Oh, yes! I am very familiar with the lyrics meaning, as I am so of the 90's. High school, German lyrics, and the hilariousness of this song were an impeccable combination. However, the language breakdown from you is something with which I had no experience. So thank you!

[hinroiasouth]

I had a German foreign exchange student translate the song in class shortly after the album dropped. He instantly became a TOOL fan after that.

[missimccarthy]

I'm actually quite proud of myself for understanding the lyrics. German is such a beautiful language, I love trying to learn it

[emijayne]

I'm only a bit of a casual Tool fan, but as a German language nerd I can't believe I didn't know about this song! 😂 So funny, great video 🤘💚

[jessicakraml]

I have always loved this track. It freaks out people who don’t know the lyrics. lol

[JoelKotarski]

Thanks for making this. I was very curious about this and happened to be in Amsterdam staying with two girls for the 2000 NYE party and asked one of them who knew German to translate it for me. I was cracking up. I've shared your video because it helps unravel the puzzle slowly like I got to experience as she translated line by line as I sat there. Thanks!

I'm an American of some German Ancestry. I've always been fascinated with German History, but sadly have never gotten serious about learning the language. "Bucket List" unchecked. Also a fan of TOOL. Great video

[RobZillaAK]

Good video Dave, I knew the translation since i speak GI German but your grammatical detail was insightful. It’s always a lot of fun to crank this song in your car with a non-German speaker and sing along.

[huenersh]

Deine Analyse ist so genial. When it comes to Tool, I’m alone. Ich kenne keine Person, mit der ich mich über Tool austauschen kann, nur online. 😵

[ArcticWolf]

Already knew the meaning of the German lyrics Maynard sang. Very good break down of the song, friend. Schatz.

[bryanbokser]

I love how heavy the song actually sounds, and its a cookie recipe

[SiriusMined]

I've known about it for a long time. It's one of the things that actually prompted me to get interested in learning the German language

[fedupwithem]

I've been listening to this for more than 20 years and never had any idea...

[masshole-inRI]

The first time I played this song to my German friends they were very confused as it sounded so militant but was just a recipe for hash cookies. I didn’t know at the time and that’s why I played it so they could translate it to me. Tool is genius…..

[JanKowalski-rdyb]

Hey, I know I'm a bit late, but I was just reviewing "Tool reaction videos" and though I'm going to drop my two cents...
But firstly, I'm polish, I speak english and german (though it's far from perfect) and I actually work in Germany. Tool is also one of my favorite bands (if not THE favorite).

Anyway, just wanted to say, that this song's lyrics are even MORE hilarious to Poles!
So, we know that german plural "die Eier" can be translated to english as "eggs" OR "balls". It also translates to polish "jaja" (pronounced: ya:ya).
In polish, plural "jaja" can mean not only "eggs" and "balls", but may also mean something extremely funny, hilarious.
Polish "robić sobie jaja" means: joking, kidding, pulling one's leg, pranking. Phrase "Ale jaja!" can be translated as "Damn, that's hilarious!"

I wonder if MJK has some polish and/or german friends, because well...this song IS a prank, isn't it?
Additionally, the title of the song gets the new meaning for Poles (who know german language), because yes, it's grammatically incorrect, but a Pole may read it as "Making jokes of Satan".
And it actually fits perfectly, since to people, who don't speak german it sounds like some horrible, ominous, satanic curses, while in fact it's just a recipe for cookies...😆

Also: Maynard's "und keine Eier!" to polish people may sound almost like "hey, take this SERIOUSLY!"🤣

[InVinoVeritas]

Danke, from America. Great song, and really cool to get a German perspective on it.
I may have to try out this recipe sometime. Although it seems like not enough hash is used.

[DMTInfinity]

I can't recall anything you said in German... But wow... What a beautiful language...

[jwtg]

Hey Dave, This not intended to be offencive . Your English is very precise and correct I just thought I'd throw this in for what it's worth. The English word flour is pronounced the same as the word flower. You were close on the word marihuana, mar. i ( short i as in it ) the h gets a w sound for some reason .uana. Alternative spelling mar.i.juan.a, juan like the Spanish word for John, and now you know. John W.

[LuxLuminous]

HA! Ya, I already knew what this song was about. Thank you for reminding me of it. I plan on having a Tool listening party at my house, for the new album launch. I now have a great idea to make these cookies for the party snacks ;)
