Hey! This song is called "Schrei Nach Liebe" ("Cry for Love") and it's by Die Ärzte (the Doctors), a venerable punk rock band from Berlin. It's an anti-fascist anthem that makes the highly-nuanced argument that fascists are fascists because their mothers and/or girlfriends didn't love them enough. Clearly the Doctors are psychologists, amirite?
But seriously, it's pretty catchy and it's great for singing to yourself when you're trying to convince yourself to do something you don't want to do.
Speaking of fascists (smooth segue), check out this video.
It's worth noting that while 25,000 fascists sounds like a lot (and it's obviously 25,000 fascists too many), that's only about 0.03% of the German population. It's not like Germany is crawling with neo-nazis. Also, how clever are those t-shirts?
