He often ended the song with an unexpected punchline, giving listeners an opportunity to reflect on themselves. Maybe that’s why his lyrics became popular, but they never lost their depth. He became a lyricist completely by accident, when the poet Rudolf Skukálek approached him to write reviews about song lyrics.

She revealed something that many people did not know about him. “Perhaps father worked in that theater or on television, on stage – as a very cheerful person. I think that’s what he always wanted, to make people laugh all his life. Then it might sound like a paradox to some uninitiated that he wasn’t like that at home. He was rather thoughtful, probing, introverted,” writer Hana Lasicová revealed about her father.
