Reise, Reise

The cover art uses the same source image as that of Rosenrot. The New Players Theatre in London staged a revival in 2004 to honor its 21st anniversary, but some reviewers noted that its "feelgood" sentiments had not aged well. Reportedly, the first 38 seconds (as the introduction in the American version and "easter egg" in the European version) of the title track were removed for the Japanese Edition in deference to the JAL Flight 123 disaster. In 1988, it was adapted into an animated TV special. However, it was too late to change it so they decided to use it for Japanese version. In its 1983 run in London's West End, it won an Olivier Award. It has two bonus tracks, a bonus DVD and different cover art.Rammstein stated that they came out with a different cover/theme for the Japanese CD because they no longer liked the original cover of Reise, Reise, but preferred this cover. Snoopy!!! The Musical was a musical comedy based on the Peanuts comic strip, originally performed at Lamb's Theatre off-Broadway in 1982.

In May 2005 Rammstein released a special Japanese version of Reise, Reise. According to animated special Snoopy's Reunion, they are named Molly and Rover. On this release, the easter egg fragment is placed at the beginning of "Reise, Reise" in normal playback and not hidden. Although Snoopy often mentions that he was one of eight puppies, the two other siblings never appeared in the comic strip. In fact, the strongest metaphor in the song is the comparison of love to a wild animal that many try and fail to tame. Belle, who looks like Snoopy with long eyelashes, is most notable in that there was a Belle stuffed animal available for many years. Amour has a rather mellow beat and lyrics that deal with love and the pain that goes with it. Marbles has spots on his fur, wears shoes, and considers some of Snoopy's behavior very odd.

It shows the band members climbing and hiking. Olaf, who wears a fur cap, is rotund in both body and face. The video was filmed in the Kaun Valley and on the Pitz Valley glacier in Tyrol, Austria. Andy looks like a disheveled version of Snoopy. Much of the instrumentation is the same for both versions, and Lindemann's voice is softer in the current version. Spike is very thin, wears a fedora and has long whiskers. Both versions, the current and the beta version, are very similar. Most often seen is Spike, who lives in the desert (near the real-life locale of Needles, California) and is friends with cacti.

Indeed, Ohne dich was planned for Mutter, but then dismissed. Snoopy has seven siblings, five of whom appear at some point in the strip: Andy, Belle, Marbles, Olaf, and Spike. The single includes as its 6th track the so-called beta version of what should have been part of Mutter. In the late 1970s Snoopy embarked upon a journey to visit Daisy Hill, only to find that the puppy farm had been replaced by a six-story parking garage. The central motif is Without you, I cannot be, without you..., With you, I am also alone, without you.... At one point in the series, Charlie Brown said that his parents bought Snoopy for him to cheer him up after another child threw sand in his face while they were playing in a sandbox. It follows a slow, even romantic balladic style. Shortly after his return to the farm, Snoopy was selected by Charlie Brown's parents as a companion for him.

Other countries' releases followed up from that date. Snoopy's original owner was a little girl named Lila, who had to return him to Daisy Hill after her family moved to an apartment where dogs were forbidden. "Ohne dich" was released as a the third single from the album on 22 November 2004 in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. His father used to run with hunting dogs, but would secretly run ahead and warn the rabbits. The song is a slow and brooding monologue of someone building a little house to entomb his victim alive - a possible interpretation of Edgar Allan Poe's The Cask of Amontillado. Over the course of the strip's run, it was revealed that Snoopy had been born and raised at the Daisy Hill Puppy Farm. The song refers to the Russian capital of Moscow and features two perspectives on the city: its beauty and culture, and the undercurrents of corruption. Snoopy also had his own little dance, which was named by an outside observer, the 'Snoopy Dance'.

Rumored to have originally been intended as a duet with Julia Volkova of Russian pop duo T.A.T.u., it instead features the vocals of Viktoria Fersh, whose voice bears a strong resemblance to Volkova's. Snoopy is also bilingual, as he "understands a little french." His dog food brand is called "For Dogs who flew in World War I and understand a little french." He failed his high school geometry course, which was his excuse for not being able to follow a golf course's 90 degree golfcart driving rule. This caused concerts scheduled in Asia to be canceled. When Linus began to wear eyeglasses, Snoopy would abscond with them. During a concert in Gothenburg, Sweden on July 30, 2005, Till Lindemann suffered a knee injury when Flake accidentally ran into him with the Segway. He used to torment Linus by grabbing one end of the blanket, taking Linus for a soaring glide, twirling him and letting him go flying. This parodies the ticker-tape parade. Snoopy used to get onto "kicks": pretending to be a vulture, a vicious ape, a python or a "whirlydog".

