The song implies that Captain Jack is the leader of the group, and everyone follows his orders.
In the second paragraph, the lyrics take a darker turn as the tempo picks up, and the "gun" takes center stage. The lines "Give me a gun in my hand, I want to be a shooting man" might suggest that the song was written from the perspective of soldiers who are marching towards war. The military step, airforce rap, and the seventeen being the best are all references to the various military branches, adding to the song's military theme. The percussion-heavy beat and plodding bassline further evoke a militaristic feel.
In the final verse, the lyrics take a more lewd turn with the line "Give me a woman in my hand, I want to be a fucking man." This line has caused some controversy, but it can be interpreted as a reflection of the song's youthful and rebellious energy. The lyrics imply that the group is still youthful and has a wild streak, which is a nod to the song's dance music roots. The song again ends with a call to run along with Captain Jack to complete the military-themed dance party.

@hey 123 Jack was with angelo back in 1927 (I think) so him and angelo is a flashback to before Ianto was even born. Jack is immortal incase you haven’t seen that bit, so he’s been around for about 150 years
hey 123

Thank you so much for making this. I love this video because the history of their love is well edited. And your sense of song selection is incredible. I heard the covers of All I Ask and In The End for the first time and loved them very much.
