Pappa Driter Penger

Postgirobygget's song 'Pappa Driter Penger' offers a satirical and critical look at the lives of the ultra-wealthy. The title itself, which translates to 'Dad Shits Money,' sets the tone for the song's irreverent and mocking perspective. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a family drowning in opulence, with the father effortlessly spending money, the mother flaunting her mink coat and BMW, and the narrator enjoying a life of luxury without any apparent effort or merit. This portrayal is not just about wealth but also about the superficiality and emptiness that often accompany it.

The song delves into the various ways the family indulges in their wealth. The narrator boasts about having pockets full of thousand-kroner bills and a lifestyle that includes a jet-set life, a massive cabin by the water, and a flashy car. The repeated phrase 'digger digger digger' (meaning 'dig' or 'like') emphasizes how society idolizes and envies this lifestyle, despite its shallow nature. The lyrics also touch on the darker side of this wealth, with mentions of the mother's cocaine use and the narrator's headaches from excessive gin consumption, hinting at the underlying unhappiness and dysfunction.

Postgirobygget uses humor and exaggeration to critique the obsession with material wealth and social status. The song highlights the absurdity of valuing people based on their financial status and the possessions they own. It also points out the moral and ethical decay that can come with such a lifestyle, as seen in the mother's affair and the family's general lack of genuine happiness. Through its catchy tune and biting lyrics, 'Pappa Driter Penger' serves as a reminder that true fulfillment cannot be bought, no matter how much money one has.