During live performances of this song, Flake is often seen riding around on a Segway HT; confetti cannons, with red, white and blue confetti in them, are also used. There was even a reference to a TV at one point. Till Lindemann, Rammstein's lead singer, wears a space suit with the name "Armstrong" on it - an obvious reference to Neil Armstrong, the first man on the Moon. Snoopy hates coconut candy and cookies, gets weed claustrophobia, and is deathly afraid of icicles dangling over his doghouse, which is dramatically larger inside than it is outside--or at least the basement is, being large enough to have a pool table and the paintings mentioned above. The end of the video shows that the band have actually been in a fake Moon set in a studio, complete with film crew, as a reference to Apollo moon landing hoax accusations. This story was later adapted as the animated special Snoopy's Getting Married, Charlie Brown. The video shows the band in Apollo-era space suits on the Moon with shots of other cultures acting like Americans. However, she ran off with Snoopy's brother Spike, and later a coyote upon their arrival at Spike's desert.

The band view it as a satirical commentary on Cocacolonization. For a while in 1977, Snoopy was engaged to an unseen female dog he met while on guard duty at Peppermint Patty's house. It has received mixed reviews: some perceive it as anti-American, others as being opposed to globalization. Snoopy's deft and droll throwaway lines were also an effective foil to Lucy's barbed remarks, making him less put-upon than the beseiged Charlie Brown or the slightly hapless Linus. It is sung largely in German with a chorus partly in English: We're all living in Amerika, Amerika ist wunderbar, We're all living in Amerika, Amerika, Amerika. Snoopy wondered what would be the point, since Charlie Brown already did everything he (Snoopy) wanted. It deals with the worldwide dominance of the culture of the United States of America. Charlie Brown's tormentor Lucy once demanded to know when he would be taking Snoopy to obedience classes.

"Amerika" was the second single released from Reise Reise. Charlie Brown was of course Snoopy's owner (although early in the strip he appeared to be a stray dog whom Charlie Brown and his friends had adopted (or vice versa)), but the relationship was anything but master and servant. It was due to be released as the fifth single from "Reise, Reise" but it was cancelled following the release of the first single, Benzin, from the next album, Rosenrot. In fact Snoopy reviled all cats generally, once remarking that they were "the crab grass on the lawn of life" and taking umbrage at the expression "cats and dogs", insisting that the proper expression was always "dogs and cats". Los is almost complete acoustic, featuring a bluesy electric guitar solo and harmonica. During one series of daily strips, Snoopy antagonized the cat each day, and the cat's paw made one giant slash move that, day by day, decimated Snoopy's freshly-rebuilt doghouse to a greater extent than the day before. On the video "The Making of Keine Lust", guitarist Richard Kruspe-Bernstein discussed the meaning of the song and video. "World War III").

The Video was up for a nomination for the MTV European Music Awards in November 2005. His arch-enemy (other than the Red Baron) is the unseen "Stupid Cat Next Door" (a.k.a. At the end of the video, the rest of the band abandons Flake, after he arrives late. Other than his owner Charlie Brown, Snoopy's best friend and confidante is the undersized yellow bird Woodstock, who only "speaks" in apostrophe marks. Flake appears in a motorized wheelchair. This Scouting theme reappears throughout the comic strip. The video, filmed in January of 2005 and released a month later, portrays a visibly aged and fat future version of the band, playing a reunion of sorts. Snoopy is also a "Beagle Scout", the Peanuts version of Eagle Scout and is the Scout leader for a troop comprised of Woodstock and his other bird friends.

Keine Lust, also released as a single, digipack and two-track, describes the band's disaffection with fame and money. Outside of his fantasy life he is the shortstop for Charlie Brown's Little League team (and the best player, nearly breaking Babe Ruth's record of 714 career home runs before Hank Aaron), and even owned a Van Gogh (later replaced by an Andrew Wyeth after his first doghouse caught fire and burned down). The alarmed father rides for help, holding the child in his arms, only to find that his son is dead; Rammstein replaces this with a typically morbid twist: after running into a storm sent by the "king of all the winds" which threatens all the passengers, the terrified father suffocates the child by holding him too tightly and the child's soul joins its "brothers" in the winds. He has also been a famous writer (who was actually published once, in an October 1995 storyline, in which one copy of his unnamed novel was written, but it failed to sell), an attorney (who once defended Peter Rabbit), a hockey player, an Olympic figure skater (who used to skate with Sonja Henie before she became "big time"), a world famous grocery checkout clerk who operated from the top of his dog house in an apron, the "Lone Beagle" (the first dog to fly solo across the Atlantic) and even the first astronaut to land on the moon. In the poem, the child cries out that the Erlkönig is abducting it. Snoopy also became "Joe Cool," as he put on sunglasses and leaned against the wall (in standard "cool" fashion) doing nothing. Rammstein's version differs markedly from Goethe's original in describing the fate of the child. For this character he would don goggles and a scarf and fly his Sopwith Camel (actually his doghouse), battling the Red Baron (who appeared vicariously through the bulletholes he left riddled in the doghouse).

