“And today we’re fuckable again. Horny girls, horny boys there…” you can hear it roaring around the clock from all corners of Playa de Palma on Mallorca for a good two weeks now…
The melody of “Bumsbar” sticks in your head right away, the lyrics are simple and easy to sing along to. Even if nobody would have believed that it was after “Layla” last year there could still be an increase the new scandal song entered the German single charts at number 11.
The song comes back from the hit forge of the “Layla” makers around Ikke Hipgold (46) and his music label Summerfield. Together with DJ Robin (27, real name Robin Leutner) and Schürze (32, real name Michael Müller), the trio is on the way to writing Ballermann history again this year.
“Bumsbar” now gets under your skin
While the party crowd between the beer king and the megapark is sipping one or the other sangria, the level rises and some stupid ideas become reality. Ikke Hipgold to BILD: “I was recently at the Bierkönig. Then someone said, ‘Ikke, Ikke, look, I’ve got a Bumsbar tattoo now’. I told him it looked like shit and he said ‘it would have looked better if you had done it’. That’s how the idea came about that Bumsbar is now available in the original Ikke lettering.”
In the night from Wednesday to Thursday, Ikke Hipgold celebrated his comeback in “Upper Bavaria” on Mallorca. The place was packed, the atmosphere was great and he himself sang the chart-breaker “Bumsbar” in addition to his Ballermann hits.
Hip Gold is now back home, but keeps getting photos of “Bumsbar tattoos” sent to him. She also gets an apron. He to BILD: “I’m not a fan of tattoos, after all, you don’t put a sticker on a Ferrari.”
Fans have “Bumsbar” tattooed
Here Ikke is doing a tattoo himself
After the Layla hype last year (the word “Layla” has been tattooed multiple times on the playa, too DJ Robin has the title of the number 1 single on his skin), it was only a matter of time before malle ultras and people in a drinking mood got so-called “booze tattoos” again this year. “Somehow I would also be happy if people later walked around with the titles of 20 of our songs. As an artist, that makes me proud,” Schürze continues.
All Baller-Baller an der Playa?
But not only the high chart position of “Bumsbar” is crowned with success for Ikke and his music label. The till also rings in the tattoo studio on the promenade in El Arenal. “Bumsbar” will be engraved for 40 euros until the end of May. Whether it’s a good idea to return home from your Malle holiday with this word remains to be seen.
In the end, Mutti will be wide-eyed at the coffee table and, stuttering, try to explain to the great-aunt that this is not about slippery permissiveness, but about a song that will be in the charts in the summer of 2023.
