Overall Meaning

The lyrics to DJ Hooligan's song B.O.T.T.R.O.P. are an ode to the city of Bottrop, located in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia. The song starts with the artist counting off in German - "one, two, one, two, okay" - before addressing the audience with a rhetorical question: "why do we need Frankfurt, Berlin, or Cologne? New York, London, or Rotterdam? When we have our beautiful Bottrop." The song then repeats the phrase "Kommste nach Bottrop, krisse aum Kopp drop" - which roughly translates to "if you come to Bottrop, your head will drop" - several times.

The second half of the song consists mainly of the repeated refrain "B.O.T.T.R.O.P.", with occasional interjections of the phrase "Alder, fresse ey" - a common colloquial expression in the Ruhr area of Germany, of which Bottrop is a part. Overall, the song can be read as a celebration of Bottrop's unassuming charm, as well as a rejection of the idea that "great" cities are necessarily better than smaller, less well-known ones.
