Tierhaarallergie literally translates to "animal hair allergy". It's a specific and somewhat unusual word to find in a song, making it memorable and unique.
In the context of this satirical song, the artists use this seemingly innocent medical condition as a humorous and absurd justification for their exaggerated dislike of various animals, including "Bullen" (which can mean both 'bulls' and 'cops') and "Schweine" (which can mean both 'pigs' and 'swine' or 'pigs' as in 'cops'). This unexpected twist adds to the song's comedic and provocative nature.
Get ready for a wild ride with SDP and Sido's "Bullen, Schweine"! This song is a hilarious and over-the-top take on allergies, using a clever play on words that will definitely make you chuckle. The lyrics start by listing all sorts of animals: "Ich hasse alle Bullen, Schweine, Bullen, Schweine, Katzen, Hunde und Pferde" [I hate all bulls, pigs, bulls, pigs, cats, dogs, and horses]. But it's not because of any real animosity towards animals; it's all due to a severe "Tierhaarallergie" [animal hair allergy]!
The humor comes from the German word "Bullen," which can mean both "bulls" and a slang term for police officers. Similarly, "Schweine" means "pigs" but can also be used as an insult. The song leans into this double meaning, making it sound like the singer is complaining about police when he's actually talking about his allergies. He even jokes about having Tourette's syndrome because he can't help but shout, "Jeder Bulle ist ein Drecksschwein!" [Every bull/cop is a dirty pig!]. It's a really funny way to talk about something as common as allergies, turning it into a rebellious anthem against... well, animals, mostly! And don't miss the line, "Ich find' Schweine gut als Schnitzel!" [I think pigs are good as schnitzel!] for another laugh.
