Content of the music video

The video starts with a shipment demand on the fictional television channel DDR (German broadcasting), which is already known from other videos of Y-Titty. On the show you can see Hans Hetzer, played by Phil, who reads the news and announces that this is the last day before the end of the world when a meteor hits. The camera zooms back and shows the three on their sofa. They think about what to do before the end of the world. TC suggests that they go to their families, but then Phil has the right idea: "Celebrate". Everyone jump up. Phil hands out a beer, OG stands naked on a bridge and a policeman (played by Christoph Krachten) pursues him because it is tasteless and TC turns on his love Julia . In the chorus are all on the rotating square stand time together with the drummer of an accordion playing, and singing the chorus. In a bar everyone is sitting on the chairs and watching the countdown on a television, but suddenly the image changes and you can see the drummer. Everyone looks at him puzzled, realizes that there is a party going on and runs over there to celebrate. Even Jesus and the Mayans are. At another location, Death is shown rapping a rap passage to match a dubstep part . Then there is a change of scene and he can be seen at Phil, TC and OG's party. Suddenly TC stands behind him and smashes a bottle on his head. Death falls to the ground and the music is off. Phil comes to him to reproach: Dude, you killed death! accept. TC asks: Yes, and what do we do now? Keep celebrating! answers Phil again. The music starts and everyone starts dancing again. Then the meteor comes and everyone takes a step backwards. Phil notices: It's kind of ... small. The little stone falls on the ground and everyone looks at the three Mayas. They look desperate and say: Sorry ... we have somehow ... miscalculated by a year. Everyone leaves the place and goes home disappointed. Only Jesus steps into the picture again and fetches a beer bottle.
