I'm not going to lie, I really only know one of their songs ('Endlich ein Grund zur Panik') because of a damn catchy beat and a fun, Beastie Boys-esque video (see 'Intergalactic'). The music is light and fun, with a danceable background. It's definitely spent some time in the studio, but the combination of driving guitar and bouncing keyboard along with a really fun female German vocals makes for a song that I can't help laugh at. I have no idea what the lyrics mean, but maybe I'll get my German-speaking girlfriend to translate next time she owes me a favor. Enjoy!

My friend Lars (who is, indeed, German) introduced me to Wir Sind Helden last year. Very catchy punk/pop/electronica music with fun vocals (even if I don't understand a word). The song in that video is also featured in EA Sports' FIFA 2008. Also, they did a cover of +44's "When Your Heart Stops Beating," which translates to "Wenn dein Herz zu schlagen aufhört," I believe. You can find it on iTunes.
