Ein Bisschen Spaß Muss Sein

The good mood guarantee for every evening: Schlager. You either hate them or you love them. But usually both at the same time. But everyone can sing along. And for those who are resistant to a good mood, Roland Kaiser famously recommends "Sieben Fässer Wein".

Pop songs take a close look at life, or the life you would like to lead. Travelling, for example, was once an expensive pleasure that not everyone could afford. Greece was considered exotic and women dreamed of white roses from Athens or a glass of Greek wine followed by a sirtaki by Alexis Sorbas.

But the most exciting adventures were and still are usually found on our own doorstep. Whether it's the little bit of housework or the mum sung about by Heintje. She deserves tulips from Amsterdam and red roses, but the reality is usually different. But with a little humour, even this conflict can be avoided.

Because: a bit of fun is a must.
