He started as a DJ and animator in Tyrol, in 1999 he had his breakthrough with his hit single "Anton aus Tirol", since then his songs are often played on so-called apres-ski and Ballermann-parties.
There is also an American deathrock-band "Ötzi" (https://otzi.bandcamp.com/), the scrobbles of which all get connected to this profile for some reason (needs to be fixed).

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Good evening, Vienna"
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go
I'm standing here outside you door
I hate to wake you up to say goodbye
But the dawn is breaking, it's early morn'
The taxi's waiting, he's blowing his horn
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
There's so many times I've let you down
So many times I've played around
And I tell you now they don't mean a thing
Every place I'll go I think of you
Every song I'll sing I sing for you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring
Singin'
So kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go
"Und wir singen"
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
"Und alle"
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
Singin'
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
"Come on, wave your hands, yo"
I'm leaving on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh, babe, I hate to go
"See you
Thanks a lot
Ciao! Woo
Danke schön"
The lyrics of DJ Ötzi's song "Leaving On A Jetplane" depict the bittersweet moment of saying goodbye to a loved one before embarking on a journey. The first few lines serve as a greeting to the listeners, setting the tone for the story that follows. The singer expresses how all his bags are packed and he is ready to go, standing outside the door of the person he is leaving behind. He acknowledges that it's difficult to wake them up to say goodbye, but explains that the dawn is breaking and it's time for him to leave. The imagery of the taxi waiting and blowing its horn adds to the sense of urgency and departure.
The chorus of the song is the most memorable part, as it captures the conflicting emotions of the singer. He asks the person to kiss him and smile, assuring that he'll wait for their return. The plea to be held tightly as if they'll never let go reflects the fear of being forgotten or replaced during their absence. The line "I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again" expresses the uncertainty of the length of the journey and the pain of leaving.
In the next verse, the singer reflects on past mistakes and instances where he let his loved one down or played around. However, he now realizes that those moments were insignificant and meaningless in comparison to his love for them. He promises to think of them in every place he goes and dedicate every song he sings to them. The mention of bringing back a wedding ring implies a commitment to their relationship and a future together.
As the song progresses, there are interjections in German, emphasizing the connection to Vienna and the sense of unity among the listeners. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the theme of longing and reluctance to leave.

On numerous occasions, I have disappointed you
So many times I've played around
Frequently, I engaged in frivolous pursuits or infidelity
And I tell you now they don't mean a thing
I am confessing that those actions hold no significance
Every place I'll go I think of you
Wherever I travel, my thoughts are consumed by you
Every song I'll sing I sing for you
Each melody I perform is dedicated to you
When I come back I'll bring your wedding ring
Upon my return, I shall bring the symbol of our marriage
