Captain Feral, you're German, and you translate "und ich hab' nichts gesagt" as "and I did not obey"? The English translation is completely wrong and it's been written wrongly simply so English people would get the main gist of it without losing rhyme. Apparently rhyme is more important than the whole meaning of the song, which I don't agree with, but hey, not my song. Patronise, the word is 'hast', no question about it. Their song is called "Du Hast", are we all to assume Rammstein just can't spell?
Why are you arguing? It's a play on words. Doesn't work in English because English isn't German. I'd have thought any idiot could work that out. Hast and hasst sound the same in German. Hate and have don't sound the same in English. We can't reproduce the pun, but why are you finding it so hard to UNDERSTAND it? The point is that we assume it says 'you hate me' until Till throws another verb at us, then we realise it's 'du hast', not 'du hasst'.
