SONG MEANING

How many ‘friends’ are enough? In this cheeky a-cappella tune, the Wise Guys scroll us through a day in the life of a Facebook addict. The narrator proudly counts 44 Freunde, celebrates every new request, and revels in trivia like when Tom feeds his guinea pigs or which movie scene makes Liese cry. Packed with witty snapshots—Melina’s boredom alert, Olli’s missing nail file, a sun-burnt insurance agent partying in Mallorca—the lyrics exaggerate the flood of posts that keep popping up on our screens.

Beneath the humor lies a gentle warning. The singer admits he has no idea how he feels until he checks Facebook, and he gets along with people better now that he never meets them face to face. By turning arm-chair activism and sofa-surfing friendships into punchlines, the Wise Guys question whether social media connects us or simply distracts us. The result is a fun yet thought-provoking commentary on how our timelines can start to define our reality.
