Dritte Wahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Für Äpfel, Birnen, Zwetschgen, für Tomaten und Zitronen
Für Mangos, Kiwis, Aprikosen, Kirschen, Nektarinen
Für Erdbeeren, Heidelbeeren, Bananen, Pfirsich, Manderinen
Für Maracuja, Ananas, für Feigen, Datteln, Pflaumen
Für Kokosnüsse, Stachelbeeren, Apfelsinen, Trauben
Für Mandeln, Kürbis, Gurken, Chicoree und Clementinen
Für Pampelmusen, Passionsfrucht, Rharbarber und Rosinen
Und wenn du eine Platte hast mußt du sie jetzt umdrehen
Dreh sie um, schmeiß sie weg, brech sie durch, hack sie klein
Zünd sie an, häng sie auf, werf sie runter, grab sie ein
Blas sie auf, koch sie weich, bohr sie an, fahr sie über
Frier sie ein, schieß sie ab, friss sie auf, mach sie hinüber
The lyrics to Dritte Wahl's song Melodien für Melonen can be interpreted as a playful celebration of music and food. The first stanza lists a plethora of fruit and vegetables, emphasizing the richness and diversity of nature's offerings. The repetition of the phrase "für" (for) suggests that music can be a way of celebrating and praising the various fruits and veggies, perhaps as a way of connecting with the earth and its cycles. The second stanza takes a sudden turn towards violence and destruction, with a list of different ways to destroy or manipulate a record. This juxtaposition of destruction and creation can be seen as a metaphor for the cyclical nature of life - just as a record can be destroyed and remade, so can our bodies and the food we eat.
Overall, this song can be interpreted as a celebration of life's simple pleasures, such as fresh produce and music, while also acknowledging the darker sides of human nature and the impermanence of all things.

Und wenn du eine Platte hast mußt du sie jetzt umdrehen
If you've got a record, flip it over, and let our tunes take over. We guarantee that it will be worth your while.
Dreh sie um, schmeiß sie weg, brech sie durch, hack sie klein
In fact, if you're not feeling the music on the current side, you can turn it over, throw it away, smash it, or chop it into pieces. Just make sure you listen to our music instead.
Zünd sie an, häng sie auf, werf sie runter, grab sie ein
If you're feeling dramatic, you can light it on fire, hang it up, drop it from a height, or dig it into the ground. Or, you know, you could just listen to our tunes and save yourself the trouble.
Blas sie auf, koch sie weich, bohr sie an, fahr sie über
Maybe you can inflate it like a balloon, boil it until it's soft, pierce it with a needle or run over it with your car. But all of these sound far less entertaining than the songs we've got in store for you.
Frier sie ein, schieß sie ab, friss sie auf, mach sie hinüber
Freeze it, shoot it, eat it, or just throw it away. Whatever you do, just listen to our music instead. It's much more satisfying.
