Rammstein fans?
Two nights ago I heard the most amazing Rammstein song on Q101 in Chicago. I did a google search on the chorus line and i found the song's title is "Amerika":

Chorus:
We're all living in America,
America ist wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

Wenn getanzt wird, will ich führen,
auch wenn ihr euch alleine dreht,
lasst euch ein wenig kontrollieren,
Ich zeige euch wie´s richtig geht.
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
die Freiheit spielt auf allen Geigen,
Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus,
Und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.

Chorus:
We're all living in America,
America ist wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

Ich kenne Schritte, die sehr nützen,
und werde euch vor Fehltritt schützen,
und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss,
weiß noch nicht das er Tanzen muss!
Wir bilden einen lieben Reigen,
ich werde Euch die Richtung zeigen,
nach Afrika kommt Santa Claus,
und vor Paris steht Mickey Maus.

Chorus:
We're all living in America,
America ist wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, Wonderbra,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

This is not a love song,
this is not a love song.
I don´t sing my mother tongue,
No, this is not a love song.

Chorus:
We're all living in America,
Amerika ist wunderbar.
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.
We're all living in America,
Coca-Cola, sometimes WAR,
We're all living in America,
Amerika, Amerika.

To summarize (in English, I promise ;) - my 3 years of German was put to good use for the first time outside of Europe), America is singing the song of liberty while brutally occupying and homogenizing the entire world into one culture.

I'm normally not a big fan of Rammstein's style of music, but I've known their politics (their name is a political statement in and of itself) for a while now and Rammstein:

:yourock:
