@ Kim Metzger: I know what a context is but cannot provide one if I'm not online at the time of its request. ;)

@ Nicole Backhaus: Unfortunately I don't have one. As written by Rolf Kern I found some references to lyrics when searching for these terms which again I found when looking for 'Playing the world's saddest song on the world's smallest violin' as mentionned by Uta Kappler which is from a movie from Q. Tarantino (some might only know it from Spongebob Squarepants).

But I then thought there must be some more meaning to it than only within lyrics. That's how the question came up especially as it sounds to me like some idiom or saying like there are some in German (e.g. ...mit Pauken und Trompeten)

Context: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning.

Um was handelt es sich? Laut Google ist es der Titel eines Songs von irgendeiner Gruppe und kein Sprichwort. Warum soll er übersetzt werden, denn er ist nicht übersetzbar?
