Popstar - Die Ärzte

Copied!

{Verse 1}
I was never hard-working
But unfortunately my parents aren't rich
Get big money, but how?
The decision was relatively easy
The decision was made relatively easily

{Verse 2}
I just need a hairstyle
I can already play a few chords on the guitar
A record and a tour
And I'm the ultimate star
The King of Rock, the Mister Wonderful

{Pre-Chorus}
I don't have money or high school diploma
Just trouble with censorship at times
I'm not a genius, no, I'm just...

{Chorus}
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

{Verse 3}
I used to be nothing
Now all women are crazy about me
Parties are a must
Where our sort is mightily amused
Where wine gets served with a bamboo umbrella

{Pre-Chorus}
My period of apprenticeship is long ago
I have a manager instead of a boss
I make the money, he does the work

{Chorus}
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

{Bridge}
("You wanted the best and you got it, the hottest band in the land")
Pa-pa-pa (Pop star)
("You wanted the best and you got it, the hottest band in the land")
Pa-pa-pa (Pop star)

{Refrain}
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
(I'm a pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

(Popstar)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pa-pa-pa-pa-pa, pop star
(Pop star)
Pa-pa-pa-pa-pa-pa

{Outro}
"All right boys! This is it"

The meaning of the song

edit description

"Popstar" by Die Ärzte is a catchy and satirical song that pokes fun at the idea of becoming a pop star. The lyrics describe the protagonist's decision to pursue a career in music in order to become rich and famous, despite not being particularly hard-working or talented. As the song progresses, the protagonist revels in their newfound fame, with women falling for them and parties becoming a regular occurrence. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm a pop star" in a playful and repetitive manner, emphasizing the superficiality and glamour associated with the music industry. The song ends with a triumphant outro, capturing the essence of what it means to be a pop star in a humorous and self-aware way.
