Wikipedia article
'"Kauf MICH!"' ('Buy ME!') is a song by Die Toten Hosen. It's the fourth single and the seventh track from the album 'Kauf MICH!'. The single cover is designed as a typical washing powder box.
The uniqueness of the song is, that lyrically narrator puts himself "on the market", coinciding with the theme of commercialism.
One of the b-sides, "Der heie Draht", is based on an idea of people calling and singing DTH songs over the phone. For the single, this was divided in three parts. On the re-release of 'Kauf MICH!', a best-of from these calls was made.
There is also an English version of the song, titled "Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is (Buy Me!)", which appeared on 'Love, Peace & Money'.
Music video
The video was directed by Hans Neleman. It features mostly touring footage.
