Walkman is a Sony brand tradename originally used for portable audio cassette players, and now used to market Sony's portable audio and video players as well as a line of former Sony Ericsson mobile phones. The original Walkman introduced a change in music listening habits by allowing people to carry music with them and listen to music through lightweight headphones.
The prototype was built in 1978 by audio-division engineer Nobutoshi Kihara for Sony co-chairman Akio Morita, who wanted to be able to listen to operas during his frequent trans-Pacific plane trips. The original Walkman was marketed in 1979 as the Walkman in Japan, the Soundabout in many other countries including the US, Freestyle in Sweden and the Stowaway in the UK. Advertising, despite all the foreign languages, still attracted thousands of buyers in the US specifically. Morita hated the name "Walkman" and asked that it be changed, but relented after being told by junior executives that a promotion campaign had already begun using the brand name and that it would be too expensive to change.

Genres: ,Lolita war ein Mädchen
Mit Hang zum Personal
Sie libte junge Männer
Mit Muskeln hart wie Stahl
Doch für Diamanten
Und ne Schussfahrt im Schnee
Stieg sie in die Federn
Mit dem dicken Bankier
Der sagte seiner Frau
Dass Männer halt so sind
Und man sah ihr deutlich an
Wie schnell die Zeit verrinnt
Sie drohte dann mit Scheidung
Da hat er nur gelacht
Und sprach das magic word
Ehevertrag
Ich sitz in deinem Walkman
Und schrie dir ins Ohr
Ich trage keine Waffen
Das ist nicht mein Ressort
Ich bin kein Schwarzenegger
kein Bombenmuselmann
Eher wie Boris Becker
Dem du blind vertrauen kannst
Ich war neulich im Fernsehen
In ner Talkshow oder so
Da traf ich dann mein Spiegelbild
Auf dem Garderobenklo
Ich hab nicht lang gefackelt
Und sahte ihm meine Meinung
Über die gesamte deutsche
Wiedervereinigung
Ich sitz in deinem Walkman
Oh, ich kenne dieses Lächeln
Diese zynische Bemerkung
Aufgebahrt im Büsserhemd
Und bettelt um Verstärkung
Gott sei Dank
Klingelte dann irgendwo ein Handy
Da konnte ich in aller Ruhe
Meine Bilanz ziehen
Ich sitz in deinem Walkman
