Addition: The Song adresses mostly the time around the Weimar Republic, which is clearly shown by the Tschakos of the Police and the Undergarments of the women and of course the wardrobe in general. The music, especially the use of synthesizers in this song, is reminiscent of Kraftwerk, who are widely considered innovators and pioneers of electronic music. The video depicts the band dressed up in tuxedos (with the notable exception of bassist Oliver Riedel who wears a black turtleneck sweater and performs barefoot) at a radio performance set roughly in the 1930sand later in the 1960s. During the final chorus the performance is set to be shut down by a police squad but it is revealed that the band members are holograms and thus unaffected by the use of violent force. The performance scenes are intercut with scenes of citizens being obsessed with their radios to a manic degree as well as riots demanding free and open airwaves, echoing the lyrical themes of the song.
