Interpretation
This song tells the story of a witch named 'Wackelzahn' who, despite her ability to do magic, has a problem she can't solve - her bad teeth. The witch only has one tooth in her mouth, even though she likes to eat sweet things like marzipan, which suggests that her bad eating habits may have led to her dental problem.
In the chorus 'He, he Hexe Wackelzahn, Schau Dir Deinen Dackel an, Wie der Dackel beißen kann, He, he Hexe Wackelzahn.', she is asked to look at her dachshund, who despite his size can bite hard, which contrasts with her and her missing tooth.
The song also points out that, despite her abilities as a witch, certain things, like the health of her teeth, cannot be solved with magic. This is made clear in the lines 'Gegen faule Zähne hilft kein Zaubersalz, Keine Hexenküche und kein Krötenschmalz. Gegen faule Zähne hilft kein Knopf im Ohr, Keine schwarze Katze und kein Hexenchor.'.
Overall, the song can be seen as a humorous reminder of the importance of dental health and the limitations of wishful thinking and simple solutions. It teaches children in a playful way that problems are often not solved by magic, but by practical solutions and good habits.
