German or Japanese

[Antithesis]

Hast du etwas Zeit für mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Denkst du vielleicht g'rad an mich
Dann singe ich ein Lied für dich
Von 99 Luftballons
Und dass so was von so was kommt

99 Luftballons
Auf ihrem Weg zum Horizont
Hielt man für Ufos aus dem All
Darum schickte ein General
'ne Fliegerstaffel hinterher
Alarm zu geben, wenn es so wär
Dabei war'n da am Horizont
Nur 99 Luftballons

99 Düsenjäger
Jeder war ein großer Krieger
Hielten sich für Captain Kirk
Das gab ein großes Feuerwerk
Die Nachbarn haben nichts gerafft
Und fühlten sich gleich angemacht
Dabei schoss man am Horizont
Auf 99 Luftballons

99 Kriegsminister -
Streichholz und Benzinkanister -
Hielten sich für schlaue Leute
Witterten schon fette Beute
Riefen Krieg und wollten Macht
Mann, wer hätte das gedacht
Dass es einmal soweit kommt
Wegen 99 Luftballons

99 Jahre Krieg
Ließen keinen Platz für Sieger
Kriegsminister gibt's nicht mehr
Und auch keine Düsenflieger
Heute zieh' ich meine Runden
Seh' die Welt in Trümmern liegen
Hab' 'nen Luftballon gefunden
Denk' an dich und lass' ihn fliegen

Summer semester coming up and I just can't fucking decide which language I want to learn. I'll be honest, I am more inclined to learn German but I just want opinions.

weird, I was choosing between these very 2 languages in 1st year, I took German and I don't regret it

the idea of learning a whole new language is challenging enough without having to learn Kanji on top of a new grammar and possible male/female inflections etc


however Japanese is a great language and I love when I notice that I've been looking less and less at the subtitles in anime

[Howard Roark]

a lot of people love rammstein too. doesn't make them any less one hit wondery

I know a surprising amount of Rammstein and had actually heard 2 of their other songs off th Lost Highway soundtrack before having heard Du Hast a year or 2 later

one song was called Hierate Mich and I had no idea what it meant, and so at a party meeting a german chick, she asked what german I knew, I said this and apparently i had inadvertently proposed to her

Hierate Mich is the imperative for "marry me"

Rammstein is still good. Who the hell knows what theyre saying, or why theyre so fucked up, but the beat is good.

Ivve, partially true, theyre wierd as hell, make lots of odd videos, and tend to get in lots of trouble for their live concerts for nudity, odd stuff, violence, etc.

An odd video:

[Howard Roark]

one of my favorite songs by them, I kinda wish it stayed as melodic as the start

[Howard Roark]

and ya, Rammstein concerts are messed up, he's often covered in silver body paint or lit on fire (the way stuntmen do)

also:

Rammstein takes their name indirectly from the German town of Ramstein-Miesenbach, the site of the flight show disaster on 28 August 1988. The band's signature song, "Rammstein", is a commemoration of the disaster. In a short period before the band became well known, they performed using the name "Rammstein-Flugschau" (literally meaning "Rammstein-Airshow").

basically the town is famous due to a disaster/tragedy, for Canadians it might be like calling a band Walkerton, for americans it might be like calling it Virigina Tech

[Qalbert]

howie I made a rammstein joke did you see it

[Qalbert]

it was ever so funny, teehee

[Shiroikage]

[Howard Roark]

[Howard Roark]
