[1] In the lyrics, Holofernes tells a story in which she was blinded by the glittering world of consumption making her want everything she sees and changing her life for them (“Meine Stimme gegen ein Mobiltelefon, meine Fäuste gegen eure Nagelpflegelotion.../My voice for a mobile phone, my fists for your manicure lotion...”).

The music video does not directly reflect the content of the song but shows the band's way to the first album in an ironic way.

The whole clip is shown as a comic strip and at the beginning it presents Wir sind Helden as a teen band (their ages are indicated as 16, 18, 14) during their rehearsals.

While the band plays the music, a stereotyped record producer enters the room saying “That is fresh!” while he thinks “Criticism of consumption + sex = €”.

[3] However, based on the high album sales, “Guten Tag” received heavy airplay in Germany.

A French version, named "Guten Tag (La Réclamation)" was recorded for the compilation album Wir sind Helden released in France in 2006.

Most of them compared the song to German music of the 1980s (“Neue Deutsche Welle” and praised the clever and original lyrics.
