Are Acda En De Munnik now comedians or is it a pop group? Thomas Acda and Paul de Munnik themselves are not quite sure either, as evidenced by the explanation in the CD booklet with Liedjes Van Lenny. Originally the intention was to write songs for a theater performance - the 'rock musical' Ren Lenny Ren - and to release them on CD only in a demo-like version. But once the material was performed,
… Acda En De Munnik found out 'that we are really a nice band', and with that band the CD Liedjes Van Lenny was recorded. Liedjes Van Lenny has everything that has made Acda En De Munnik the most successful 'cabarockers' in the Netherlands: melancholic lyrics, two-part vocals and playful use of language. Producer and band member JB Meijers has added a pleasant roots / americana-like atmosphere to the characteristic Acda En De Munnik sound, which makes Liedjes Van Lenny sound more interesting musically and gives the CD just that little bit more.
