Captain Jackis a musical duo, specializing inEurodancemusic, originating fromGermany.Its members (since 2000) were Francisco Alejandro Gutierrez (stage name:Franky Gee), and Sunny. The original female vocalist on the group's debut in 1995 was Liza Da Costa, replaced in 1999 byMaria Lucia 'Maloy' Lozanes, who was replaced by Ilka-Anna-Antonia Traue (stage name: Illi Love) in 2001.Captain Jack's music (and Franky Gee's persona) was stylized as a form of military training. Franky's costume consisted of a stylized military officer's uniform, with a red hat based on that of theUS Marines. His other clothing was styled similarly to aUS Armyofficers dress uniform. Franky chose this style because of his service in theUnited States Army. After ending his time in the US Army, Franky remained in Germany, where he was last stationed, and began a recording career under the name "Westside."While recording music under that name, he proposed the idea of a dance track based on a drill routine. That idea became his style: songs about peace and love in the style of a military regime. The hat—a US Marines "barracks cover" hat, in the color scheme evoking theSovietRed Army—further protests the idea of the military, while symbolizing the idea of national unity.
