  • "Sie kratzt, sie stinkt, sie klebt" is sung in the perspective of a man, who is in love with a disgusting girl.
  • "Geschwisterliebe" is about incest between siblings.
  • "Helmut K." is depicting Helmut Kohl as a wife-beater, stating, that he's just a man like every other.
  • "Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund" is about zoophilia, between a woman and a dog.
  • "Claudia II" is the sequel to "Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund"; now Claudia has a horse. There's also a third song, found on "Live - Nach uns die Sintflut" and "Das Beste von kurz nach früher bis jetze", where Claudia tries with a man, but fails, ending up with a humpback whale.
  • "Sweet sweet Gwendoline" is about bondage; the title is from the Sweet Gwendoline comic series; Gwendoline is also Die Ärzte's mascot; the song features lines in the beginning and in the end, which were not on the "Die Ärzte"-version.
  • "Schlaflied" is about a monster coming and eating you after you fall asleep.
