With FC Bayern, things had gone "boom" for Gerd Müller in the form of Bundesliga goals 365 times. He should have left it at this sporting component. Instead, the man from Nördlingen ventured into the recording studio in 1969 — and out came "Dann macht es Bumm" (Then It Goes Boom), an embarrassing piece of work that not even the B-side "Wenn das runde Leder rollt" (When the Round Ball Rolls) could salvage.
One could practically detect Müller's lack of enthusiasm for the project during the singing — for this episode from the series "Rhyme It, Or I'll Eat You!" "Jeden Samstagnachmittag, ja da ist was los" (Every Saturday afternoon, there's something going on), the Bomber toiled, "immer wieder ist die Spannung riesengroß" (the excitement is always huge). "Alle wollen Tore sehn, das ist sonnenklar, wenn es klappt, dann ist es wunderbar" (Everyone wants to see goals, that's crystal clear; if it works out, then it's wonderful). To his credit, wife Uschi conceded years later that her Gerd would certainly never do it again.
