Approaches:
Younger classes could simply use numbers to give points
Older classes would use the language of opinions and/or justifications and / or classifications.
It is probably not necessary (but could be interesting with certain learners) to explore the meaning of the lyrics.
For extension or homework learners research other German songs and present their choice with opinions in a subsequent lesson

Age-appropriate texts may well include contemporary music, e.g. from YouTube or other sources. A ‘Best of ..’ collection such as this German one
