If I would translate the phonetic German of this song very freely in a German poem that makes sense, it would be something like this: Es bleibt mir im Hals stecken / Es geht mir unter die Haut / Aber du kannst mich am Arsch lecken / Streite nicht mit einem Deutschen, / wenn du müde bist / Ich mache so schnell ich kann / Aber ich bin von Mauern umgeben / Ja, das bin Ich / Ja, das bist du / Du, du bist Ich / Versuche mich zu verstehen |

I've known this song almost since its release, and despite the horribly incorrect German grammar and it's just being some kind of phonetic German, I, as a German, think I've got the general meaning of it. The song criticises something profound about the German mentality that is called dogmatism, stubbornness and at the same time Grace Slick expresses, that she isn't better than those Germans. Stuck in my throat: something makes you annoyed or impatient. Stuck my neck: you take a risk by saying or doing something that other people might not like. It's not so clear to me if she sings neck or throat. Stuck in my throat comes closer to a German idiom: If something seems ridiculous at first glance and you realise that it's a bad situation and you can't laugh because of the horror, then - they say - the laughter gets stuck in your throat. It's stuck in my throat (neck) (stuck my neck out) (stuck in my throat) / It's stuck in my skin (it gets under my skin) / I release my butt cheeks to relax my brain (Fuc*k me up the a**) / Don't argue with a German if you're tired / My car drives very fast / But it crashes into walls / Yes, that's me / Yes, that's you / You, you are me / try it |
