it's a strong criticism of american consumerism and the overall cultural spread - you see thehe how the many nationalities, ethnical and cultural societies are using american brands and products. and the part "this is not a love song" basically says that the saying "we're all living in america" is not a compliment.
Pure sarcasm, love their humor in this one, I feel like when they say "this is not a love song" is because so many people, if wasn't for that line in particular would take the lyrics seriously and would of thought they are worshipping this behaviors, which is kinda sad because so many people out there don't understand sarcasm
@@vanessae_e with the "I'm not using my mother tongue" I see more of the context of the video. at the moment he dresses as a native American, hardly any of them speak their original mother tongue, instead English, the language of the conquerors of their country.
@@vanessae_e dude! exactly the line "sometimes war" is the sarcasm. You ppl fkin started wars everywhere around the globe all the time for the past decades. Cant believe how uneducated u ppl are. guess ure signed up to go extinct allready. Edit: sorry, dont wanted to overburden ur lil murricbrains, im off to where people know thinking natively
There's also the resentment some of us Americans have for those who paint us all with a broad brushstroke. Unless you like Americans painting Europeans with a broad brushstroke, then extend us the same courtesy that you wish for yourself.
I just don't think that most phrases in American work like: "This is where the music plays" "You dance to my tune!" translated directly without cultural background and knowledge - really hard to interpret!?
Nein entschuldigung, das ist sicher kein sarkasmus - es legt die überhebliche unfähigkeit offen, die amerikanern verschlossen bleibt - das(!) ist der witz und zeigt den finger auf die menschliche unfähigkeit(!) andere zu akzeptieren ..
It's genius on so many levels.... The way they portray the American influence/dream through media and television....to other countries.... Especially the theme on the moon landing.... Was it all fake....? Who knows but as long as everyone thinks they're free and living the dream.... They're fine with it... And THAT is what makes the masses ultimately easily fooled and manipulated.... That's what I get from it... "It's called the American dream... Because you have to be asleep... to believe it..." -George Carlin
„This is not a love song“ seems like a reference to John Lydons Public Image Ltd‘s song of the same title. Can anyone confirm? Great song, great reaction.
"Vor Paris steht MM" is referencing war - to "stand in front of a city" in German (can) mean that war arrived at your doorsteps, depends on tone and context. For example, in 1945, the Russians stood in front of Berlin, die Russen standen vor Berlin. But since MM isn't a military leader or faction, we know that this is about cultural and economic war (unless actual war is needed to protect economic interests ofc). I don't even actually believe that they were purely targeting the US, but the age of "globalization" in general.
@@janrosenbaum9382 Yes it's about the Disneyland near Paris. The song is about the american culture spread over to whole world either peaceful or by force. We are living in america because it doesn't matter where you live on the planet the US wants to rule over you.
The Philippines is the place where it feels like American culture has killed the original culture. Everyone prefer the American products to the native. Everyone listens to American music. Everyone admires the USA no matter who the president might be.
sorry but your original culture got killed already when the spains colonized you, your whole civilisation is even named after their leader, King Phillip II. Even the christian religion is not part of your original culture what makes the most part of the phillipines population nowdays.
This song came out in september 2004, so very short after the controversial iraq war, where false claims under the Bush government lead to the biggest middle east war since the first Iraq war.
You have to consider that there guys were raised up in east germany and for them america and everything from their dominant culture was new and overrealming There are some interviews were they critiques ist Except if Richard he loves america
it´s not only a east german thing. Most of the Americans I've met so far have been really great. In my childhood, all the heroes were Americans. But then I saw pictures of the Vietnam War, and that's when the image started to crack. With Jimmy Carter, hope arose and then ... the fear of World War 3 the fight for oil against the allies of yesterday, and or the against the friends of my enemies, with the enemies of my enemies, no matter which. All that could benefit all Americans is socialism, meaning communism = McCarthysm The main part of American culture is consumption!
Another song from my favorite album 🤩. Hopefully you will also react to "Moskau" that song is meant to be sung with the girls from "Tatu" (some Russian singers who were famous at that time) but I don't know reached an agreement. The choir is accompanied by a girl and sung in Russian, a beauty 👌🏼
Nope.. nice try but.. you didn't get. The video is trying to tell you that the rest of the world thinks America(k)a is fake.... and you just don't get it...
So The mickey mouse reference in Paris , ie cheap plastic mickey mouse in the city that is Paris shows the influence of the US culture on the world thus we are all living in Amerika , soon to be were all living in the utopia that is china long live Xu ?? Or Putin for leader of the world , Whats trump up to these days Id suggest a recount , we all know and if you don't know you should
I'm American and I love my country, but I'm also at odds with some of the things we do. In a lot of ways we are spoiled, entitled and we seem to think our opinion is fact. With that being said; I am absolutely not bothered by this song, in fact I love it.
Its really critique towards America, they are littarly singing 'this is not a lovesong' .. wars all across the world, slaughterd native americans, and so on ... but at least your good in burgers and cola .. lol
Actually if you’re black you have more chances.. like free college, jobs based on race, housing based on race, free money.. name any whiter race who gets all that? There’s more homeless white people in America than any other race.. 100k white and asian kids went without top college educations due to affirmative action, yet all had higher scores sometimes twice..

Yup, yup!
The end of the video “making of” part is a reference to the theories that say that the landing of the moon is fake.

Yeah, they did repeat that line, LoL!

I don't think you understand the resentment in Europe to the way the U.S. thinks it has the right to rule the world. Exactly what this song is about.
No, I get it. There's some truth to it, nobody is denying that.
There's also the resentment some of us Americans have for those who paint us all with a broad brushstroke. Unless you like Americans painting Europeans with a broad brushstroke, then extend us the same courtesy that you wish for yourself.

To get the zero gravity effect, they played the song at double speed then slowed it down post production.
Yeah, I checked out the "Making Of" video right after. :)
„This is not a love song“ seems like a reference to John Lydons Public Image Ltd‘s song of the same title. Can anyone confirm?
