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

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

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 pts · 2y

Most Germans probably wouldn't though.

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

Could someone please explain the joke?

I don’t know the reference or German.

ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world · 80 pts · 2y (18 replies)

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 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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 pts · 2y

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 pts · 2y (5 replies)

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 pts · 2y

They are the European Metallica, and that rocks.

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

Hate.

ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de · -3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

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 pts · 2y (1 reply)

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

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?
