A friend sent me this link to a video.
Can anyone help me identify the song playing in the background (Song name, Band.)
I just found it very catchy and want to figure out the lyrics.

I didn't feel like pursuing it further !
Neo-nazi?
I'll not bother, then.

It may have been adopted rather than intended.

LATER COMMENT: This little exercise taught me a couple of things about emotional forces within myself and others.
That's what happens when you listen to music without understanding the lyrics contained within.
Fedral,
No...I half understood the lyrics.
What I noticed was that the association of the music with pernicious political movements temporarily suspended my enquiry on emotional grounds. The Wikpedia article highlights the description of this band's output as "Music to invade Poland by" and describes its adoption by elements of the "mindless right," thereby warning us of the simplicity by which primal forces can be mobilized by music or oratory. Emotionality swamps rationality.
I would say therefore say your description "catchy" was a bit of an understatement .!
Actually, the lyrics are neither neo-nazi-associated nor about invading Poland or similar:
translation.
However, it's quite interesting how to get a neo-nazi site as first searcg result - I could that "learning German" website ... using google-UK :wink:
As I said, I was caught by the rhythm of the piece and it's musical tones.
In my misspent youth, I was very into Heavy Metal (Blue Oyster Cult, Black Sabbath, etc.)
Even though this song was totally different, it put me in mind of those bands in its originality.
As to it being 'catchy', I have to admit that the beat caught me.
I don't really care what group has claimed it as it's own, I take songs on their own merits, not the use someone choses to put it.
