1. A ska punk band from Germany
2. A psychobilly band.
1. The German ska punk band was founded by Meissner and Bustorff in autumn 1995 modelled on Bands like Operation Ivy and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. They immediately decided to sing only in German because Bustorffs English was not that good and he had problems pronouncing the "th". Shortly before that Schottstedt and Meissner played in a Hardcore-Band which kind of emulated the New York style of some bands (like Pantera) at that time. They basically had a yelling singer and some hard guitars. There were other bands like Pitbull, Bullterrier and many more which all named themselves after "aggressive" dogs. To show that this band would be something different the name "Rantanplan" was selected, after the dog from Lucky Luke, which is "sillier than his shadow" and is mostly thinking about getting food.

The lyrics in Rantanplan's song "Deutschland du Opfer gib Handy" describe the struggles and frustrations of modern society and how technology has affected human interaction. The first few lines highlight the disconnect between people, even if they are familiar with each other. The act of shaking hands becomes obsolete when people are too busy staring at their phones. The lyrics go on to describe the trap that people are caught in between their desires and rationality. The chorus then addresses Germany as the victim, being sacrificed to technology and the pressures of modern society.
The song seems to be a commentary on how technology has impacted personal relationships and our ability to connect with one another. The use of the term "Opfer" or victim, suggests that Germany, and perhaps society as a whole, has been affected negatively by the widespread use of technology. The lyrics also suggest that even familiar relationships have become disrupted by the use of technology, which has created a disconnect between people.
Overall, the lyrics to "Deutschland du Opfer gib Handy" is a warning about the social consequences of widespread smartphone use. The song emphasizes the importance of human connection and the need to maintain meaningful relationships in spite of the distractions of the digital world.

Liegt das an der Aufnahme, oder versteht man auf den Alben auch kein Wort von dem Gesang?
