"We forgive you, Germany"

The title is a line from Lil' Dicky's song We Love The Earth.

I gasped when I first heard this - not sure why. It just seemed...provocative?

My question is: What do the Germans think of it??
My son is learning the song on his instrument so I was just musing and thought someone here might know!

Something to do with football?

PristineCondition · 30/06/2019 17:15

Im german and never heard of it

Pogmella · 30/06/2019 17:17

I think he has Jewish family

Wellmet · 30/06/2019 17:19

Jesus Christ, just why do people consider that a song?
I teach 9 year olds, and even the ones who struggle with writing would not hand in a poem that badly written (offensive language aside)

nicecuppaforme · 30/06/2019 17:20

I think your question should be "why is my son learning this utter drivel?"

MeltedCrayons · 30/06/2019 17:22

Well obviously it isn't the only concerning bit of the song, but sexual references are fairly standard these days - although this takes it to another level!.

The Germany bit just stood out for some reason.

Not gonna watch the video! Grin Not into music videos in general and can't remember the last time I watched one!

@Pogmella so? It's not his place to claim forgiveness for a generation slaughtered.

MeltedCrayons · 30/06/2019 17:24

@nicecuppaforme He enjoys figuring out the music by ear He learns all types of songs and knows most of the top songs currently.

Pogmella · 30/06/2019 17:33

@Bobbiepin no it’s still odd but less random

MeltedCrayons · 30/06/2019 22:37

@Pogmella Ah I didn't know that. hmm.
