          There were A LOT of songs about nuclear war in 80s music. German youth in the 80s was very aware that in nuclear war Germany (being a huge part of the east west border) would just be ground zero to be vaporized in WW3.

          Thinking about Germany people associate the Autobahn, what some don’t know - there were pre-built detonation chambers so key sections and bridges could be mined with atomic demolition munitions in order to stop the east bloc tank armies from advancing.

          ChatGpt translation of the song lyrics:

          When in the Canale Grande submarines drop anchor
          And on St. Peter’s Square in Rome missile launch pads stand
          When a carpet of bombs floats over the bazaar of Ankara
          And from the hills of Olympus a Pershing II rises

          Then everything is long too late
          Then, when nothing works anymore
          Visit Europe
          As long as it still stands

          In front of the old Cologne Cathedral a mushroom cloud rises into the air
          And the sky is filled with the scent of neutron waffles
          When in Paris the Eiffel Tower bows westward in a final salute
          And near Big Ben a gentle Alpine glow appears

          Then everything is long too late
          Then, when nothing works anymore
          Visit Europe
          As long as it still stands

          When haute cuisine turns into a witch’s cauldron
          Where the cook from overseas flambés his old world
          There’s laughter and applause, even the waiter gets a kick
          What’s left to us but culture — we wish you bon appétit

          Then everything is long too late
          Then, when nothing works anymore
          Visit Europe
          As long as it still stands
          Yes, then everything is long too late
          Then, when nothing works anymore
          Visit Europe
          As long as it still stands
          As long as it still stands, as long as it still stands
          As long as it still stands, as long as it still stands

    I’ve been a fan of Rammstein for many years. I know the gist of what each song means and know a few words of German. But I can’t translate word for word.

      My first introduction to them was Yuve Yuve Yu, also a banger.

      I got a little hyper fixated on throat singing one week and they popped into my feed. Bike rides and road trips have never been the same.

    I don’t speak French and the soundtrack of the game Clair obscur expedition 33 is all in French and I can’t stop listening to it. So I have no idea about the lyrics but it sounds so pleasant to the ears.

    You can’t hear it from there, but I am screaming in non-native English speaker.

    Or, to put it another way, every single song you know released before 1995

    Polish cow song. The melody itself is from another song, “How long - Lipps, inc” apparently. But both songs do well with that beat.
