The meaning of:The Question What Is The Question (Explained)

Finaly we know where the title comes from:

Henri Poincaré - "The question is not, 'What is the answer?' The question is, 'What is the question?'"

The folowing song could also explain the title of the Scooter track:

THERE CAME A QUESTION
(by Jackson Browne)

From crooked walls and painted windows
Within a forest of disguise
From under crumbling inventions
There came a question from your eyes

And in this dream there was no touching
Although we reached for stolen skin
As into darkness we went fading
There came a question from within

I've been looking for you
The question is "What is the question?"
I've been looking for you
The answer is "There is no answer."
There is no answer

Between the words there was a moment
Among the shadows and the holes
With tired eyes and frozen faces
There came a question from our souls

I've been looking for you
The question is "What is the question?"
I've been looking for you
The answer is "There is no answer."
There is no answer

It could be, or then not. I mean, asking something like "what is the question?" is not that uncommon or impossible, and then saying "the question is, what is the question?" and you're all set. But of course it could be from this, cool. :D
:rolleyes: This is a signature.

Well, nice, but I think it's not really the origin.

When H.P. was in Prague for a senseless promotion of nothing, there was a dstupid TV show with him and he was asked to tell the TV viewers the question. As he didn't know which one, he said "The question is...what is the question?

I guess there's also o video on YouTube (I've seen it once) where he explains...

As I told here long before...

Anyway, the video demontrates the quality of Czech music shows. Beside, there's another video with an interview about TQIWITQ where H.P. explains...
