      This is actually one song I think the music video is better than the live performance.
      The music video doesn't leave out lyrics and gives more context to what the song is about.
      For example some of the missing lyrics are about how bands are expected to sing in English if they want a bigger audience. Something they no doubt have been pressured on and mostly resisted.

      @@MrZnarffy Some of their songs have deep meanings. Many of them are actually pretty messed up to. Not a bad thing at all but think they enjoy those because they know they have a large fan base that doesn't speak German so it's a bit of fun getting those fans to sing along with lyrics that are disturbing when many don't know it is.
      They have a great sense of humor about a lot of stuff and that comes out in not only the more obvious humor but in stuff like what I pointed out about some of their songs being about taboo topics.

      Du Hast is a great example they released a English version which they intentionally translated wrong and many people still think it is a proper translation. It isn't and that was intentional on their part. Du Hast actual mean You Have but in there prank translation it is You Hate. So now many people think the song is about something very different than it is because they missed the joke.

    I'll show you how to do it right
    We form a dear circle(Reigen is a very outdated german word for like a circle dance)
    Freedom plays on all violins
    Theres music coming from the white house
    And in front of Paris stands Mickey Mouse
    2. Verse :
    I know steps that are of good use
    And I will protect you from missteps
    And who does not want to dance in the end
    Doesn't know yet that he has to (dance)
    We form a dear circle

      I just wanted to add the meaning of the music from the white house line. Theres a german saying ‘hier spielt die musik’, engl. ‘this is where the music plays’ which basically means ‘this is the most important right now, pay attention’.
      When he says the music plays from the white house he is saying that the white house dictates whats important to the whole world.
      And the whole dance lines probably come from ‚nach ______ Pfeife tanzen‘ engl. ‚to dance to someones whistle‘. In german that means doing everything they say.
      Plus the violine might come from satans fiddle. But the last ones not for sure.

    I am a 59 year old mum from Australia who absolutely LOVES Rammstein and have for years. My birthday present from my son, who got into them at high school, was their latest album with Deutschland which I have pumping in the car so loud that the windows vibrate. From what I could gather, the song is about the commercial crap that has emanated from the US and affected the rest of the world. The missing line "This is not a love song" is telling at this concert, it's not a love song about the U.S.

      Deutschland (Germany) from Rammstein is about our 2000 year old past. All the bad things happened from Roman empire, Church, burning of "witches", 3 big wars, the misery and guilt, Holocaust, terrorism in the 60s/70s. And the way many Germans feel about their own country. Not many patriots here. It is a love - hate relation with the motherland. The music video is pretty graphic but a masterpiece of history.

    Don't misundertand me, I have friends online from the USA. awesome people, I'm latin but speak American English... but politically USA is like the Roman Empire, looking the rest of the world over the shoulder. Even having contributed to general science knowledge, Amerika behaves like the big bully in every sense possible. Trump is the tumor, the expression of all that buried things coming up the surface. Rammstein did this song aftyer Till and Flake got arrested for a performance in a city I don't remember by now. They realised Amerika was the land of freedom just for some, not for all. It was a devastating blow for people that survived Eastern Germany, Flake just dropped the concert tour and returned to Germany and they almost disbanded. Great and honest video, thanks for sharing.

