Its founder and the main creative force was Andrzej "Püdel" Bieniasz, who has been in the band up to now. Püdelsi descended from a legendary alternative act Düpą. On its first album, "Bela Pupa", the band recorded songs with Piotr Marek's lyrics, who had been a vocalist of Düpą and who had died a few months before. Two songs from the album were sung by Maciej Maleńczuk, the rest by the vocalist of Maanam, Kora. Maleńczuk, who earlier had been a busker, thanks to his captivating timbre and great charisma, became a leader of the group. He also turned out to be a gifted author of lyrics, which were often a biting satire. Püdelsi released three next albums: "Viribs Unitis", "Narodziny Zbigniewa - Püdelsi grają Düpą" (with Düpą's songs) and "Psychopop". Although the band reached cult status in certain circles, it remained widely unknown until the release of "Wolność słowa" in 2003. The album was a success and gave the band mainstream popularity. It contained pastiches of various styles: punk, reggae, ska, blues rock, psychedelic rock, metal, operetta, salsa and retro song. In 2005 Maleńczuk left the band and was replaced by Szymon Goldberg. In 2007 Püdelsi released their new album "Zen".

Jestem Pudel z Guadelupy
Nogi proste mam jak słupy
Jestem piękny i puszysty
Ojcem moim ratler bystry

Jestem Pudel z Guadelupy
Nosze z kota piękne buty
Jestem Pudlem z rodowodem

Jeżdżę złotym samochodem

Moja matka to wodołaz
Ślepia czarne ma jak smoła
Moje dzieci pekińczyki
Porypane małe fryki

Jestem Pudlem z rodowodem
Jeżdżę złotym samochodem
Mieszkam w zamku Schlossenfiedel
Mam tam piękny czarny kibel

Jestem Pudel z Guadelupy
Nogi proste mam jak słupy
Jestem piękny i puszysty
Ojcem moim ratler bystry

Jestem Pudel z Guadelupy
Nosze z kota piękne buty
Mieszkam w zamku Schlossenfiedel
Mam tam piękny czarny kibel

Jestem Pudel z Guadelupy
Nosze z kota piękne buty

Jestem Pudlem z rodowodem
Jeżdżę złotym samochodem

Overall Meaning

The song “Pudel z Guadelupy” by the band Püdelsi is a humorous ode to a pampered and privileged poodle. The lyrics describe the poodle’s physical characteristics, including its straight legs and fluffy coat, and its lifestyle, which includes wearing cat-inspired shoes, driving a golden car, and living in a castle called Schlossenfiedel. The poodle’s parentage is mentioned, with its father being a quick-witted rat terrier. Its mother is described as a water-diver with black, coal-like eyes. The poodle’s offspring are mentioned as being Pekinese dogs, who are characterized as silly and crazy little creatures.

The song’s lyrics seem to satirize the luxurious and extravagant lifestyle that some wealthy pet owners provide for their animals. The use of the word “rodowodem,” which means pedigree, emphasizes the poodle’s elite status, while the reference to the “piękny czarny kibel,” or beautiful black toilet, highlights the ridiculousness of the poodle’s affluent lifestyle. In addition, the use of the word “fryki,” which is slang for crazy or odd, suggests that the poodle’s progeny are as eccentric as their father.

Overall, “Pudel z Guadelupy” is a playful and comical song that pokes fun at the excesses of the upper class and their pets.
