German Songs About Dicks: Schlager, Rammstein and Deutschrap
The German entries cover ninety years and every register the language has, from white tie to industrial metal. The Comedian Harmonists' 1930 hit about spring and the "asparagus" coming up is still a seasonal standard; Rammstein contribute Mein Teil, built on a real cannibalism case, and Pussy, their first number one in Germany and very much a joke. Underneath sit Kool Savas's LMS, on the country's index of media harmful to minors since 1999, and Die Kassierer's love song to a scrotum in ninety-eight seconds.
