The band first burst onto the German music scene in 2000 with their hip hop album "Bitte ziehen Sie durch".
"Noch fünf Minuten, Mutti" followed in 2002.
In 2005, Deichkind represented the German state Mecklenburg-West Pomerania in the Bundesvision Song Contest, a Eurovision Song Contest rip-off for German bands. They finished 14th from 15 entries.
MC Malte left the band in the summer of 2005, whereafter the group focused more on a style of music which they describe themselves as techrap (techno/rap).
In 2006 the album "Aufstand in Schlaraffenland" was released and Deichkind made a row of legendary performances at open air festivals in costumes fashioned out of duct tape, foil, flashing lights and inflatable toys. The song "Remmidemmi (Yippie! Yippie! Yeah!)" describes a house party that gets out of control and has become an urban hymn among German party-goers.
One of their most scandalous performances was at the Melt! festival in 2006 where the band spontaneously invited fans to join them on stage. Over 400 people jumped at the chance to party with the band to the song "Remmidemmi" (->youtube).
As of april 2008, Buddy has left the band to embark on a solo career and has been replaced by Ferris Hilton, perhaps better known as Ferris MC.
After the death of band member and producer Sebastian "Sebi" Hackert on Febuary 21st 2009, Deichkind was not sure if they will be able to continue working together. He died at the young age of 32.
But they came back in 2012 with a new release "Befehl Von Ganz Unten". Songs like "Leider Geil (Leider Geil)" und "Bück Dich Hoch" became german chart hits. 3 years later the band released their latest album "Niveau Weshalb Warum"
Bück dich hoch

The lyrics to "Bück dich hoch" by Deichkind revolve around the pressures of a capitalist society to constantly work hard and achieve success, often at the cost of physical and mental exhaustion. The song suggests that individuals must push themselves to the limit, work long hours and make sacrifices such as canceling vacations, to "steiger den profit" (increase profit) and make themselves valuable to their bosses. The lyrics make references to technological advances in communication and the need to be constantly available to work. The use of imperative verbs such as "halt die deadline ein," "hol die Ellenbogen raus," and "bück dich hoch," allude to how the pressure to work hard is constantly imposed on individuals.
The repetition of the phrase "bück dich hoch" throughout the song seems to be a nod to the Rammstein song "Bück dich," which also features the phrase. However, whereas Rammstein's song is about sexual submission, Deichkind's use of the phrase is more metaphorical, referring to bowing down to the pressure of a capitalist society. The songs' titles and chorus may be similar, but the meanings behind them are vastly different.
The lyrics of "Bück dich hoch" challenge the notion that corporate success is the ultimate goal by painting a picture of the physical and mental toll that this lifestyle takes on individuals. The use of repetition in the chorus drives home the idea that the pressure on individuals to work hard and make sacrifices is unrelenting.

Hold the deadline, yeah that's fine

Bend yourself, bend yourself, bend yourself up
Bend yourself, bend yourself, bend yourself up
Bend yourself, bend yourself, bend yourself up
Bend yourself up, yeah!
The boss needs this today, better now!
Bend yourself up,
Oh my god, bonus-check, it's already gone
Bend yourself up
Much overtime, totally normal!
Bend yourself up
Unpaid, screw it, got no choice
Bend yourself up
Click yourself, fax yourself, mail yourself up
grab yourself, squeeze yourself, suck yourself up,
kick yourself, box yourself, sleep yourself up,
bend yourself up.
[Chorus]
Bend yourself up! Come on raise the profit!
Bend yourself up! Or else you gonna be kicked out!
Bend yourself up! Endear yourself up to the boss!
Bend yourself up! Even if it bends yourself!
Bend yourself up! Come on raise the profit!
Bend yourself up! Or else you gonna be kicked out!
Bend yourself up! Endear yourself up to the boss!
Bend yourself up! Even if it bends yourself!
This weekend, pitch, are you in?
Bend yourself up

Adjust yourself, you're nothing, believe in the team
Bend yourself up

Bend yourself up
Exhausted, hosed, replaced
Bend yourself up
Come on, go the extra mile in the meeting
Bend yourself up
Yoga-class, canceled, give it all!

Is there no work, who cares, play act
Bend yourself up
Click yourself, fax yourself, mail yourself up

kick yourself, box yourself, sleep yourself up,
bend yourself up.
[Chorus]
Bitch yourself, bitch yourself, smile yourself, push yourself,

You need competition, no fans
Do your fucking job, till the end
Take Donald Trump for example
What's wrong with you, pull yourself together, muck in!
With pleasure you give your dedication to the ones above
Bend yourself up!63
Present your holiday to the concern!
Bend yourself up!
Take big draft of pressure to perform
Bend yourself up!
