Palast Orchester.Max Raabe Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't have to be beautiful
To turn me on
I just need your body baby
From dusk till dawn
You don't need experience
To turn me out
You just leave it all up to me
I'm gonna show you what it's all about

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your

Kiss,
Oh oh

You got to not talk dirty, baby
If you want to impress me
You can't be to flirty, mama
I know how to undress me, yeah
I want to be your fantasy
Maybe you could be mine
You just leave it all up to me
We could have a good time

Don't have to be rich
To be my girl
Don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your

Kiss
Yes, oh oh oh

Ah
I think I want to dance, uhh, ooohh
Gotta, gotta, oh
Little girl Wendy's parade
Gotta, gotta, gotta

Women not girls rule my world
I said they rule my world
Act your age, mama (not your shoe size)
Not your shoe size
Maybe we could do the twirl
You don't have to watch Dynasty
To have an attitude
You just leave it all up to me
My love will be your food
Yeah

You don't have to be rich
To be my girl
You don't have to be cool
To rule my world
Ain't no particular sign I'm more compatible with
I just want your extra time and your





Kiss

Overall Meaning

Max Raabe's song "Kiss" is a cover of Prince's classic 1986 hit. The song is a playful and romantic invitation to a potential lover, as Raabe sings about how the person does not have to meet certain criteria to win his affection. He sings that someone doesn't have to be beautiful or rich, but rather that he is simply looking for someone to share a kiss with. Although Raabe retains the original lyrics of the song, his version is set to a big band jazz instrumental which gives it a nostalgic yet timeless feel.


The lyrics "Don't have to be rich to be my girl, don't have to be cool to rule my world" are about how love does not discriminate and can be found within anyone, regardless of their social standing or preferences. The verses "You don't have to watch Dynasty to have an attitude, you just leave it all up to me, my love will be your food" express the idea that it is unnecessary to conform to societal expectations or trends, as true love is satisfying in itself.

This is the funniest song I have ever heard from Max and the Palast Orchester.  I am literally rolling on the floor.  It is DROP DEAD funny.....wish I could see his facial expressions....

Mi piace... montaggio molto dinamico e ottimo sound!!! Ti lascio un altro sorriso, Anita

questa è una versione "sant'emule"...quando ero un fuorilegge:) ops, forse non dovevo dirlo. se scorri un po' sotto i commenti trovi un altro video con le strane cose che fa' Federico. è un bravo restauratore, ma io vado matto per le sue cose fuori di testa oltre che per come dipinge. lo sai che questo video sono riuscito a farglielo vedere solo un mese fa', chiedendo al barista di collegarsi a yt mentre prendevamo un caffè...lui e il computer non hanno un gran feeling:))

Ma grazie!!! No, non conosco questo artista! Ci voleva l'allegria di questo video!!! Complimenti agli artisti! Musica perfetta! Ciaoooo...Alice

oznecinquantotto

se vai a vedere il video di risposta trovi altri personaggi e oggetti strani. Federico è uno dei pochi che fa' quello che gli piace come lavoro...almeno che io conosca. non ha avuto molti problemi a mollare un lavoro sicuro per seguire quello che amava fare e credo che tutto sommato non lo rimpianga. in più ha il privilegio di vivere accanto alla sua musa tutto il giorno:) grazie a te:)

oznecinquantotto

solo un paio di settimane fa' sono riuscito a far vedere questo video "ai due negozianti":))) eravamo nel bar dove ti avevo consigliato di andare col pc dei figli...lo guardavano muovendosi a tempo di musica...credo sia piaciuto:)

jaja(voloinaltoancheio)

fantasticiiiii che meravigliaaaaaaa!il video del buon umore ha funzionato:)buona giornata:)

oznecinquantotto

purtroppo per me, in vetrina non c'è più la ballerina e la donna portaborse...ora aspetto le nuove creazioni di Federico. l'ultima volta che l'ho visto stava "truccando" la piazza del paese. ciao a te:)

oznecinquantotto

2 marzo:)) guarda che lo penso veramente che le visualizzazioni siano dovute principaòmente alla canzone e poi dipende anche da dove vai a finire con quel titolo...se sei nei primi video proposti ne avrai sicuramente di più di quello che è in sesta pagina. però qualunque sia il motivo, sono contento che questo video sia visto e che sia anche di buon augurio per la moglie dell'artista che stà velocemente recuperando da un intoppo, con l'artista che le fà da amorevole infermiere:) sono bellissimi.

oznecinquantotto

hai visto in quanti hanno guardato i lavori della coppia più bella del mondo...è merito di chi canta, però mi piace pensare che apprezzino anche le immagini:)
