"Wie es geht" ("How to do it", lit. "How it goes") is a punk song by Die Ärzte. 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.
[edit] 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.

[edit] B-sides
"Poser, du bist ein..." ("Poser, you are a...") criticises people who want all the attention. "Die Instrumente des Orchesters" ("The instruments of the orchestra") is a short song about musical instruments which is not included on the vinyl single. "Kpt. Blaubär" ("Cpt. Bluebear") is about a seaman who tells made-up and exaggerated stories (Käpt'n. Blaubär is a popular German cartoon character; the song is a longer version of the one on the soundtrack of "Käpt'n Blaubär"). "Halsabschneider" ("Neckchopper") is a song against Jörg Haider.
