BAP (German pronunciation:[bap]) is a German rock band. With eleven albums reaching the number one in the German record charts, BAP is one of the most successful rock acts in their home country.
The group was founded in 1976 under the name Wolfgang Niedecken's BAP in Cologne by Wolfgang Niedecken and Hans Heres. In 1981, they released their most famous song "Verdamp lang her" (Damn long time ago), in which Niedecken describes regrets he has about his relationship with his then recently deceased father. The band's name "BAP" derived from "BAPP", both, a play-on-words on the Kölsch word "Papp" (related to the German word dad), but pronounced differently, and Niedecken's then-nickname.
Niedecken translated a collection of Bob Dylan's lyrics to German for his 1995 solo album Leopardefell.[1]
