Never Mind The Hosen, Here's Die Roten Rosen
''Never Mind the Hosen, Here's Die Roten Rosen'', sometimes ''Never Mind the Hosen, Here's Die Roten Rosen (aus Düsseldorf)'' is the first cover album of the German punk band Die Toten Hosen, released under the pseudonym Die Roten Rosen (The Red Roses). The band covers German schlagers on the album. This is the first DTH album to reach the charts. According to Campino, this album has won the most from the release of remasters (2007), because the impact was initially lost, but regained with remastering. The title and the cover are parodies of Sex Pistols' album ''Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols''. To coincide with the pseudonym, which was used for the first time, the label was changed from ToT 69 to ROT 69 and Totenkopf to Rosenkopf.

Im Wagen Vor Mir
"Im Wagen vor mir" (''In the car in front of me'') is a humorous song originally performed as a duet by Henry Valentino (whose real name is Hans Blum) and Uschi (later replaced with Daffi Cramer). In the song, Valentino is driving on the autobahn, in the middle of a long trip, and day-dreaming about the woman in the car ahead of him—he wonders what she is like and what it would be like to know her. Meanwhile, the woman becomes increasingly worried about the man in the car behind her, wondering if he might be a policeman or a stalker. The humor arises from the fact that Valentino's character is in a very good mood, day-dreaming and listening to music, with no thought that he might be doing anything wrong, while the woman finally becomes so angry and upset that she exits the freeway before she wants to in order to get him to stop following her. In the original version, Valentino sings in a gravelly-voiced style similar to that of Tom Waits. The song was only a minor hit when it ...
