Ramstein - Amerika?

[redrumloa]

Ok, what's the story here? I've seen the video a couple times. Seems to be a light hearted dig at the US, no problem right? Well not knowing german I do a websearch looking for english lyrics. A quick search doesn't provide it, but does give back tons of forum posts. Looking through the forum posts reveals lost of "yeah stick it to thse stupid americans, they are so gullible". Huh? People can't possibly be so brainwashed to think the moonwalk was fake? Or could they?

So anyhow, catchy tune & I really don't care much if they are making a dig at the US. I'm just curious of how it translates in German. Meanspirited or lighthearted?

Cool, pretty much what I originally expected. The only reason i even asked was some stupid forum comments I read.

Even taking the lyrics at face value as a swipe at US culture, no problem. There's a time and a place for everything. Besides, if I hear one more time about American Idol, I'll rip my eyes out with a spork! :lol:

AAARGH!  Make the pain stop! :-x

You never heard of a spork?? A SPORK is a combination spoon & fork with a rich and colorful history. It's quite commonly used nowadays by even fast food resturants. I remember in the 70's/80's growing up it was pretty unknown, only public school kitchens had them :lol:
