Was hast du mit meinem Herz getan?

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"Was hast du mit meinem Herz getan?" is a song of Nicholas Lens's album Orrori dell’Amore.

To the surprise of many critics and music fans the song (a parody on over-romantic music) was used in a serious way by the German band Rammstein on its worldwide live concerts and raised to the status of rare cult songs.
