Listen To A Previously Unreleased English Version Of Rammstein's Pussy
Here's an early demo of Rammstein's 2009 hit Pussy sung entirely in English. It's certainly different to the finished version...
Even those with just a passing interest in Rammstein know their song Pussy. You know, it's the one with Jonas Åkerlund's pornographic video (you can find a blurred-out version on YouTube) and the single artwork depicting the band as naked women. The one with the chorus of 'You've got a pussy, I have a dick.' Yes, that one.
And while those English lyrics are played for laughs in the German industrialists' satirical ode to sex tourism, this recently unearthed demo finds an entirely-English version of the song that manages to sound, well, even more pervy than the final product.

Suddenly hearing the words in the cold light of day – against a sonic backdrop that would eventually be repurposed for their 2012 B-side Gib mir deine Augen – frontman Till Lindemann's whispering about his willy just isn't as fun. Pussy hit #1 in the German charts when it was released, and it's hard to imagine this version being the monster hit we know today, being laughed at for all the wrong reasons.
But if you want to know what could have been, listen to the English language version of Pussy – aka Panterra Pussy – below.
