Subway Jam Session: KIDDO KAT, Heidi Joubert, and Ozzy Lino Light Up Frankfurt’s S-Bahn

What happens when a packed S-Bahn car turns into a stage and funk takes the wheel? A crowd gets a memory it will talk about for years.

This is a raw, joyful aftershow jam with KIDDO KAT, Heidi Joubert, and a surprise guest, Ozzy Lino, riffing on Prince’s classic “Kiss,” adding freestyle bars, and pulling the whole train into the groove. It is casual, loud, and wildly fun, with claps, cheers, and voices blending over a moving beat.

The Spark of the Session: A Spontaneous Subway Groove

It starts with a quick setup and a burst of sound, the kind that says, everyone, eyes up. The music kicks in, people clap on instinct, and a chorus of “check it out” sets the mood. Music swells, applause pops, and laughter slips in between bars. The vibe is loose and instant. No stage lights, no barriers, just the kind of energy that lives in the moment.

KIDDO KAT drives the melody with a cool, playful vocal, leaning into Prince’s cheeky lines. Heidi Joubert locks the pulse with crisp percussion that cuts through the hum of the train. Then a voice from the crowd joins in. The “random guy” turns out to be Ozzy Lino, and he threads a rap verse into the funk like it was planned all along. It was not planned, and that is why it works so well.

The crowd feels it too. They clap on the beat, shout, laugh, and sing along. The whole car becomes part of the arrangement. It sounds like a party, because it is one

Diving into the Lyrics: Prince’s “Kiss” Gets a Fresh Twist

“Kiss” is one of those songs that lives by the swing of its groove and the snap of its lines. Here, the heart of it rings through in real time. The message stays the same: love does not need cash or status. It just needs spark.

They plant the hook early and often. “You don’t have to be rich to be my girl” comes back like a drum hit. It pulls the car into a chorus, and people clap and sing without missing a beat. It is flirty and playful, simple and sharp.

The jam slides between words, riffs, and call-and-response. Even when the lyrics blur, the meaning stays clear. The vocal ad-libs keep the crowd high. “Yeah, baby”, “talking about”, and “come on” pop between beats like a friend egging you on from the dance floor. It adds to the sense that this is not a recital, it is a shared moment

Heidi’s percussion speaks like a second voice. Sharp slaps, warm thumps, and offbeat accents keep everything bouncy and tight. It is a classroom in timing, and it keeps feet tapping even in a cramped train.

Somewhere mid-song, the mic opens to a freestyle that flips the script. Ozzy Lino starts with a scene that feels real: being broke, waiting in the car, and needing a pick-me-up. It fits the tone of “Kiss” without stepping on it. He paints a small movie with short lines and quick pivots

Live music breathes because people react. Here, the applause and cheers carry as much weight as any chorus. It is not polite clapping, it is active fuel. Shouts of “yeah, baby” and bursts of laughter sync with drum hits. When the call comes, “come on y’all, clap your hands,” the car answers like a choir.

The group chemistry is easy to spot. KIDDO KAT stretches a phrase, Heidi catches it with a quick accent, and Ozzy fills the pocket. The track keeps its original identity, but it grows new branches with every bar. Even the small moments, like a laugh between lines or someone calling for more, give it life.

The performance builds toward a peak with shoutouts and crowd love. Someone signals a friend with, “give it up for my man over here, ladies and gentlemen.” Applause breaks open and carries. The room, or rather the car, turns into a team. That sense of shared joy ties the whole thing together.

Right near the end, there is a sly tag that seals the theme. Someone throws in a line from Macklemore’s “Thrift Shop”: “I’m gonna pop some tags, only got $20 in my pocket.” It is a wink and a grin, a reminder that joy does not need a big budget. It fits the spirit of “Kiss,” and the car loves it.

Short, messy breaks, live applause, and easy talk between lines turn a cover into a moment that feels human and close.

Featured Performance: Why This “Kiss” Cover Works

Prince wrote “Kiss” to move people, and this version keeps that pulse alive. The arrangement stays close to the backbone of the song, with space for handclaps, call-and-response, and a backbeat strong enough to push through the noise of the train. It uses the room. It invites voices. It leans into fun.

The best covers honor the song while bringing something personal. Here, the personal touch arrives through timing and tone. KIDDO KAT teases lines and lets the chords breathe. Heidi adds volume when the crowd rises, then pulls it back to let a lyric land. Ozzy’s freestyle turns the second half into a neighborhood story. It feels like a block party in motion.
