The title means "How Stupid You Are" and, before you start smoking, she is talking about NAZIs. You do not need to understand German to understand the video. You may find it highly moving. It's not just talk. Yesterday people in Europe were marching in the streets for refugees.
Karolin Kekebus is Pussy Terror and she's a comedian who happens to be a remarkably good singer.
Maybe you will recall Colonel Klink so which German stereotype would you rather carry. As for me, sorry, Colonel. I never was much for uniforms.
The basis for this song is another called "Wie Schön Du Bist" by Sarah Connor who is loved and famed for the song because she wrote it for her boy when he was in a dark state.
The song is famous so that leaves it begging for a parody and here comes Pussy Terror. Those who love the original are mixed because Pussy Terror did such a great job with this and because what she sings is so much from her heart. Still, part of the purpose is parody and she said specifically anywhere she goes she hears the original song and I hear her because I got that way with "Wrecking Ball." That song was playing constantly and I wanted to strangle the girl ... anything, just make it stop.
It's a giant protest against NAZIs and part won't come without translation as she talks about how NAZIs think they're the master race and then she shows these belligerent bolshie buttercakes as examples of the masters.
So there's comedy and deep poignance all at once.
