"Bück dich" ("Bend down," "Bend over") is a song by the Neue Deutsche Härte band Rammstein that first appeared on their second full-length album, Sehnsucht. The lyrics refer to sodomy.
[edit] Live performance and controversy
This song is best known for its live performance. When performing it live, vocalist Till Lindemann has simulated anal sex with keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz using a dildo. Christian "Flake" Lorenz has confirmed in an interview that the dildo squirts a mixture of Pernod liquor and water; however, bandmate Paul Landers claims it's water and Ouzo. (Both are anise liquors.) This performance is controversial, and once led to Lindemann and Lorenz being arrested during a concert on June 5, 1999 in Worcester, Massachusetts (USA)[1][2]. They were each fined $200 and spent the night in jail despite the fact shock-rock band Gwar performs similar acts. Consequently, two versions of Rammstein's Live aus Berlin were released - one VHS including "Bück dich" and another VHS and DVD without it.
The song made a comeback in the Made In Germany 1995-2011 tour.
[edit] Trivia
- The line Bück dich, dein Gesicht ist mir egal ("Bend down/over, I don't care about your face") is from the film Tokyo Decadence.
