- aleph_minus_one 3y agoIf you read the lyrics of this song > https://genius.com/Nina-hagen-band-tv-glotzer-white-punks-on-dope-lyrics https://genius.com/Nina-hagen-band-tv-glotzer-white-punks-on... you realize that this song is about some lowly educated proll who watches TV all day. By deliberately using quite some colloquial and unsophisticated words and phrasings in the lyrics, the singer/songwriter sends a very clear message how much TV dulled this person's mind.
- narag 3y agoThank you! no way that I could know that words and phrasings were intentionally dumb from the translation, though the meaning I knew. I'll better look for a different nonsensical bit taken from another song :)
