The act's beginnings can be traced to 1997, when founding member Zenon Kutapasa (then known as Zenon Danon) assembled two of his cronies in his bedroom and recorded the three of them yelling hastily written lyrics over instrumental backgrounds thrown together from various tapes (including the works of Nirvana, Silverchair etc). Two additional "albums" in this style were created up to 2001, each improving on the predecessor's audio processing quality and performance.

At this point, a proper band line-up was assembled, leading to the act's first proper concert (September 2nd 2001). Eventually, Kabanos decided to try their hand at making their own material, and the debut single "Za X" was recorded in 2002. A few member changes later, a proper full-length "Zęby w ścianę" saw the light of day in 2007. "Flaki z olejem" followed in 2009, and the group's most recent full-length of original material is "Kiełbie we łbie" from 2012. Kabanos is evolving from release to release, letting their growing musical abilities shine and gradually replacing the off-the-wall ramblings of their earlier materials with easily discernible, more mature themes.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kabanos's song Stratowiarus are a mixture of German and Polish, and the theme seems to revolve around flirting and sex. The singer speaks about how he sees the person he desires ("Ich bin looking You"), but they are not looking back at him ("A Ty nie looking me"). He talks about how he wants to touch them ("Ich bin kolano łap"), but they only give him a small glance ("A You hat oczko sie"). Despite this, he continues to sit next to the person every chance he gets ("Every hot minute ja siedzeć przy Tobie").

The next verse starts off with the person he desires looking at him ("Sie hat looking me"), but the singer is too nervous to speak ("Ich haten w gębie klej"). However, the person continues to flirt with him ("Sie hat flirten me") and they are constantly close to one another ("Every hot minute sie siaten blysko mnie"). The chorus of the song speaks about how men desire women ("Chłopy są porządne/Babom chłopy modne/Chłopy babek żądne/ Babek chłopy godne") and the reverse, women seeking men. The lyrics are light-hearted and playful, with a strong focus on sexual desire.
