Du hast mich

Du hast mich

Du hast mich mit einem industriell angelegten Casting system in die Row Zero bugsiert, um dann in der Pause unter der Bühne mehr oder minder zwangfrei Sex zu haben

Echt krass wie wenig Leute international darüber Bescheid wissen in Anbetracht ihrer weltweiten Popularität

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[-] angrymouse@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

I'm Brazilian and would die there. But I can only go until Du hast mich, the the rest is mumble jumble

[-] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago

Pretty much everyone would say "du hast", it's so iconic. I think that's the joke? If not, this comic really doesn't stand up to scrutiny.

[-] menemen@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Most Germans probably wouldn't though.

[-] Hyggyldy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I can make out gefracht (probably not how it's spelled but that's how it sounds) but nothing past that.

[-] Custoslibera@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago

Could someone please explain the joke?

I don’t know the reference or German.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 80 points 1 year ago

German band Rammstein has a famous song named "Du Hast" which starts off the chorus with "du ... du hast ... du hast mich etc. etc.". Du hast is German for "you have".

[-] ccdfa@lemm.ee 54 points 1 year ago

And if you're just listening to the song, the lyrics sound like "you... you hate... you hate me... you asked me...", etc. It's a play on words and you're not really supposed to understand if it's hast (have, part of a past tense phrase) or hasst (hate) until the whole sentence is out

[-] lvxferre@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

Rammstein is fan of this sort of "new verse = old verse + something that contradicts the meaning of the old verse" wordplay. It does the same in "Wo bist du", like:

  • "Ich liebe dich" - I love you
  • "Ich liebe dich nicht" - I don't love you
  • "Ich liebe dich nicht mehr" - I don't love you any more
  • "Ich liebe dich nicht mehr oder weniger als du" - I don't love you more or less than you
  • "Als du mich geliebt hast" - than you loved me [...]

with every verse forging a meaning that is destroyed in the next by the addition of (a) new word(s).

Thank you, I don’t listen to industrial metal so I was never going to get this one.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 33 points 1 year ago

I'm not really into industrial metal either, but Rammstein is on a plane all by themselves in terms of overall entertainment value.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 1 year ago

They are the European Metallica, and that rocks.

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

That plane never landed near me, I've never heard of the song or them till reading these comments in this post lol

Congrats on being one of today's lucky 10K

[-] Spliffman1@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

I'd never seen that either 😊

[-] Kecessa@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Well they certainly had to cancel some planes this year anyway!

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

And is a homonym of "du haßt" creating the German double entendre of "you have me/you hate me"

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago
[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 8 points 1 year ago

You have asked me and I've said nothing

[-] troutsushi@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago
[-] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

"... and I said nothing"

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de -3 points 1 year ago

Almost. "Du" does mean "you" but "hasst" means "hate". Not "have".

So basically the guy shouted "you" and the Germans shouted back "you hate".

[-] GargleBlaster@lemmy.world 37 points 1 year ago

Almost. The song is called "Du hast" not "Du hasst". The double meaning of hast (have) and hasst (hate) is still the main wordplay in the song though

[-] PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 18 points 1 year ago

Du hast recht.

[-] JohnObvious@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure it's referencing the song Du Hast by Rammstein https://youtu.be/W3q8Od5qJio?si=KN3Cayzv1uKoXa2w

10/10. Would buy your parody album.

[-] StarServal@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

It absolutely needs accordion.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 27 points 1 year ago

As teens, me and my friends initially misheard this as:

Who

Who has

Who has fish?

And later in the song as:

Who has fish from France?

[-] zerofk@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Germans do love French fish.

My Grandfather never thought he could shoot a German.. then last year he proved everyone wrong.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

A stammering German might inadvertently vibe up with this song: https://piped.video/watch?v=y6120QOlsfU

[-] humanplayer2@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

What's up with shooting Germans in 1997 or later?
