RAMMSTEIN: Du hast

“Feuer Frei!” is a well-known song from the German band Rammstein. The title is from the command to start shooting in German military language. It is also often mistaken with Fuer Frei, a German Website. Feuer frei! is one of the band’s better known songs thanks to the band’s appearance in the 2002 movie xXx. It literally means “fire free” (or “fire freely”), but the closest equivalents in English would be “fire at will” or “open fire.”

The UK Feuer Frei! single was released in three parts (2xCD, 1xDVD), in three different colours (Yellow-Green-Orange), each with different tracklistings.

The video for this song was released in America on MTV, to promote the movie xXx. The music video consisted of the band playing on a fiery stage, with several clips from the movie xXx.

“Feuer Frei!” debuted live in a concert exclusively for members of the fan area in April 2000, when it was called “Punk”. Its next performance wasn’t until May 2001 (this version being the album one) and since then, it has been played in almost every Rammstein concert. During live performances of this song, Richard, Paul and Till wear flamethrower-masks; Lycopodium masks, which shoot flames several feet into the air.

RAMMSTEIN: Stripped

“Du hast” (German, “you have”) is a song by the Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein from the 1997 album Sehnsucht. The song is one of the band’s best known worldwide, owing to its inclusion on the soundtrack of The Matrix and heavy airplay on MTV. It has also been featured in other films, such as CKY2K and 2001’s How High, as well as TV’s Gilmore Girls in the episode “Presenting Lorelai Gilmore”. The song is played when Honduran football games have commercial cuts.

The video for the song was influenced by Reservoir Dogs.

Two versions can be found, one with the chorus and first three verses in English, and another completely in German. The lyrics to the English version are not a translation of the lyrics in German.

The song hit #20 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in the United States. It is the highest charting German language song in the history of that chart.

The whole song is a play on German wedding vows.

The refrain (“Willst du, bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein für alle Tage?”) translates to “Do you want, until Death separates you all, to be faithful to her forever?” Instead of answering with “ja” (“yes”), the singer says “nein” (“no”), finally breaking his silence earlier in the song: “Du hast mich gefragt, und ich hab nichts gesagt”, which translates to “You asked me, and I said nothing.”

In other refrain says in a words game (“Willst du bis zum Tod der Scheide…?”) translated to “Will you, until the vagina’s death?”.

As stated earlier, the English version of Du Hast is not translated, but changed altogether (“Du hasst” (du haßt) means “you hate”. The extra “s” differentiates it from the conjugated verb form of haben (to have).

• Du: You
• Du has(s)t: You have
• Du has(s)t mich: You have me
• Du hast mich gefragt: You have asked me
• Du hast mich gefragt und ich habe nichts gesagt: You have asked me, and I have said nothing.

The first known performance of the song dates from April 9th, 1997 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands . Over the years, several stunts have been used during the live performances of Du hast, ranging from the dildo used in Bück dich, to the bow used in Du riechst so gut. In their Reise, Reise tour, flames shoot several feet into the air and Till Lindemann shot with a different bow into the air, “starting” a chain reaction that fired rockets over the audience. Being a fan favorite, it has been played in almost every concert to date since its initial performance.