    Lyrics translation:
    “If there is dancing, I will lead,
    even if you turn on your own
    let you be controlled a little,
    I'll show you how it's done correctly.
    We form a lovely round dance,
    the “freedom” is playing on all violins,
    Music comes from the White House,
    in front of Paris stands Mickey Mouse.
    .....
    I know of steps that serve well
    and I’ll protect you against “misconduct”
    and who does not want to dance at the end,
    still do not know that he has to dance!
    We form a lovely round dance,
    I will show you the direction,
    to Africa comes Santa Claus,
    and in front of Paris stands Mickey Mouse.”
    This song is about how America, while undeniably having a huge impact in the worlds culture with brilliant marketing / propaganda - is basically a worldwide kind of bully who must always impose their will, view and intervene in everyone else's affairs, for their own (corporate) interests...
    If you don’t behave, we will get our powerful army to “bring democracy to your country” and our corporations will take over your natural wealth.
    Look at the Amerika's official video.
    Americas cultural influence- Coca Cola, Burger King, Nike, Asian Rockabilly, etc., Middle Eastern taking off his Nike shoes to bow and pray to the oil...
    Just watch official video and think about lyrics - Coca Cola (artificial drink), wonderbra (fake breasts), etc. but everything wrapped up in sparkly, shiny marketing that appeals to consumeristic masses... And First Nations people dance... Who were victims of undeniable genocide in North America.
    Rammstein is clearly 'unhappy' with American hegemony into other cultures and societies, which has spread with economic and military interventions for over the past 70 years.
    Look at the Amerika's video again.
    At the end, you see it is a made up video, and “they are on the Moon”... This implies to recent doubts expressed by other countries whether US ever landed on the Moon as new suspicious details of landing video were discovered.... Or was it only again, just a brilliant propaganda?...
    The song and video are so intelligently loaded with multiple layers...
    Last year’s Rammstein song & video “Deutschland” gives introspective into German crimes and flaws through the history.

    There is a verse in another version were he sings "this is not a love song, I don't speak my mothers tongue". He sees his German culture like many other cultures diluted by the American marketing machine. I think even in America those who are more cognizant of the constant selling of stuff and how it does not make people happy might agree with this idea or thought. Especially as Americans travel to other countries to only to be disappointed by the Americanization of other cultures. Great band that I will be seeing in concert in Sept. in San Antonio Texas!

    "This is not the love song" - Exactly. This song is about the huge influence of America to other countries and its cultures. E.G. the Halloween. In our country we were never celebrating this one. But it is just so much popularized, so the people celebrate this. The local traditions and holidays are dying here in the shadow of the US ones (I know, the Halloween is not originally the US celebration, but the US made it popular and changed its meaning a bit...bit more.) We have the celebration called: "All Souls' Day". In this day the people goes to the graveyards to to honor the memory of the deceased. Nothing like "trick or treat". Just nice, decent and humble event.

    This song resonates with Europeans even more, because there is a cultural saying to it as well. Now it's not used anymore almost at all, but the saying "it's America" or "it will be America" means that something is or will be amazing. The term simply isn't being used anymore, because people see that the US simply isn't the ideal that it used to represent.

      Sarcasm means saying something that you dont really mean. Thats absolutely not the case here. They mean everything they say, but they present it in a mostly ironic way.
      "Und wer nicht tanzen will am Schluss, weiß noch nicht dass er tanzen muss" is not sarcasm. Rammstein is a left wing and very much liberal band. Songs like "Mann gegen Mann" ('Man against man') are making fun of the tradition of war, where men are fighting each other, but as soon as they fight in bed, it is considered "disgusting" by a lot of people. "Ausländer" is a criticism of colonializm. "Links, 2,3,4" is literally their proof. "They want my heart to be at the 'right' place, but once i look down it beats 'left'."

Their songs are always political and about life. Their last album Zeit is a very good Album. If we talk about Amerika or Russia. You can not dictate democratie. Russia and China are not democraties and never will be. We in Europe make that same mistake. All the wars we have to stop. We have to love each other.

    Amerika (German spelling) is one of their first songs with a somewhat political commentary. As usually they go into more detail in their making of video dedicated to their music videos. But the in 2004 published song was a reaction to the Iraq war. Even though they're singing "We're all living in America, America is wonderful..." the line "this is not a love song." makes their stance quite clear.
    Also, good luck getting tickets for Rammstein in Europe if you're not in their member club, they're sold out in a matter of hours, causing servers to crash, etc.

    ​@Glitch in the Matrix Multi-Media You appearantly don't speak german, so what is the point of reviewing this song without translated subtitles?
    There is a saying in germany, to let someone dance to your whistle (jmd. nach seiner Pfeife tanzen lassen), meaning that you force someone to do exactly to your will. The whole theme of this song is exactly that. Everybody has to hold hands and do a circular dance and America is leading the direction. The verse "We're all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar" is not positive at all. It means, no matter where you live, Amerika is calling the shots and you are not allowed to say anything bad about it.
