Wikipedia article




"'Wie es geht'" ("How to do it", lit. "How it goes") is a punk song by Die rzte. It is the first track and the first single from their 2000 album 'Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbarer!'. The singer addresses a woman, trying several times to tell her "I love you", but keeps on ending up saying "(I just don't know) how to do it"; at the end of the song he finally manages to say the words.

The packaging of the single was made to resemble a cheap, consumer level CD-R and alludes to music piracy.

The video



In the video, most of the time, the band is performing the song on a yacht. Other scenes include the band driving a motorboat and Farin singing to different women.
