According to current consensus and WP:MUSIC a single is considered notable if it reaches No. 1 in a major country (this made No. 2). It has other claims to notability re the link with the cannibalism case, but there is little info here which is not covered elsewhere and on the album page, so I have redirected. Please come and talk to me at my talk page if you have a problem with that. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 15:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Grammy
There are numerous references to an "upcoming" Grammy award in 2004. Seeing as it's now 2006, does anyone konw the outcome? --zandperl 19:34, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Penis?
The Meiwes article mentioning the song makes an effort to explain that "Teil" is slang for "Penis" in German.
Yes, yes it is. But is it intended as such in the title? From personal experience the emphasis in the song doesn't imply that meaning but the more general "part of me". The word "Teil" isn't emphasized in the song, which, again, judging by my personal experience as a native speaker, it usually would be if it were intended to be the slang usage.
Any official answer? Otherwise the note should be removed or at least be generalised. — Ashmodai (talk · contribs) 03:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
- I guess that piece of information was taken from Herzeleid.com (not that it's automatically reliable source). I don't even really know German language (other than translations that I looked up), but once again according to the site, in the third line, "Weiche Teile" is a pun on "Weichteile", which means "genitals" in German. Combined with that, maybe "Teil" could be more strongly linked to the slang usage? Again, I have no clue what emphasis would be needed for the word to take up its slang sense, but from an outsider's view I would think it could be included reasonably as a possible implication.
