Philosophy
As stated on his web page, gunthernet.com, Günther's goal is to show the world a more sexual life through his music. Somewhat jokingly, he lists the most important things in his life as "champagne, glamour, sex, and respect." The honesty of Günther's movement and music has been questioned and with little other media coverage it is difficult to know the truth.
Günther's style is notable for his mullet, moustache, large black sunglasses and facial expression.

At another point during 2004 the group released a full length compact disc entitled "Pleasureman."

The lyrics to Günther's song Ding Dong Song are suggestive and flirtatious in nature. The chorus repeats multiple times with the lyrics "Oh, you touch my tralala, mmm... my ding ding dong" which can be interpreted to mean sexual arousal. With each following verse, the singer emphasizes how he wants to experience pleasure and find love, indicating a desire for intimacy with his partner. The second verse has the added sound effect of a "ping" which is suggestive of a sexual innuendo.
Throughout the entire song, the singer emphasizes his desire for his partner and how he wants to be their "lovetoy". The lyrics and tone of the song suggest that the singer is seeking a sexual adventure and is eager to explore his sexual desires. The use of double entendres and suggestive language makes it clear the song is not meant to be taken at face value and is instead meant to be a light-hearted, humorous take on sexuality.
