Here is a remastered version of my german and groovy disco song called "Dancefloorman" that I've written and recorded way back in 2004. Enjoy!

Dancefloorman Remastered

9 years ago I recorded this lovely cover version of the charming and at the same time politically incorrect christmas song "Baby, it's cold outside" with the charming actress and singer Adrienne Zitt (you might know her from the TV show "Outlander"). I played all instruments and arranged the beautiful violas, played by the wonderful Bernadette Ott. Now I have re-mastered this little piece of music. I hope you like the result. I wish you all a merry christmas and a fabulous start into 2024.

Baby Its Cold Outside [REMASTERED]

Lyrics:

music for fucking grannies
music for fucking grannies
fucking grannies, fucking grannies
(*fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck*)

this is what fucking grannies
like to hear when they are
knitting in their room

music for fucking grannies 
music for fucking grannies 


Music For Fucking Grannies

My x-mas song for 2016. Enjoy!

Christmas is here to stay (Richard Kapp / December 2015)

Christmas, 
such a crisis,
Christmas,
such a mess

tryin’ to find a last-minute gift
for friends who probably will not like them much,
awkward smiles and family gatherings,
buying a poor Christmas tree

Christmas,
such a crisis,
Christmas,
such a mess

Our world is in no proper shape,
but we are baking, celebrating,
there is simply no escape,
Christmas is here to stay

is here to stay
is here to stay




Christmas Is Here To Stay

Richard Kapp - Mairzy doats (cover)

Richard Kapp, born 1976, is a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, living in the city of Vienna, Austria. He composes, sings and plays his very own quirky but touching music. Some say he sounds a bit like The Divine Comedy, others say Richard reminds them of Rufus Wainwright or Ben Folds.
After all, Richard thinks he sounds like Kapp. His music is always fresh and surprising and you never know what to expect. Living between sarcasm, melancholy and hope, he makes use of all kind of styles without forcing them to come together. He is brave enough to use quirky touches of Jazz, Classical Music fragments or Folk if he thinks that it supports the meaning more than pop can do. Actually, Richard does not give a damn about styles and categories at all.
