Amerika
"We're all living in America, America, is wunderbar! ... Coca-Cola, Wonder-bra!"
Today must be song day. This lyric is from Rammstein's Amerika on their CD, Reise, Reise. I've managed to pass it up until today in favor of songs that appear earlier on the CD, but this song is really funny, at first glance. Sort of off-beat for their normal German heavy/death-metal music. This song is like what happened to polka when it was handed in the 1800s to Transylvanian vampire hunters with electric guitars.
Having now listened to it again and paid attention to the lyrics (in German), it's really a political statement about how American culture and politics influence the rest of the world.
Obviously, all countries and cultures have their influences on the global village, and arguably, America's is the most recognizable and the most prevalent. Whether this is good or bad is left for philosophers that have more time on their hands than I do.
Tamara says Rammstein's lead singer sounds like Count von Count from Sesame Street. Heh.
