Mein Land came about after two incidents involving Till Lindemann in California. He had a slight disagreement with some surfer dudes when they realised that he's German (coming over here, stealing our waves type of thing) and later, a local sheriff caught him answering a call of nature behind a bush ("This is my country and you're peeing on it!"). Answer-Mein Land with the initial piss-take of "The Beach Boys" and "Baywatch", which are both brilliant in their cheesiness. Underlying all of it though is the message about immigrants and refugees-where are you going, you've some here from the North/South/East/West, but you're in my country). The final scenes, then take things down a darer route with the comments about being expelled, expelling and people being forgotten. The overarching theme is of how xenophobia has taken over the West. Another subject that few bands would cover, but Rammstein aren't afraid to.
Hurray you found educatedmarines channel! The making of this video is pretty funny, Till is really unimpressed with the Beach Boys shirts and is grumping about having to smile and dance around 🤣 I'd go to the beach with you, Suesue!
Inspiration for the song came, when Till went alone surfing and had an experience with someone, who didn´t like foreigners in their country. I don´t know if it was in the US (but probably).
With Rammstein, you must always/mostly see them as playing the devils advocate. As in "Mein Teil" Till is in the role of of the cannibal and the one eaten, he is here in the role of the One searching for a home(land) as well as in the role of those that claim it's their land and they don't want people here. The Video is California but the song is universal. It's not like he claims California, but imitating the locals. Xenophobia and locals not wanting to share are common in every country. Refugees who lost their homeland are seen as invaders all around the globe, while boundaries and "property" are man made social constructs. With growing population there is now land left someone can claim. But if you go by the Bible or if you go by evolution and atheism, the earth is given to us all. It no one's property and everyone's property. Humans traveled ever since they exist, to search for better homeland. The problem is when you arrive at a place where you feel you belong here and want to stay, nobody invites you but sees you as an invader and chase you away.
Not a great song, but fun video! Now, Christophe and Oliver still have the bodies to rock no shirts. Till fell apart when lockdown hit, he got very very sick w Covid... he'd always been super fit...was nearly an Olympic swimmer, but for a last minute injury that changed his life's path...

Thx Tiger Lily! Pick you up in an hour.. 😂💜
This Band is Absolute Insane.The Sound and the Videos are indescribable
It is interesting that this song was released before the great immigrant movement from Syria to Germany, because the lyrics just fit perfectly.
You are really very intelligent and down to earth people. You are so bright an open. It is such a delight watching you discuss.

How is that a problem? You think you can just show up at someones house uninvited?Learn some manners.
@@kenbean75 You did not understand. Also Land is not house.
@@kenbean75Land is not your house. It’s for everyone. What’s in nature belongs to everyone.
One can never over dress for Rammstein. No offense Bonesy, but SueSue wears the hat better. And it might make a great beach 🏖 hat.
That's good to know! I plan on going all out for when I see them live 😅
Thank you Kent! 💜💜 Suesue
Get that girl to the Beach!
