Honestly I have not listened to it but my wife has..she likes.

I recall 1999, when a lady took her neighbor to court because his bush was growing into her "Maschendrahtzaun" (chain-link fence).

Televised on a court TV-type reality show, the case and its legalese caused much hilarity and became emblematic for German small-mindedness, and trifling legal issues between neighbors.
en.wikipedia.org...

It also prompted a country song, which still entertains, as well as several political spin-offs on the song.

Stefan Raab - Maschen-draht-zaun:

Historical songs:

Heidi Brühl - Hundert Mann und ein Befehl (the German version of the "Ballad of the Green Beret", 1966).



World War I - Wildgänse rauschen durch die Nacht:



Praesentier March von Kaiser Wilhelm II:



World War II: Panzerlied (song of the tank unit):



So many wars, from Roman colonialism to wars for religion and royalty, to modern politics.
These songs actually hide incredible tragedy and loss.
Marlene Dietrich explores the pathos, and a longing for peace in the song "Sag mir wo die Blumen sind?" ("Where have all the flowers gone?"):

das Lied vom einsamen Mädchen - Nico

Tonbandgerät - Irgendwie Anders
