Yes, indeed.

I love this song! “Coca-Cola... sometimes war”

I think its a very good song in fact, with a more sublime style than most Rammstein songs. But as little as its a love song, its an anti American tirade as is sometimes claimed. It is a justified and good approach in my eyes, because if you look at it, it does not claim that the US is imperialist, it shows how in fact, how people all over the world "are America" voluntarily, and the US is just taking this chance as much as it can.

Wow… I’ve never seen that before… It's got a good beat. and no I’ve never heard of ‘Laibach’.

Its a weird band probably, as its not a real band but just a part of a "collective" that names itself "Neue Slowenische Kunst". Laibach is just its musical facade of that arts collective that does also other stuff. It has been founded when Slovenia was still part of Yugoslavia under communist rule, but already back then provoked quite much. I mean those names above like Laibach and Neue Slowenische Kunst are German, and I did not translate them, they are also used by them like this. Moreover "Laibach" is the old Austrian name for what is now the capital of Slovenia and in its own language called Ljubljana. The old Austrian name was a taboo under communist rule.
They also have a song called Slovania. I am not sure what the message should be there, but you never can be with this band. But its definitely political as well.
I think it suggests some form of Panslavism... but if its a true Laibach song it means everything and nothing at the same time
