"German Music."

So I just discovered this German group called Tocotronic, and downloaded a few of their songs. One of them has a real dirge feeling to it, and I was wondering what the poor singer was so upset about. As this is the internet, I looked up the lyrics in german and translated them back to English.

The song is called Frieburg, it's clearly a work of genius, and it translates something like this:

I do not know, why I hate you in such a way,
bicycle drivers of this city.
I am alone and I know it
and I find it even cool
and it demonstrates fraternization.

I do not know, why I hate you in such a way,
Backgammon players of this city.
I am alone and I know it
and I find it even cool
and it demonstrates fraternization.

I do not know, why I hate you in such a way,
dance theatres of this city.
I am alone and I know it
and I find it even cool
and it demonstrates fraternization.
I am alone and I know it
and I find it even cool
and it demonstrates fraternization.

You almost said that like Gary Barlow, or something:
"He should be running t'country"

Do you think T'Pau were from Crewe?

Ich finde Musik auf Rammstein sehr gut- Weil es fantastisch ist! Ich finde also ATB, DJ Jurgen und Lou Bega (Ja, Er IST EIN DEUTSCHLANDER!)gut!