As in the poem, the travellers are menaced by a mysterious spirit which "invites" the child to join him (though only the child can hear the spirit's invitation). This soon became so commonplace as to be almost unnoticeable, as Snoopy developed a variety of alter egos, most notably the World War I flying ace. The song replaces Goethe's travelling man and child on horseback with a man and child on an aircraft, and the Erlkönig himself with the "king of all the winds". Then, Snoopy started walking on two legs like a human. Other than this somewhat oblique reference, the song does not have anything to do with Tibetan Buddhism or the Dalai Lama. One of the first odd developments of Snoopy was his tendency to sleep on top of his doghouse, rather than inside it. "Flugangst" ("fear of flying", or more loosely "flight fright") was also considered as a name before Rammstein settled on "Dalai Lama" in reference to the current Dalai Lama's well-publicised dislike of air travel. I don't envy dogs the lives they have to live."¹.

The band apparently considered calling the song "Erlkönig" in homage to Goethe's poem. Otherwise, he leads kind of a dull, miserable life. Dalai Lama is an adaptation of der Erlkönig, a poem written by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832) in 1782 and subsequently set to music by many composers, including Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828) in 1815. Schulz summed up Snoopy's character in a 1997 interview: "He has to retreat into his fanciful world in order to survive. This content led to its airing on TV being restricted to after 11pm. Peanuts book title Life's a dream, Charlie Brown). The video shows Till eating and copulating with an angel; Flake performing ballet; Richard wrestling his twin, Oliver writhing on the floor in a spasm; the whole band fighting in a mudpit; and five of the band members crawling out of a Berlin U-Bahn (subway) station while held on leashes carried by "Frau" Christoph Schneider, who is dressed as a woman. The contrast between Snoopy's existence in a dream world and Charlie Brown's in the real world is central to the humour and philosophy of Peanuts (see e.g.

Flake escapes from the pot and starts running around the stage with flames erupting from his arms and legs, while chased by a knife-wielding Till. Many of Peanuts' memorable moments come in Snoopy's daydream as a writer: his eternal opener on the typewriter "It was a dark and stormy night..." is taken from Edward George Bulwer-Lytton's 1830 novel Paul Clifford. After the second chorus, Till takes a flamethrower and roasts the bottom of the pot, "cooking" Flake. In addition to Snoopy's ability to "speak" his thoughts to the reader, many of the human characters in Peanuts have the uncanny knack of reading his thoughts and responding to them. Keyboardist Christian "Flake" Lorenz appears in the pot, with metal cylinders attached to his arms and legs, and plays the keyboard during the song. Snoopy was a silent character for the first two years of his existence, but on October 19, 1952 he verbalized his thoughts to readers for the first time via a thought balloon; Schulz would utilize this device for nearly all of the character's appearances in the strip thereafter. He pulls out a giant cooking pot with a portable keyboard attached to one side. Schulz was originally going to call him "Sniffy" until he discovered that name was used in a different comic strip.

In live performance, Till Lindemann appears dressed as a blood-stained chef holding a microphone with a large butcher's knife attached to the end. Snoopy first made his appearance on the strip on October 4, 1950, two days after the strip premiered. The song has also been remixed by Arthur Baker and Pet Shop Boys (these are included on the CD single). . Mein Teil attracted considerable controversy in Germany, with the media dubbing it the "Kannibalensong", and this helped to boost it to second place in the German music charts after its release in early August 2004. Snoopy began his life in the strip as a fairly ordinary dog, but eventually evolved into perhaps the strip's most dynamic character - and arguably one of the most recognizable comic characters in the world.

He's gotta be in his 50s!" There is also an episode where Brian gets fired from The New Yorker magazine, and they hang a sign on the door that says "No Dogs Allowed", similar to Snoopy, Come Home.
