Du Hast - CrackerJackies Juke Box Traditional Cache
onecrazycanadian: HI,
It's been well over a month since I last contacted you and there has been no response since my last contact. Consequently I am archiving the cache at this time. If you happen to perform the needed maintenance in the near future I may consider unarchiving the cache.
Thanks

This is the cache result of CrackerJackies Jukebox GC4GJ1Z. There were many songs and artists to choose from but after seeing the band Rammstein in concert the summer of 2012 it was a no brainer to choose this band and location. Container holds only the logsheet. Bring your own writing stick.
Some info on Rammstein: Rammstein is an industrial heavy metal band from Berlin, Germany. The band was formed in 1994 and consists of 6 members. Since their formation there have been no changes in their band line-up. Their songs are usually in German, but they have also performed songs entirely or partially in other languages such as English, Spanish, French and Russian. As of 2009, they have sold over 25 million records worldwide. Their award-winning live shows are known for their pyrotechnic performance and theatrics. Although Rammstein is often generalized as “New German Hardness”, their music spans a variety of related styles, including Heavy Metal, Industrial Music, and Groove Metal. Wordplay is a fundamental component of Rammstein's lyrics. In many instances, the lyrics are phrased such that they can be interpreted in several ways. The song "Du hast", for example, is a play on the German marriage vow Willst Du, bis der Tod euch scheidet, treu ihr sein für alle Tage? ("Will you, until Death separates you, be faithful to her for the rest of your days?"). In the song, the traditional affirmative response, Ja ("Yes"), is replaced by its negation Nein ("No"). The song starts, in fact, with a play on words: Du... Du hast... Du hast mich... meaning "You have me". This line is often mistaken for "You hate me", because in German, there is no distinction between the pronunciation of Du hasst ("you hate") and Du hast ("you have"). The pun is later resolved as the line is completed as Du hast mich gefragt ("You [have] asked me"). Confusingly, the band did also make an English version of the song named "You Hate", which was not translated directly from "Du hast". While many arguments are made about "Du hast", it is known that Rammstein used this wording to mislead and create humour in the song, causing many non-speakers of German to be confused. Rammstein have achieved particular fame for their hugely over-the-top stage show, using so many pyrotechnics that fans eventually coined the motto "Other bands play, Rammstein burns!" After an accident in 1996 the band used professionals to handle the pyrotechnics but lead singer Till Lindemann is now a licensed pyrotechnician who spends entire songs engulfed head-to-toe in flames. The heat is so intense that on occasion, people have been carried out of Rammstein concerts suffering from heat exhaustion, and lighting gantries have been seen glowing red-hot from repeated fireball hits. The band's costumes are equally outlandish. During different tours they wore lederhosen, corsets, and vague military uniforms. They have also been dressed as butchers and sailors.
