@poppycock32 It's a common misconception among English speakers that "ich" should be pronounced "ick" or else with a really strong throaty "ch" sound like in "loch" – this is wrong! It's actually pronounced like a cross between "eesh" and "ihhh," if you can imagine that. Saying "ish" is probably the easiest for an English speaker.
@poppycock32 You're welcome. :) Yup, it applies to every word! All syllables ending in "-ich," "-ech," "-äch," "-üch," and "-öch" have this soft "sh"-like sound to them. That sound is called the "ich-laut." (The ich-laut also comes after other consonants, like in the word "Mädchen.")
Other syllables (ending in "-ach," "-uch," and "-och") have a slightly different "ch" sound which is closer to the "ch" in "loch," but not as strong and throaty. This sound is called the "ach-laut."
and other than the chorus, i have no idea what he's saying in that one 3rd verse lol. something about doing something too many times, or something about a table on a train (i dunno, i heard U-bahn Tisch), and getting dangerous? (kriegeln sein) i think kriegeln means dangerous... a kriegsfilm is an action movie so... i dunno? i like translating foreign songs :)
when the daily show begins... how much 5 x 7 is... it is always (something? dunno that one)... Carl Marx was a communist... who the president is?... what orders he gave everytime... he gets sick when he eats bananas... his grandma is always right.... when the sun goes down/under... what always happens next... in winter, it is cold (really now?)... how many years old he is.
dude i think this is my favorite song by them... maybe cuz i understand what he says the most out of any other song they have... correct me if i'm wrong, but this is what i think all that he's saying...
when you say the word ich, mich, sich and so on.. do you say it like; isch, misch ? because when he sings ich or mich, it sounds like he says misch and isch xDD
i understand most of what he's saying.... but i don't get the chorus... what doesn't he know? he doesn't know who the typ is... but what's a typ? who is the typ? what is the typ?
LOL "ich wiess... im winter, es it kalt!" NO i thought it was nice and toasty in winter LOL. but seriously, this is a neat band. they're songs are really catchy and fun to listen to, but the videos, there are a couple things (depending on the song) they're really really funny, and/or really really wierd

Ich habe mir meinen Nick bestimmt nicht aus Langewile ausgesucht. Wenn du mein Profil richtig lesen würdest dann wäre dir bestimmt aufgefallen das ich aus Leipzig bin. Die Prinzen sind trotzdem Schrott und gefallen mir nicht^^
yup and it continues "...next to you?" its about a guy finding his girlfriend with another guy around her or maybe in their home or somthing like that ^^ it not explicitly made clear but you get the point
Ich find Tobias immernoch geil!

@MrBman7272
doing somethin too many times (infact: you were once so choosy/picky)
table ( and now he`s stripping you over the tabel = now he pulls you over the barrel)
then:
you fall for his patters (patterns??)
it must be possible to find out (who`s that guy next to you.....)
But still... youre quite good for an englishman or American
