As reported by t-online, the native of Stuttgart sings along with the 90s hit "Udri Mujo" - in German "Hit it, Mujo".
The song continues: "Not even a kiss is like it used to be - in vain.
(...) Life is no longer what it used to be.” What the brazen thief wants to allude to with these words is unclear, as is why her companion put the video online in the first place.
