The chorus, with its repetition of 'Mief!' (German for 'stink'), serves to drive home the point that one's natural bodily odors are nothing to be ashamed of and shouldn't prevent someone from finding love and connection. The person in the lyrics is rejecting societal pressure to conform to certain beauty standards and instead is seeking acceptance for who they are, smells and all. The song, while humorous and exaggerated, also touches on themes of acceptance and societal norms around hygiene and cleanliness. Despite this, the person is pleading for someone to accept them romantically, even if they 'stink like an eel.' They emphasize that bodily smells and hygiene do not necessarily reflect one's character or worth as a partner, and that 'occasional gases' are just a natural part of being in love.
The lyrics of 'Mief!' by Die Doofen describe a person who is unabashedly unhygienic, listing off various bodily odors and substances such as ear wax, body sweat, and bad breath.
