From: Rohan :-D This is FUNNY! German rock band Rammstein SLAMS America with their anti-America song "Amerika"... and this Billboard reviewer doesn't get it!! He writes: Rammstein probably thought it would endear itself to its fans in the United States by releasing "Amerika" as the lead single to new album "Reise, Reise." The lyrics show the German industrial band with its heart in the right place, since the chorus cries "America is wonderful." The problem is, those words—and most of the others—are in German. The few that are sung in English pop out in absurd blurts: Coca-Cola, Mickey Mouse, Wonderbra. Unless the message is tongue in cheek, why praise another country in a language most won't understand, especially since another English phrase is thrown in ("This is not a love song/I don't sing my mother's tongue")? Despite the rousing chorus, "Amerika" is generic and lacks real excitement. (Could that be Rammstein's point?) Either way, better luck next time.—CLT Rammstein's SARCASTIC in this song, and certainly doesn't praise America with it... Funny! :-]
