- std_throwaway 7y agoOfficial video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m7bHdcq87o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0m7bHdcq87o Translated lyrics: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/mutter-der-mann-mit-dem-koks-ist-da-mother-man-cokes-there.html https://lyricstranslate.com/en/mutter-der-mann-mit-dem-koks-... Important to know: * Koks: Coke as in coal but also Cocaine as in drug. * Kohle: Coal but also Money. The song reflects on the situation after WW2 where people were freezing in the winter and longed for warmth but had no money to pay. This is contrasted with the party generation of the 90s.
