"Du Hast" sung at karaoke by Pierre

Pierre goes Teutonic on your butts! There was karaoke on the same night as "Nuit Blanche", a city-wide art event in Toronto on Oct. 1, 2011. So I wanted to make sure, for those showing up here, that this was a performance art to rival other performance art...with sub-titles in old-style German Fraktur type.

The karaoke host is Pete Rockwell, a kind of Howard Stern of karaoke.

50 years ago I was born, and my dad shortly was posted to the Canadian Armed Forces base in Metz, France. He went over the border and bought stereo equipment from the foremost audio-equipment country in the world -- at that time, West Germany. And he also bought German records, which in our French-speaking home sounded to me like the most awful cacophony, I was told I actually put my hands to my ears going, "Non, non, non, non, non!" But I remembered the sounds, and now I'm giving it back.

Rammstein's "Du Hast" is a pun. You can say "Du hast mich." (You have me.) or "Du hasst mich." (You hate me, more correctly shown as Du haßt mich.)
Then it says "Du hast mich gefragt," (You have asked me,) and "Und ich habt nichts gesagt." (And I have nothing to say.)
Then it goes into the German wedding-vows but playfully changes "Will you, until death do you part...?" to "Will you, until the death OF the "part" [slang for vagina]...?" Society expects him to say Ja, but he says NEIN!
