Their most popular sound was comparable to that of Yes, but they also explored other progressive rock styles. Their sound was characterized by sometimes humorous approach to making music, exhibited in both the lyrics and in the chimeric sound of the instruments.
The band made nearly fifteen albums, from general hard rock album to concept albums. Their vocals are mostly in English, although some albums were released with German vocals for the home market and English vocals for export.

Hhmm, ah, hello my dear friends. Here I am again with my music. Well, it's very nice that I can speak to you now from this very fine record. And I am freuing me, that you are freuing you to hear my voice again. Isn't it nice? Yes it is.
Well, I want you to listen to my very new song, wich I have brought along from a trip through Africa. And I hope, you like it. Do you like it? Yes, you do.
And also here are ebenfalls some of my very best friends, which will sing along together with me. Come on boys, let's sing that the camels are breaking together.
A one, two, three, four
Lah, lalalalah, lalalalah, lalalalah
Take your car, drive through Africa
In the Sahara you'll find the bones of Alibahabahahaha
Take your car, drive through Africa
In the Sahara you'll find Alibaba
Long ago 300 years or so
Alibaba went, with his new rockband
To the land, of the big, big sand
To give a free concert in Bir Bu Sareiigk
Take your car, drive through Africa
In the Sahara you'll find the bones of Alibahabahahaha
Take your car, drive through Africa
In the Sahara you'll find Alibaba
When they started with their show
A storm came up and then it snowed
Ali cried, "Oh what a plight
Oh we must do a snowball fight."
Lah, lalalalah, lalalalah, lalalalah
Lah, lalalalah, lalalalah, lalalalah
Lah, lalalalah, lalalalah, lalalalah
Lah, lalalalah, lalalalah, lalalalah
Lah, lalalalah, lalalalah, lalalalah
