Wikipedia article
"'Seemann'" ("Seaman"/"Sailor") is a song by German band Rammstein, released as the second single from their album 'Herzeleid'.
The video shows Christoph Schneider, Oliver Riedel, Paul Landers and Richard Kruspe pulling a boat through the sand, with Till Lindemann and Flake, who's wearing a plague doctor mask, inside. Later, they decide to keelhaul Lindemann, still singing. The boat winds up in flames. The video is intertwined with shots of a woman, alternately dressed in a white robe and black clothing.

Live performances
The first known performance of the song is from the New Year's Eve 19941995 concert in Saalfeld, Germany. In the 'Sehnsucht' tour, during this song, Flake usually sat in a small inflatable boat and sailed over the crowd who waves and bring the boat back to the stage after a short tour. This stunt is now performed in "Auslnder" instead of Seemann.
Never played in the 'Mutter' or 'Reise, Reise' tours, "Seemann" was probably last played on 23 June 1999 in Los Angeles, California. Ten years later the song returned only on a few concerts during the 'Liebe ist fr alle da Tour'. Seemann returned as a constant song for the 'Festival Tour' of 2016 and 2017.
Cover versions
"Seemann" was covered by Finnish cello metal band Apocalyptica and featured Nina Hagen on the band's album, 'Reflections'. It was released as a single on 6 October 2003. It was mixed and recorded by Mikko Raita. The song was also covered by Rummelsnuff along with a music clip.
