It's the capital letter "G"... I don't want to be pedantic and it may sound strange to English native speakers, but "Gegen" is a clear mistake ("gegen" = preposition).
EDIT: Sorry, I made a mistake, too! I think the name of the hamster (!) - the star of Mike Krüger's TV show - is "Willi"...

"Capitalizing 'gegen' makes it look like a noun (German nouns start with a capital letter)."
But in titles or headlines we have caps like in English. For example
Der Große Preis
was a famous TV show and the adjective (Große) was capitalized or
"Wetten Dass" has caps etc etc
That's really nit picking

@ ThomasQuinn: It's a great film! But my nickname mainly represents the first letter of my name...

I don't agree with you. In Germany or Austria no one writes "4 Gegen Willi"! (Everybody can easily check it on Google.)
"But in titles or headlines we have caps like in English." This is not correct IMO. "Der Große Preis" is possibly an exception (as you said: "große" is an adjective and not a preposition), but see for instance: http://www.zdf.de/ZDFde/inhalt/14/0,1872,1021614,00.html / http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Der_gro%C3%9Fe_Preis
"Wetten Dass" is wrong, the correct spelling of this title is "Wetten, dass..?" (http://www.zdf.de/ZDFde/inhalt/27/0,1872,1001627,00.html)
"That's really nit picking": Of course I know. ;-)

Why? Cause anyone here cares about German grammar? Talk about going off-subject. BTW, Mr. Quinn, I missed your response to my post in another thread. Here's my reply to your oh-so-knowledgable post:

Off-topic: I just have downloaded from the Hub (from Stefano) interview with Roger (1987) where he says that he "even contributed a tiny bit" to "Barcelona" track. And he thought it's gonna be # 1 hit.
Roger seems to be completely drunk during the interview... Or too much excited!

In fact, in an Italian interview with Roger and Spike Roger says that "Shove It" is a half solo album. Also Clayton says they only added the instruments, but no other involvement (that's why he probably does not find that record that interesting). But despite that, it's called The Cross :)
Thanks for the good work John, again.
