By 1996 he was thoroughly bored by European dance music and moved to Santiago, Chile to explore Latin music. He quickly adopted the intentionally ridiculous Señor Coconut moniker, and soon released El Gran Baile, finding time afterwards to do a little remix work for Towa Tei, formerly of the multi-national Deee-Lite.
His next release, in 2000, was the delightful Latin-Kraftwerk fusion of El Baile Alemán. The album featured several Kraftwerk classics reworked with Latin instrumentation and rhythm. The LP was intended as a salute to, and a parody of Kraftwerk as evidenced by the intro to Autobahn which features the sound of a car that won't start.

Señor Coconut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss,
Oh oh
You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you want to impress me
You can't be to flirty, mama
I know how to undress me, yeah
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time
Don't have to be rich
To be my girl
Don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss
Yes, oh oh oh
Ah
I think I want to dance, uhh, ooohh
Gotta, gotta, oh
Little girl Wendy's parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta
Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food
Yeah
You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your
Kiss
The lyrics of Señor Coconut’s “Kiss” are a playful invitation for someone to engage in a physical relationship with the artist. Although it starts by saying that physical appearance does not matter, the lyrics increasingly imply that there are certain expectations that need to be met for the artist to be satisfied. The song talks about the importance of leaving it all to the artist and not being too flirtatious or too dirty, implying that there should be balance and communication in the relationship. The lyrics also mention how it’s the artist’s fantasy for the other person to enjoy themselves, and that women are the ones who rule the artist’s world.
The song was originally written and performed by Prince, and was later covered by multiple artists, including Señor Coconut. It was first released as a single in 1986, and also appeared on Prince’s album “Parade”. The cover by Señor Coconut, a German musician living in Chile, was released in 2000 as part of his album “El Baile Alemán”. The cover was done in a bossa nova style, which is a genre of Brazilian music that combines samba and jazz. The result is a unique and playful version of the song that is different from the original.

Senor Coconut does an excellent cover of the Prince classic. "You don't have to be rich to be my girl, don't have to be cool to rule my world. Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with. I just want your extra time and your...Kiss."
