I don't understand German, but I sort of understand the worlds "das" and "klein," since das is an article (AFAIK) and klein is the name of my trig teacher in high school.

"Du Hast" means "You Hate," I think. That about sums up the amount of German that I've learned from Rammstein. (I think that Engle might mean Angel, but whatever.) Some German kid in high school claimed that Bumssin Das Hund meant **** The Dog, but it's difficult to confirm this since I don't know how Bummsin is spelled. (or spelt, whatever.)

"Mare = Mayor" is from a cartoon?

Yes, Engel == Angel. Feuerrader = Fire Wheels too.

Du HaBt mean you hate
Du Hast means you have

Which is funny because when I saw the video on TV they spelled it Du Hast. Which sort of circumvents meaning of song.

It is funny. Then again, in my current state I find almost anything funny. Except MrFun's jokes. But that would probably go without saying.

Stop by the Armpit of the Midwest while you're at it.

And yeah, Poly needs humorless people too, otherwise there wouldn't be anybody to believe my lies.

I would love to meet most Poly'ites. At my current job though, I would be lucky to make enough for the cab fare to the airport, let alone a plane ticket to another country. Alas.

Not quite sure how to spell it either, but yeah that's about the gist of it (think it's bumsen. but they didn't teach slang in school).

But it is pronounced the same way. The lyrics play on the ambiguity.

Du hast
Du hast
Du hast mich gefragt
Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt

You hate/have
You hate/have
You have asked me
You have asked me and I said nothing

Funny how english-speakers try to understand Rammstein Lyrics. Its even difficult for germans to understand in every song what is really meant. Du hast is rather easy.
Its just some simple words play. The first lines say
Du hast (haßt) which is repeated several times, later with an aditional "mich" Which would translate to "You hate (me)". But later they make the complete sentence: "Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nichts gesagt". which means: " You have asked me and I sayed nothing".

But the cool part of the song is coming later with the refrain "Willst Du bis der Tod Euch scheidet treu sein für alle Tage?" ... "Nein! NEIN!"

The gay flag is rainbow colored.

They use it to identify themselves and show gay pride. They'll often put a rainbow sticker on their cars.
