"Manchmal haben Frauen..." ("Sometimes women have...") is a song by Die Ärzte. It is the eleventh track and the second single from their 2000 album Runter mit den Spendierhosen, Unsichtbarer!. It is about a man who meets a drunken man in a bar who tells him something that's unbelievable for him - sometimes women like a little spanking. The man rushes home and asks his girlfriend about this. The woman starts to beat the man stating that guys like him always deserve some beating.

The video

The band members are judges at a female bodybuilder show. After the show, Bela goes home with a bodybuilder. They jump in the bed and she starts to beat Bela.

B-sides

  • "Rettet die Wale" ("Save the whales") is a call to save the whales. A Japanese language version was released on the Japanese compilation "Poptastic Conversation", titled "Kujira o sukue". It's unknown if this selection was intentional, but it fits well, because in Japan, whaling is legal.
  • "Matthäus 1:5:0" is about Lothar Matthäus, the title a pun on the German name for Matthew the Evangelist, the citation form for Bible passages and football scores.
  • "Methan" ("Methane") is about people who are always looking for a fight.
