This arguably led to their downfall, as both Dampfriemen and Individuellos - the associated album - failed to meet the same success commercially.

However, the A-side - whilst definitely light-hearted and comedic - is not explicitly festive and has no lyrics, perhaps contributing to its failure.

Kazoos and percussion instruments feature prominently in the song, as well as the band's signature synthesizers.

The B-side - "Individuellos" - is vocal, featuring lyrics in both German and English.

In the UK the single was released by Albion Records in 1981, with "Tintarella Di..." replacing "Individuellos" as the B-side.
