    A few Rammstein English versions have German in them. Rammstein are German though but they have released these

    Du Hast

    Engel

    Crematory.

    They have a lot of songs that mix English with German lyrics.

    They do it way better than Rammstein as well.

    Check out this song [my number one song from the bands arsenal]:

    Fly - Crematory

    I was just trying to think of English bands, but if people are mentioning bands, then I'd aslo say Fury in the Slaughterhouse or Bitune.

    How about Hanzel Und Gretyl? They are an american band who makeout like they are german. Similar to Rammstein at times.

    Try 'Stick It Out' by Frank Zappa, off of Joe's Garage.

    Apart from Rammstien, all I can think of is the line "Sprechen sie Deutches, baby" from Beck's 'Loser'.

    ...I'm sure that's german anyway, I never did that at school :o

    Three separate lines in HMWYRS have German phrases:

    Je t'adore, ich liebe dich,

    Das ist gut! C'est fantastique!

    C'est si bon, mm? Ist es nicht?

    Status Quo, Paper plane

    "Riding in a Three Grand Detsche Car a to be is often very far, home is near bust still a long way. Legs and head all feel the wrong way then I realise my Detsche Car.

    How about the English songs Komm, gib mir deine Hand and Sie liebt dich by the Beatles. They are in German :p

    Blur - Parklife?

    It's got nothing to do with your Vorsprung Durtcsch Technick you know

    Or how about Rock Me Amadeus by Falco? Every chorus in English, every verse in German. I mainly know about this cos I've been playing it on Singstar recently :o

    The Beatles recorded both "She Loves You" and "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" in German . . .

    Lemmy counts the band in in German at the start of "Tear You Down" on the Overkill album - does that count ?

    There's a Belgian band who sang in English called 2 Belgen who had a great song called 'Lena' that has a few lines of German in it - it wasn't a hit in the UK though (I think!).

    Worth checking out if you're into the electronica scene of the mid-80s :)

    Yes it is based on a German Folk song. I cannot remember the title though.

    How about "O Tannenbaum", "Stille Nacht" or "Deutschland, Deutschland Uber Alles"? Of course the words of the last song are different now, or so I believe. :rolleyes:
