The tracks which feature "Johnny" at the start of the title are short humorous skits, in which the punchline usually changes the perspective of the previous part from a stereotypical Mafia-style criminal situation into something much more common and everydayish due to words with multiple meanings - e.g. in "Feuer", Johnny asks his boss whether he has fire (for a cigarette), and his boss responds with opening gunfire, and in "Bullen", Johnny warns his boss about "the bulls are coming" (German slang, similar to "the cops are coming"), to which the boss responds "let them in", followed by the noise of a bull stampede.

The band attempted to become better known in the international market by releasing their first – and only – English language single "Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery" in 1986 (apart from a translation of the song "Ding Dong").

This English-language version of "Ba-Ba-Banküberfall", which was originally released in 1985 as a single but only in Germany appears on the Geld oder Leben album.

The 12" (or maxi) version appears on the Kann denn Schwachsinn Sünde sein?

"Ba-Ba-Bankrobbery" is basically a rap song about how a man with no money can survive and comes up with the idea of robbing a bank as he cannot think of any other way.

Despite the band's failed attempt to gain international fame, they still remain quite popular in Germany and Austria.
