content
The song was recorded in German with a strong Austrian dialect and is a satirical attack on the Russian head of state Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin and his Ukraine policy. The band itself explains, however, that it is not only directed against the politician alone, but also a criticism of the desire of strong leaders in the population . This is expressed in the refrain, which also refers to Angela Merkel and Barack Obama :
The Germans haum de Mutti and de Russn the Putin,
and the A-merikana the Barack Obama, they
are like tears from sheer emotion.
Because most people - want a strong leadership!
distribution
The video was published on YouTube in December 2014 without much attention.

On February 28, 2015, Google banned the original video on YouTube on the grounds that it violated YouTube's spam, fraud, and misleading advertising policy.
