I've always liked that line "I am the corner of every room" . As "the corner" is seen as a punishment and bad place to send people to. people don't know why it's bad but it's just a bad thing for some reason. Works great in this song. Gotta appreciate Till's poetic song writing
Five of them went to the gym, one didn‘t.. And the fact that almost nobody does stuff like this shows how much it‘s still needed. This song is 16 Years old.
@@xsezz Well, Rammstein managed to mostly eliminate their confused neo-nazi fanbase with this, so that changed at least! Now most people got the message that they aren't right-wing and openminded :D
Hey there! Thanks a lot for reacting to this video. This is one of my favorites. You've got the best reaction to it from all the other people that I've seen so far and for that you have my respect. As a gay man I find this song so meaningful and it's cool to see other people not freaking out just for a different form of art. It's Rammstein, they're fun and raw honest with all their art and points of view. Keep rocking and greetings from El Salvador!!!
This song actually supports equality and gays rights in general. The fact that so many YT channels react in the exact opposite way and think the band disrespected homosexuals, is why a discussion about this topic is STILL very much needed nowadays. Happy to see you being open-minded! :)
I heard that the nazi community hated this song, and Mann Gegen Mann showed the world that Rammstein is a band who is anything, but never a nazi group.
4:10 Yes you are correct, and you know why? Because the director of Paris is the director of Mann gegn Mann. Jonas Akerlund. This is a strong song, is about homophobia and how homosexuals are treated by society in Europe, the lyrics are direct and hard beacause that's how homosexuals are treated like I said. Fun fact: The lyrics, according to Richard , were presented to gay friends and communities prior to recording, to ensure that they did not contain offensive content.
Personally I love the natural way that the band has always had to talk about homosexuality, without being a sermon they have simply led by example and I must tell you, that many fans even today are surprised and criticize the band for it, some They are even disappointed, they believe the role of rude boys and when they see them like this they feel that their idols fall 😂😂😂.
They don´t want to be understood as political band, but on stage they often make clear statements on critical issues: th-cam.com/video/ycm45BQLJpg/w-d-xo.html - They did that in Russia too.
The main difference between this version and the live one, is that Till is not rolling the R in the official video but he does during the live performance
@@xsezz it's not easy for non-german speaers to figure that out and also in the end, Richard and Paul instead of saying 'Mann gegen Mann", they make a little bit of distortion and say "Mann GAYgen Mann"
So glad you didn't have the meltdown that some men have over this video. Seen some complaining that it should be naked women in it (which would defeat the object). I remember the first time my son saw this-"Mum, there's naked men on the television" "So there is" "OK". Deal with things sensibly and nobody loses the plot! I think Till dressed as some sort of demon signifies the way that homosexuals are often demonised or that his character in the video is the demon that fathers fear (as per the lyrics). Damn fine bodies on them all and obviously all men of character to do this. Kudos guys.
I love this song so much my words cannot describe. And when I listen to it, it Kinda reminds me of mas**rba*ing. Its starts of soft progresses and becomes soft anf then hard and then when Till screams you just (splash out) and the song then becomes more softer and then its like you still feel to amazing feeling (inside).
My skin belongs to the gentleman is pretty crappy translated. Herr stands for Sir/Mr. as well as a man, as well as a Master of S|aves/servants or butlers as well as for the Lord/God. My skin belongs to the Lord/Man would be a better translation to point out the wordplay. I am the servant/s|ave of two masters/men .. in the same way. This is even deeper as you should not have any other gods besides the Lord as well as hom0xxuality is a still a sin in the believe of the catho|ic church, but what if you are born gai but still are re|igious, it points out the dilemma.
@@xsezz I try to put the link down but youtube doesn't like it because I tried it for 5 times. The name of the video is Red Hot Chili Peppers - Right on time (Sox on cox)
@@jimooijevaar6894 Thank you. Yeah, TH-cam is weird like that... sometimes it works, sometimes it thinks it's spam. The name is good though, I'll add it to my list. Thank you! :)

