I have to admit to a guilty pleasure. I fuckin’ love Rammstein. I play it loud and don’t worry if people think I ought listen to more cerebral fare. (That said I tend to not crank it while Mrs. Curmudgeon is in the house… I’m not an animal.) As for the band, I don’t give a shit what they’re saying, it sounds great in German and so long as the guitar doesn’t let up I’m happy.
Meanwhile, I’m constantly impressed with the ability of Russians to remind me that crazy rednecks aren’t limited to North America. Thanks to Nourishing Obscurity I have now experienced a Russian redneck kazoo/accordion Rammstein remake complete with the original German lyrics. God bless us, it’s a great time to be alive! (Note, I have no idea how Los Colorados is a Russian band (which sings in German!?!)… they don’t teach that shit in school.)
Of course, I need to link to the original too:
