ERIK erklärt im Video:
“What do you give to a guy that got everything? Happy birthday buddy! My version of the song `Tenement Funster`“.

Lyrics:
My new purple shoes
They’ve been amazing the people next door
And my rock ’n roll 45’s
Have been enraging the folks on the lower floor
I’ve got a way with the girls on my block
Tryin‘ my best to be a real individual
And when we go down to Smokies and rock
They line up like it’s some kind of ritual
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair’s a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I’ll make the speed of light outta this place
I like the good things in life
But most of the best things ain’t free
So this same situation, just cuts like a knife
When you’re young, and you’re poor, and you’re crazy
(Crazy, young and you’re crazy, young and you’re crazy)
Ooh, give me a good guitar
And you can say that my hair’s a disgrace
Or just find me an open car
I’ll make the speed of light outta this place
