Der Mussolini
Atrocity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
geh in die knie.
wackle mit den hueften.
klatsch in die haende.
und tanz den mussolini.
tanz den adolf hitler.
beweg deinen hintern.
English translate: The Mussolini
get up.
shake your hips.
clap your hands.
and dance the mussolini.
dance the adolf hitler.
move your ass.
and dance the jesus christ.
Atrocity's song "Der Mussolini" is a cover of the original song by D.A.F. The lyrics of the song are provocative, and there have been mixed reactions to the use of the names of some of history's most notorious leaders. The song begins with the command to get down on one's knees, followed by the instruction to shake hips, clap hands and then dance the Mussolini. Adolf Hitler and Jesus Christ are also mentioned in the subsequent lines, with the same instruction to dance.
The song is often interpreted as a sarcastic commentary on those who blindly follow leaders, whether they are political or religious. The use of Hitler and Mussolini's names in the song could suggest that they are being mocked and ridiculed. The inclusion of Jesus Christ in the same context as Hitler and Mussolini may signify a criticism of religious leaders who have similarly been blindly followed by their followers. The overall message of the song could therefore be a call to rise above blind obedience and think for oneself.
