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

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 2 points 2 years ago

Most Germans probably wouldn't though.

[–] Hyggyldy 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Custoslibera 35 points 2 years ago (3 children)

Could someone please explain the joke?

I don’t know the reference or German.

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".

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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 33 points 2 years ago (3 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

They are the European Metallica, and that rocks.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

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

[–] dangblingus 8 points 2 years ago

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

You have asked me and I've said nothing

"... and I said nothing"

Found the real German!

[–] JohnObvious 11 points 2 years 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It absolutely needs accordion.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Germans do love French fish.

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