After working as an insurance agent for 11 years, Olaf Henning created the uplifting dance-pop track "Der Clown (Die Manege Ist Leer)" and secured a deal with Polydor. The 1998 single release proved hugely popular, moving 100,000 units on the strength of its catchy melody. Additional bright, well-received club numbers soon appeared, including "Herzdame" in 1998 and "Echt Kacke" the following year, yet his signature success arrived in 2000 with the playful "Cowboy und Indianer" and its signature lasso-twirling line dance. A 2006 remix issued on CD single prompted the song to re-enter the German charts.
