i like rammstein, used to listen to them a lot
had the cd Herzeleid and one other. i liked all the songs on them except the come in my boat song
(which is probably a good song but i couldn't ever get past the first 20 seconds without either making fun of it or switching to the next song)
i agree with elfen lied that the lyrics really are very good
i don't speak/read german but i read translations so that i'd know what i was singing along to
saw them live (during family values tour? though i went for rammstein not korn) and it was one of my top 10 favorite concerts (beating out some shows of bands i prefer) highlights of the live show were the fire.. the fire...
the mock sodomy of the keyboardist with this phallic hose strap-on thing that he then sprayed the audience down with... the fire..
oh and the music was great too and tons of energy (the keyboardist was hilarious also in the way he played and moved)
edit: never knew about the rammstein pooh, teletubby, and misheard lyric phenomenon on youtube
some of them are really funny (example of misheard lyrics)

You know the anime Elfen Lied though, right? Thats where it comes from if im not mistaken...
That is a misconception Around here. I've know about the poem long before I've know about the manga/anime Elfen Lied, which I do like btw, as evident by my inclusion of Lucy in my Profile picture. But that is not where my name comes from.
It comes from this.
Bei Nacht im Dorf der W?chter rief: Elfe!
Ein ganz kleines Elfchen im Walde schlief
wohl um die Elfe!
Und meint, es rief ihm aus dem Tal
bei seinem Namen die Nachtigall,
oder Silpelit h?tt' ihm gerufen.
Reibt sich der Elf' die Augen aus,
begibt sich vor sein Schneckenhaus
und ist als wie ein trunken Mann,
sein Schl?flein war nicht voll getan,
und humpelt also tippe tapp
durch's Haselholz in's Tal hinab,
schlupft an der Mauer hin so dicht,
da sitzt der Gl?hwurm Licht an Licht.
Was sind das helle Fensterlein?
Da drin wird eine Hochzeit sein:
die Kleinen sitzen bei'm Mahle,
und treiben's in dem Saale.
Da guck' ich wohl ein wenig 'nein!?
Pfui, st??t den Kopf an harten Stein!
Elfe, gelt, du hast genug?
Gukuk! Gukuk!
Or in English.
At night in the village the watchman cried "Eleven!"
A very small elf was asleep in the wood -
just at eleven! -
And he thinks that the nightingale
must have called him by name from the valley,
or Silpelit might have sent for him.
So the elf rubs his eyes,
comes out of his snail-shell house,
and is like a drunken man,
his nap was not finished;
and he hobbles down, tip tap,
through the hazel wood into the valley,
slips right up to the wall;
there sits the glow-worm, light on light.
"What are those bright windows?
There must be a wedding inside;
the little people are sitting at the feast,
and fooling around in the ballroom.
So I'll just take a peep in!"
Shame! he hits his head on hard stone!
Well, elf, had enough, have you?
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!
This poem is actually sung in the manga Elfen Lied. One of the characters teaches it to Lucy.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
One rule about me:
If I'm going to tolerate your insanity, you will tolerate mine.
Almost all men can stand adversity. If you want to test a mans character, give him power.
You see what power is; holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them.
Well Du Hast and Rosenrot.
I think people who don't normally listen to anything by Rammstein have heard these or listen to these the most.
