"Mann gegen Mann"
Song

"Mann gegen Mann" (German for "Man against man" or "Head-to-head") is the 3rd single from the Rammstein album, Rosenrot. The song is about the benefits of homosexuality, however all band members are heterosexual [1]. The band members noted the ease of which gay people meet each other whereas heterosexual couple have to go through all the usual dating rituals. The song is critical of societies close minded attitude towards homosexuality. This song will be the third single from Rosenrot. Till repeatedly screams "Schwuler" in the background, meaning homosexual man in German.

The video

The video premiered on 02/02/06 on MTV Germany and was directed by Jonas Åkerlund. In it, the entire band aside from Till plays totally naked with only their instruments to cover them up. As Till only has a microphone, he wore a "latex diaper" (according to Paul in an interview) as well as a long, black wig. The video alternates between shots of the band playing and a teeming mass of naked men. Towards the end, the band crowd surfs over the naked men and Till rips his hair out and morphs into the "demon" that can be seen on the cover.
