Did Rammstein mean for the song Amerika to be a insult/mock of America or a comp!
Question: ^Question.
Good song either way though. I love pretty much every Rammstein song out there.

The entire song consists of sarcastic lyrics that act as a commentary of America and how it rules all other countries. "When we dance I want to lead" (translated) shows how America commands others to do the same as them.
The video goes along with the song lyrics and shows people from countries across the world, including Africa, India and the Antarctic, all interacting with American-made products. A boy takes off his Nike sneakers to pray, an Indian family crouch on the grass to watch TV and eat pizza. The most notable reference is the band themselves performing in space-suits and attempting to prop an American flag up on a set made up to resemble the moon. A clear reference at the infamous theory that the moon-landing was faked. (thanks, Jay - Reading, England, for above 2)
Part of the song is about how America does not care about things and they just pay people to make them happy. In the video, Africans and Indians, who often are considered poor and starving, are watching TV, eating pizza and drinking Coca-Cola. Also, the lyrics are about how money is used for entertainment rather than helping the poor: "Music is coming from the white house and Mickey Mouse is standing in front of Paris" (meaning Disneyland).
