Background

In this song Bushido uses single words that rhyme instead of complete sentences. Bushido confirmed in an interview that he wanted, besides twenty normal tracks, another track that sounde formed different. He also said that on paper, it doesn't make sense at first glance, but when people listen to it they will understand what's going on. The song was featured on his album Von der Skyline zum Bordstein zurück.

The single reached spot 15 in the German charts.[2]

Controversy

The line: "Doreen, Maskenmann, AIDS-Test: positiv" (German: "Doreen, Maskman, AIDS test: positive") mocks Doreen Steinert and Sido, who were a couple that time, with this line.[3] In an interview with Patrice Bouédibéla on MTV Urban, Bushido first denied it and said, that he meant the man in his video, who wears a Goofy mask, but then he admitted it by calling both, Steinert and Sido, as embarrassing.[4]

In the song, Bushido also took aim at Bass Sultan Hengzt and his label Amstaff Muzx, Raptile, Rapsoul and Curse.

Music video

The music video was directed by Hinrich Pflug and produced by Katapult.[5] It released on 20 October 2006 and premiered at MTV-TRL. The video was shot in a studio with a blue-screen background.

To produce a video that fit to the song lyrics, the shots were switched during Bushido's performance to the objects or persons which were mentioned; in addition, the background switches between the colours white and black. Eko Fresh and Baba Saad also made cameo appearances.

The language is completely case insensitive. If the running computer is from China, TrumpScript will not compile. We don't want them stealing our American technological secrets. By constructing a wall (providing the --Wall flag), TrumpScript will refuse to run on machines with Mexican locales Warns you if you have any Communists masquerading as legitimate "SSL Certificates" from China on your system. Won't run in root mode because America doesn't need your help being great. Trump is all we need. Easy to type with small handsIf you find you can't get any TrumpScript to run on your computer (probably because we disallow the two most popular operating systems), you can specify the --shut_up flag to let the interpreter know you just want your code to run, damn it.```
gollark: ```Our language includes several convenient features, perfect for any aspiring Presidential candidate including: No floating point numbers, only integers. America never does anything halfway. All numbers must be strictly greater than 1 million. The small stuff is inconsequential to us. There are no import statements allowed. All code has to be home-grown and American made. Instead of True and False, we have the keywords fact and lie. Only the most popular English words, Trump's favorite words, and current politician names can be used as variable names. Error messages are mostly quotes directly taken from Trump himself. All programs must end with America is great. Our language will automatically correct Forbes' $4.5B to $10B. In its raw form, TrumpScript is not compatible with Windows, because Trump isn't the type of guy to believe in PC.```
