Talk:Dalai Lama (song)

I added the last line of the song to the quotation, minus the "und singt" that links into the chorus, a) because leaving it out leaves the rhyme scheme dangling and b) because the previous paragraph refers to the last line. 194.216.55.225

Dalai Lama was named so due to many reasons: 1- The Dalai Lama is one of the celebreties who suffer "aerophobia" or fear of flight. The title work of the song was "Flugangst" which the German equivelant to "Fear of flight". 2- Rammstein used the "Delay Lama" effect while mixing the song. Perhaps it played a factor when they selecting a name for their song.

Notability

As much as I like it, is this song notable enough to have its own article? --81.129.40.187 00:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly found it useful, i'm an on-again off-again rammstein fan with a little knowledge of german and i found the more detailed translation then i was able to make out quite interesting. I dont know if one would generally consider it noteworthy, but given the number of english fans of rammstein and their limited understanding of german, i think it would be a shame to loose it.

Alex Chilton?

There's also a song called "Dalai Lama" by Alex Chilton, from his album High Priest.--Theodore Kloba 02:00, 21 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prod removal

I removed the prod for this as it does not seem undisputable, Rammstein is a relatively major band. That being said, this is not one of their more popular songs to my knowledge, but if to be deleted a full discussion should take place on a regular AfD request. Of course, the article could use a lot of work if it's to stay. Seraphimblade 06:42, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
