His breakthrough in music came with the album "Mit Pfefferminz bin ich dein Prinz" ("With peppermint, I'm your prince") in 1978.
Müller-Westernhagen's music is shaped through his concise voice and shouting passages. His texts are very direct and provoking, e.g. "Dicke" ("Fat people"), but also social critical texts like "Freiheit" (freedom) are included in his emotional repertoire.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ich habe letzte Nacht ins Bett gemacht
Mama
das hab ich nur für dich getan
Leck meine Wunden
da hilft kein Aspirin
Werd ich gesunden wieder gesunden
Mama
ich bin jetzt Sänger bei den Rolling Stones
Mama
die Zeit wird für uns beide knapp
Leck meine Wunden
da hilft kein Aspirin
Werd ich gesunden wieder gesunden
werd die Konsequenzen ziehn
Ich bin so reich so schön so unsagbar nett
und ich kann singen und tanzen ein Männerballett
Und ich will leben und sterben wie ein Soldat
ich bin ein Superstar ich bin ein Superstar
Mama
ich will mit dir nicht um mein Erbe streiten
Mama
da pfeif ich lieber laut im Wald
Leck meine Wunden
da hilft kein Aspirin
Werd ich gesunden wieder gesunden
werd die Konsequenzen zieh'n
Ich bin so reich so schön so unsagbar nett
und ich kann singen und tanzen ein Männerballett
Und ich will leben und sterben wie ein Soldat
ich bin ein Superstar ich bin ein Superstar

Hab mir am weekend meine alten CD's rausgesucht um einen Stick für mein Auto zu machen. Dabei entdeckte ich die geilen Songs von Westernhagen wieder. Herrlich. Es geht mir gut, steh auf, wieder hier und andere dröhnen jetzt in meinem Auto und der mittlerweile alte Sack (ich) fühlt sich wieder jung :-)
