Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt

"Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt" is a song written by German rapper Danger Dan, who is also part of the band Antilopen Gang.

The first person narrator states that the song's aim is to "test the limits of what is permitted and what is forbidden" (original: "die Grenzen auszuloten, was erlaubt und was verboten ist").

[1] It was published on 26 March 2021 as the first single of an album, also called Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt, by the label of his band Antilopen Gang.

[3] On 9 April 2021, the song was performed by artist Danger Dan, accompanied by pianist Igor Levit, on the German TV show ZDF Magazin Royale.

In the chorus, the legitimacy of these criticisms is satirically underlined: "Juristisch wär' die Grauzone erreicht / Doch vor Gericht machte ich es mir wieder leicht / Zeig mich an und ich öffne einen Sekt / Das ist alles von der Kunstfreiheit gedeckt"[1] (English: "Legally, this would be in the grey area / but in court, I'd choose an easy way out / report me to the police and I'll open a bottle of prosecco / this is within the realms of artistic freedom").
