Probier's mal mit 'nem Baß

The song "Probier's mal mit 'nem Baß" by the Wise Guys is a humorous and light-hearted ode to the bass voice in vocal music. The lyrics playfully critique the higher-pitched tenors and baritones, suggesting that they lack the depth and charm that a bass voice brings. The song opens with a series of rhetorical questions that highlight the perceived shortcomings of tenors and baritones, setting the stage for the bass voice to shine as the true 'pearl' among male vocal ranges.

The chorus, with its catchy and repetitive lines, emphasizes the idea that a bass voice offers more fun and coziness. The bass is portrayed as the crown jewel of all singers, capable of reaching deeper notes and providing a more enduring presence. This is humorously contrasted with the higher-pitched voices, which are described as less satisfying. The song's playful tone is further enhanced by the self-assured declaration of the bass singer, who refers to himself as "Tiefes D, den Häuptling der Apachen" (Deep D, the Chief of the Apaches), adding a touch of whimsy and confidence.

The lyrics also highlight the bass singer's pride in his role, claiming that he has the best lyrics and that every listener recognizes him as the foundation of the music. This self-assuredness is a recurring theme, as the bass singer asserts his superiority and unique appeal. The song cleverly uses humor and exaggeration to celebrate the often-overlooked bass voice, making it a fun and engaging listen for anyone who appreciates vocal music.
