Laura Müller’s song “Superstar” is being panned as far as the eye can see. There is a virtuoso at the pen behind it: Michael Wendler. An analysis (or gloss).
“I didn’t expect anything and was still disappointed”, “A beautiful day for having no ears”, “I don’t think I have enough beer at home to forget this masterpiece”: these are just a few of many praises on “Superstar”, the new song by Laura Müller.
Time to get closer to this “masterpiece”. Because the genius of the songwriter M. Wendler may not be apparent at the first glance – and perhaps not at the second or third time either. That’s exactly why the text should be examined carefully: Is the devil in the details?
Look at my body, do you think I’m hot? (Hot)
Your eyes are undressing me, Martini is on ice (ice)
Clever! Mr. Wendler remembered his elementary school days. Back then, his classmates, sweaty from playing catch, were still laughing when little Micha rhymed: “Wow, it’s hot today, I think I need some ice cream.” Hihi, it also works with a bodysuit and a martini – and with an erotic repetition. Classics don’t age.
The real genius, however, lies in the allusion to Germany’s biggest pop star and her box office hit “Atemlos durch die Nacht”: Helene Fischer already sang the line “Your eyes are pulling me out” in her song. Until now, the world thought that the songwriter Kristina Bach had written the lyrics for Helene Fischer, but now doubts arise: Is Wendler’s brilliant pen behind it?
My red sole caresses your face
In my mind I’m shopping, I’m just not telling you that
Now things are getting “subtle,” as Dieter Dehm would say. Red sole, you think of a nickname for the former left-wing politician. Wendler and Dehm in one song? You can’t get any more conspiracy madness.
Back to art: Laura Müller hides shopping fantasies from her anonymous admirer. This is emancipated and wicked at the same time in the sense of the feminine formula “the woman is herself” and the idea of how she caresses her soles and thinks of the cheapest patent and leather goods – or of the red high-heel soles of the French-Egyptian luxury designer Christian Louboutin.
Call me luxury lady, I don’t care
Dior in a hundred colors decorate my shelf
The song is slowly gaining momentum like a Ferrari, which unfortunately has a leading role in the video. According to unconfirmed information, the earth shook in Modena on April 18, 2024, shortly after 6 p.m. It is said that Enzo Ferrari was turning in his grave.
Nevertheless: the Italian sleigh and the luxury lady provide an artistic contrast. There the traditional brand full of style and elegance and in her light brown leather seats the 23-year-old wife of the “Egal” singer from Tangermünde, Saxony-Anhalt. This Laura Müller is about as elegant as a pregnant woman who promotes pictures of herself and her belly with posts like “Write me ‘horny and pregnant’ for the incredible hot pics.”
There is little to be seen of “a hundred colors”, let alone Dior, at Laura Müller. Her preferred colors: black and red – and that on paint. But that’s the beauty of art: it is much larger than reality – and free from any constraints of fact.
I like to do it in the car, with the stick in my hand
But only in a Ferrari, because I know that one
What does the lyrical I mean by the verb in the first sentence? Drive a car? Shopping? Sorting Dior colors? Stroking other faces with soles? The vague “mach” construction invites you to fantasize; the club, symbolic of something hard and threatening, is placed as a counterpart. The poetry is in top form. Michael Wendler, the man from Dinslaken, a modern verse virtuoso from the land of poets and thinkers.
