Quoted as one of the main influences for 'boerepunk' heroes Johannes Kerkorrel and Koos Kombuis to start writing the songs that would later change the face of Afrikaans music, this could be regarded as the album that started all the trouble. Songs about smoking zol, girls, cars, the army, moustaches, Springs, Pretoria and other aspects of white trash SA lifestyles. A cataloguers nightmare.

Oorspronklik as finale thesis vir Bernoldus Niemand se studies te Grahamstown gedien, dit is nie aanvaar nie. Dit is verban deur die universiteit en ook die SAUK. Liedtjies vanaf die plaat word bekende volkstreffers, soos die anti-konskripsie liedtjie 'Hou my vas korporaal' en die ode to Gerrie Coetzee, 'Die Boksburg Bommer'. 'Snôr City' daarenteen word een van die mees gebruikte benamings vir "die grooste afrikaner stad", Pretoria.
