In the televoting of the final show on March 19, 2004 Max defeated nine other competitors (including established artists like Scooter or Sabrina Setlur). A majority of 92,95 % of all votes made him the German entry for the 49th Eurovision Song Contest in Istanbul, where he finished eighth with 93 points.
Thereupon the singer went back to school and passed his final high school examination, before teaming up with Raab once again to finish his self titled solo album in summer 2004. The record, a mixture of Funk, Soul and Pop in German and in English language, debuted at #1 on the German album charts and spawned the singles "Schwarz Auf Weiß", "Spür Dein Licht" and "Catch Me If You Can". From May to June 2005 Max then went on a club tour across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, before touring with Katie Melua.
Currently, Max is working on his sophomore album.
Girl in Tokyo
Max Mutzke Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got a girl in Tokyo, as pretty as can be
Another one in Monterrey, I never will forget
And what about my Cuban girl,
She's everything I had
And when I'm loving you, loving you girl
You make me feel so wonderful baby
Everything we are going through
I've got a girl in Tokyo, the finest on for me
I've got a girl in Tokyo, as funny as can be
Do you remember Syria, she just made my day
I lost my heart in Wellington, please, please stay
They have all given sweet love to me
Sweet sweet love to me, baby
And they had all what it takes now
To meka a man feel like a man
They have all given sweet love to me
They have all given sweet love to me
They make me feel like a man
And when I'm loving you, loving you girl
You make me feel so wonderful baby
An I believe, I believe it's so true
Everything we are going through
They have all given sweet love to me
They make me feel like a man
I've got a girl in Tokyo
