About Geschwisterliebe

"Geschwisterliebe" (Sibling love) is a controversial song by German punk band Die Ärzte from the album Die Ärzte. It deals with incest and was added to the German List of Media Harmful to Young People in 1987 and is still in the index. The song follows an incident between a boy and his 14-year-old sister, where they are left alone by the parents and then engage in intercourse; it is also implied that this will be repeated from another position. Farin Urlaub, who wrote this song, thanks his younger half-sister ironically in the booklet of the album, "for her super sibling love". According to Urlaub, he wrote the song at age 15, in 1979. The song however, was not released until 1986, on the self-titled album Die Ärzte. The song had been a part of their concert setlists for a long time and since "Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund", a song about zoophilia, released on Debil, made it without being put on the index, it was decided that "Geschwisterliebe" would be released. The album was, however, indexed due to a complaint from a mother on 27 January 1987, because of this song - it was decided that this song encouraged sex between siblings. This also led to Debil's being indexed due to the songs "Claudia hat 'nen Schäferhund" (Claudia has a German shepherd) and "Schlaflied" (Lullaby, about a monster eating you gruesomely after you fall asleep).

Wir haben zusammen im Sandkasten gesessen 
Beim Doktorspielen wollt ich nur dein Fieber messen 
Jetzt bist du 14 und du bist so weit 
Wir warten eine Ewigkeit 
Sind unsere Eltern auch dagegen 
Ich würd' dich gerne mal flach legen 

Ich hoffe dass du keine Kinder kriegst 
Weil du doch schließlich meine Schwester bist 
Die Eltern die sind weggefahren 
Auf die Gelegenheit warte ich seit 14 Jahren 
Noch sitzen wir hier und spielen Schach 
Aber gleich leg ich dich flach 

Der große Augenblick ist da 
Ich liege auf dir und du schreist ja
Du bist so eng das macht mich geil 
Und morgen nehme ich dein Hinterteil 
Noch Stunden später bist du sehr erregt 
Ich hab dich schließlich gerad' flach gelegt 

Das befriedigt meine Triebe 
Geschwisterliebe, Geschwisterliebe 
Das befriedigt meine Triebe 
Geschwisterliebe, Geschwisterliebe 
Das befriedigt meine Triebe 
Geschwisterliebe, Geschwisterliebe
