Was ist das? Was kann das? Wer hat sich das bloß überlegt? Und wo soll uns das alles hinführen? Was soll das? Was bringt das? Wie lange machen wir noch mit? Bringt uns das ewig durch die Nacht?
Wie originell, wie originell - kein Proble, ich kann noch fahren. Wie originell, wie originell - Führerschein, Fahrzeugpapiere! Wie originell, wie originell - besser als um einen Baum gewickelt. Wie originell.

Love A's song "Originell" is a commentary on the monotony and predictability of party culture. The repeated phrase "Wie originell" (how original) is used sarcastically to point out the lack of creativity and individuality in party behavior. The first verse mentions typical party locations and activities, such as going to a bar or club, and even a kissing contest. The second verse raises questions about the purpose and value of these types of events, and asks if they are truly fulfilling or just temporary distractions. The final verse touches on the dangerous consequences of partying, such as drunk driving, and suggests that there may be more meaningful ways to spend one's time.
