1. A music genre, Schlager is known throughout German to have the kitschiest songtexts; it is played at festivals where there is a beer tent, most popularly at the Oktoberfest (Wies’n) of Southern Germany in Munich, Stuttgart, and the like. It should be noted that Schlager is by no means well-liked by all Germans; it is a hotly-debated genre. One either hates it, or one loves it. Currently, the most iconic and modern Schlager artist is arguably Helene Fischer.2. This line directly alludes to a Schlager song of the 1960s by the iconic Trude Herr, which is called „Ich will keine Schokolade“, translated as: I do not want any chocolate
