***THIS VIDEO IS _NOT_ MADE TO BE OFFENSIVE TOWARDS RAMMSTEIN, GERMANY, OR THE FANS - I ALSO KNOW THAT THESE LYRICS ARE *NOT* WHAT THE SONG REALLY SAYS - I AM NOT TRYING TO CONVINCE ANYONE THAT THE LYRICS I PUT ARE REAL. Remember that before watching. I also know that a good portion of the lyrics I put don't really sound like the real ones, but I wasn't focusing on that too much.***

After the Mein Teil vid, it was requested that I do another video. This is intended to make almost no sense at all. It's just a possible interpretation of what the words COULD sound like to English speakers, although some German words are NOT easy to match perfectly with English words of similar sound.

The song 'Du Hast' is about wedding vows, hence the fact that the song title/subject is supposed to mean 'You Have', although some say it's 'You Hate'... supposedly, 'hast' with one s means 'have', while 'hasst' with two means 'hate'. It could be a play on words, and sometimes only Rammstein knows what's REALLY going on in their songs/ videos.

For an analysis of the song, go to this site: http://www.almostrammstein.com/nf/du_hast.html

Du Hast is somewhat repetitive, but that gave me many interpretation possibilities. Also, the dance beats, choir-sounding 'ja's (German for 'yes') that come before shouts of "NEIN!" (which aren't interpreted as lyrics but are treated choir sounds), and the heavy guitar riffs are used with unusual, nonsensical visuals. You'll also see action in the clips that make this look like it were an actual serious music video about something, right before growing even more ludicrous.

I also find the song pretty cool. It also has a bit of an evil, ominous air to it, which is fun. Also note, again, that nothing in this video was made to offend anyone.

Footage and pictures are from all over the web. Credits to all sources, once again, although I did doctor a few images with MS Paint.

That being said, enjoy, and be sure to watch it to the end!

  • The guy in the yellow shirt kicking the table, right? That's Steve-O alright, drunk on the Adam Corolla show, which is hilarious if you haven't seen it yet.

  • What's with the Super Mario Sunshine footage?!... :D

  • It's just meant to be random...plus I thought it looked like Petey Piranha was 'dancing' to the music. :D

  • you've made a mockery of rammstein...

    but it was funny.

  • Thanks but just know that any tru "making a mockery of Rammstein" here wasn't intended. I could go on about how I could have made it offensive on purpose but didn't, but I rest my case.
