What happens when an old geezer, a cheeky rascal, and a dawdler meet – and suddenly words start flying around that haven't been heard in ages?

"The Old Geezer and the Rascal" is the song for the novel of the same name by Manfred Harlos, bringing a nearly forgotten German language musicality back to the present.

Amidst Muckefuck, Heiermann, Bohei, Pipapo, and a whole lot of Kokolores, different generations, quirky characters, and the small stories of everyday life encounter each other. Nothing is explained – the words are simply allowed to live again.

Musically, the song combines humor, warmth, and a modern, driving sound with a linguistic world that may be familiar to some and completely new to others.

A tongue-in-cheek song about friendship, language, and real life in the neighborhood – and a musical invitation into the world of the novel "The Old Geezer and the Rascal – Nonsense from the Neighborhood."
