Achtung Achtung
Lassen Sie sich nicht täuschen
Obwohl es zunächst so aussieht
Als ginge es um Ihre Unterhaltung
Geht es doch letztlich darum
Da Sie Ihre Sympathien
Und Ihr Geld
Dem Trio geben
Ab dafür





Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trio's song Achtung Achtung are a warning to the listener to not be fooled by what appears to be entertainment. Despite the surface level of the song being about having fun, there is an underlying message about giving your sympathy and money to Trio. This is emphasized with the repeated phrase "Ab dafür" which roughly translates to "give it up". The song seems to be a commentary on consumerism and the manipulation of media to influence people's actions.


The lyrics embody the satirical and irreverent attitude that Trio was known for in their music. The band gained popularity in the early 1980s with their punk-influenced and minimalist style. Achtung Achtung is a prime example of their style, with its repetitive melody and lyrics that are both catchy and provocative. The song is a reminder to be aware of the message behind the "entertainment" we consume.