The translation is not entirely correct. What Till is screaming translates into gay. He screams "Gaaaay". What has been translated is a more derogatory word for gay people. But this word that has been translated here is not used in the song.
Hi Coyote! I made the decision to use the word I did due to the writing used in the official booklet for the song in the Rosenrot cd. The lyrics state that the word "Schwulah" is used which is a negative slang word for gay people. Of course its based on the German word for "gay man" which is Schwuler. I simply chose the slang that I found most fitting with the themes of the song. I apologise if you believe it should be something different as I also debated which term to use
I believe that it is the correct word, indeed it is a derogatory word to refer to homosexual people, here in Mexico it would be "Marica" its equivalent 🤭
Hi Coyote! The word is definitely the right one. It makes me proud. If the gays (and yes, I include myself in that bunch for being bi) want to reclaim words like queer and faggot from the people who have used them to put us down, you cannot stop me. Derogatory? Only if we let the words hurt us.
@@sanni4368 Sorry, but I'm German and if Rammstein had wanted to use the German word for faggot, they would have done that too. Especially since both words sound similar in German. But this one it's definitely more derogatory than the word they used. The German word for faggot would have fit into the song as well as the German word for Gay. But they used gay and not faggot.
@@TomTomson81 I am sorry too, but you can understand why issues like these get under my skin. All good, I admit I don't know much German. But I will say that for me, "faggot" makes more sense there than "gay", it hits you differently if you know what I mean.
I respect that you didn't find this video "disturbing" like many others who (over)reacted to this
Thank you so much. I'm not surprised about the (over)reacting part...
Right i have seen some Reactions to this Song , they Freak out in the Clips

Interesting take. Nice catch!
In Russia and Poland where homophobia is promoted by the state, they kissed and waived the rainbow flag.
Yep, thats what I call a statement.
Вот только в России не было радужного флага вроде.
@@lkn1ghtl thats what she said 😉
Yeah, I believe I saw it in one of the Russian concerts.
That's why I love them, they always speak out.
Other reactors seem to be disgusted at the video and can barely watch it (at least pretend to). I knew you wouldn't be one of those people, respect :D
yes!
What can I say? Some people are sheltered... or faking it.
Five of them went to the gym, one didn‘t..
And the fact that almost nobody does stuff like this shows how much it‘s still needed. This song is 16 Years old.
Yeah, I'm not sure if you would get away with this kind of stuff today.
@@xsezz Well the more conservative media outlets reacted the same to this back then as they are doing now in regards to Lil Nas X' Montero.

I hear what you say. Very few groups could pull a video like this one, in my opinion.
What do you mean by "their idols fall"?
@@tobyplyter953 like they can’t see them as their idol, half the time people that go that far end up saying they “sold out” or something like that lol
@@Kwaarktart But who does that though?
It does take balz to do this!
Sure does!
Educated Marine deserves much more appreciation! 😅 He did an awsome job with the lyrics!
He really did! He puts in so much work and dedication in his videos, and it *really* shows!
Thank you very much!
Absolutely. We're very lucky to have him on lyrics!
love love love your reaction ... I have the same smile all the song !!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! :D
Oh how I’ve been waiting for this one. So feminine, yet so extremely manly 😄
I'm glad you enjoyed it.

Ah, I did not notice... then again me and German... LoL!

Good reaction from you! I have already seen many who have rated the song, and some have left, but screaming
Wow really? Crazy... Some people don't get out much.
Lol I love Alex's edit so much, my favorite so far. Thanks for the reaction!
"My favorite so far" - what we usually say when the new vid comes out 😂
@@StineFL 🤣🤣
Absolutely. He blew it out of the park with this one!
👧Till looks good with long hair....🤘

I don't think this clip is funny for a long time, but you made me laugh all the time 🤣
Thank you! I'm glad to hear that. Till's "fashion" LoL!
The chain-link in german "Glied" means also man-link or better known as penis
Thanks for not over reacting at the nudity some people overreact
For sure! Thank you for watching. :)
@@xsezz no problem
yes!
