Interpretation
In the song lyrics "Das ganze Leben ist ein Quiz" by
Hape Kerkeling, it is about how life is like a quiz and we are just the contestants. We have to guess all the time, guess, guess. The text talks about how we gather in front of the television and watch quiz shows. We prepare by consulting encyclopedias and books, but also asking our grandma for advice.
