The song is mostly in English but also contains German lyrics, notably a rap by Trooper Da Don and Kim's recurring "Gib's mir richtig, ganz egal wo" (Give it to me right, no matter where). The song samples its instrumental beat from Mtume's "Juicy Fruit" and its chorus is a re-interpretation of the hit song Hypnotize by Notorious BIG. The song also features the title melody of the German version of Sesame Street.

gollark: Photonic ML hardware is apparently beginning to exist and is very efficient, so that could help in a few years.
gollark: There is apparently work on accursed optics things for the displays, and batteries... are harder, but maybe minimising power use with more efficient hardware can be done.
gollark: Enough minor conveniences stacked together gives a useful product. And you can fit smartphone SoCs into slightly bulky glasses - there are already AR devkits doing this. The main limitation is that the displays aren't very good and it is hard to fit sufficient batteries.
