What would you do if money were no object? In “Was Kostet Die Welt,” Norwegian artist Christian day-dreams out loud about snapping up the whole planet on an installment plan, sipping the high life, and swimming in cash like Scrooge McDuck. The verses race through lottery fantasies, credit-card realities, and tongue-in-cheek boasts, all wrapped in an upbeat hook that admits the obvious: it’s not only about money, yet life feels a lot “geiler” when you’re rolling in it.
Beneath the playful swagger, the song pokes fun at society’s love-hate relationship with wealth. Christian highlights how friends vanish when you’re broke, how “saving won’t make you rich,” and how charm is his true capital. By exaggerating the chase for riches, he invites listeners to laugh at material obsessions while still tapping their feet to a feel-good chorus. It’s a catchy reminder that money can’t buy happiness—but it sure buys plenty of cool stuff on the way!
