This german song is about a phenomenon, that might be stereotypically german and about the german humor to make fun of our own precision in trying to do everything right. What of course is never possible.
Especially in old conservative organizations like e.g. the GEMA (THE german collectors organization, probably the only one in the world that still does not have a pleasing deal with YT...)...
So, with kind help of google translate i translated the text, because it is worth it...
Spoken explanation:
We, the band Your Mothers are members of the GEMA. GEMA is a society that represents the rights of musicians.
And for GEMA to work effectively, it is very important that every artist, including us, logs in to each new song. We have written many songs in the course of this program, so we have created a list, with all the songs, and sent this list to GEMA. And there sits someone who typed these whole song titles into the great GEMA database.
And to this man we dedicated this song:
"The Guy Typing The Titles At The GEMA Is A Very Dumb Jerk"
There are many, both women and men
They carry this copyright association
And the one typing the title is a stupid dog
Spoken explanation:
Now please do not misunderstand us, we have nothing against the guy, we do not know him at all. What we like about the whole thing is just the following idea: one sits all day in his office and gets hundreds of lists of thousands of titles, and then enters things like: Patrick Lindner with "I love you" Silvermond with "I love you unlikely", Charles Aznavour with "I love you so much, that it is really no more fun, Mon Chéri", Your Mothers with ... what ?!
As we have called this song, you can imagine, the title is:
"The Guy Typing The Titles At The GEMA Is A Very Dumb Jerk"
We bring this now to this very simple denominator
Because what wouldn't you do for a good joke
The guy typing the title is a stupid spike
Spoken explanation:
The beauty of the whole thing is, it does not only work with new songs.
Nooo, tonight, for example, the team from the theater has to submit a list to the GEMA, which says that this beautiful song was played once again.
And whether our friend at GEMA wants or not, he has to enter this title. The musical quality does not interest at all. You can pluck on a distorted white owl, you can sing, you can talk - no matter.
The only thing GEMA is interested in is the title of the song and the length of the song. And with the length, there is still a little special feature: if a song is longer than 4 minutes, then it is called a so-called "long song".
And for such a long song, our friend at the GEMA also mark the title in his database in BOLD. And in order to reach this magical 4-minute limit, we are now putting a general pause, as one says in the GEMA-slang.
15 seconds break
This is all part of the song, you get that? ...
10 seconds break
That was the general pause, we have reached our goal. And since every beautiful song traditionally ends with its refrain, here it is again:
The guy typing the title at the GEMA is a very stupid bum!
We hope this song stays in our live shows as a real hit
So the guy still often glimpses at his list
And screams: "The three have already played it again!"
song length 4:44
Especially in old conservative organizations like e.g. the GEMA (THE german collectors organization, probably the only one in the world that still does not have a pleasing deal with YT...)...
