Die Toten Hosen (lit. "The Dead Trousers") are a German punk band from Düsseldorf formed in 1982. Their name comes from a slang term ("tote Hose") for nothing going on (based on an euphemism for male impotence), which was their opinion on the German music scene at the time. Through the years, they've been one of Germany's most successful acts, and with 15 studio albums to date, also one of the most prolific. The band members are most known by their stage names: Campino, Kuddel, Andi, Breiti, and Vom Ritchie (singer, melody guitarist, bassist, rhythm guitarist, and drummer, respectively). The former drummer, Wolfgang "Wölli" Rodhe, left the band due to injuries. The studio discography in chronological order is as follows: 1983: Opel-Gang 1984: Unter falscher Flagge ("Under false flag") 1986: Damenwahl ("Ladies' Choice") 1987: Never Mind the Hosen, Here's Die Roten Rosen 1988: Ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau ("A little bit of horrorshow") 1990: Auf dem Kreuzzug ins Glück ("On the crusade to happiness") 1991: Learning English Lesson 1 1993: Kauf MICH! ("Buy ME!") 1994: Love, Peace & Money note Compilation that holds many songs set to English, as well as some new English titles. 1996: Opium fürs Volk ("Opium for the people" note This is the saying by Lenin. The original saying by Karl Marx is "Opium des Volkes" ("Opium of the people")) 1998: Wir warten auf's Christkind …note "Das Christkind" is the figure alleged to bring Christmas gift in much of Germany, so the title can be understood as "waiting for Christmas (gifts)" ("Waiting for Baby Jesus") 1999: Crash-Landing note Another compilation that holds many songs set to English, as well as some new English titles. 1999: Unsterblich ("Immortal") 2002: Auswärtsspiel ("Away game") 2004: Zurück zum Glück ("Back to happiness/fortune/luck") 2008: In aller Stille ("In complete silence") 2012: Ballast der Republik ("Dead weight/Burdens of the Republic"note Pun on Palast der Republik (Palace of the Republic), the parliament building of communist East Germany; the album was released on the 30th anniversary of the founding of the band and makes a bit of a resume of said 30 years, including the fall of the Iron Curtain.) 2017: Laune der Natur ("Freak of Nature")While some of their songs are irreverent and just for fun, a lot of them have political and social messages contained. Most often you will find songs decrying racism, xenophobia, corruption, and blind religious faith. The album Opium fürs Volk (Opium for the People) features heavy criticism of the Ten Commandments and the idea of paradise especially. Several of their songs also touch on more sensitive topics, often in order to bring more attention to a particular issue - with their fanbase, it can have quite an effect. Quite a few songs also deal with the personal lives of Campino & Co. note "Nur zu Besuch" (Just visiting) is a trip to the graveyard for Campino's mother, "Draußen vor der Tür" (Outside, in front of the door) is about making peace with one's father, and "Das ist der Moment" (This is the moment) makes references to their own children, and the band's evolution from their rebellious roots to their current lives. Especially the stance on religion of the band has notably softened by the time Auswärtsspiel was released, but it still holds a humorous/sarcastic edge to it.They're also very popular in South America for some reason, though given how much that region loves its rock music, this should come as no real surprise. | |

Feeling Their Age: A good deal of Laune der Natur is about getting older (Wieviel Jahre – Hasta La Muerte goes through three different birthdays of Breiti) and mortality. | |

Guttural Growler | |
| Die Toten Hosen (Music) / int_40582f4b | comment |
Guttural Growler: Campino. His voice is a distinctly smoky, raspy low Tenor/high Baritone due to an injury that scarred his vocal cords early in the band's existence. | |

Drunken Song | |
| Die Toten Hosen (Music) / int_4ba070fd | comment |
Drunken Song: Auld Lang Syne is this as well. Also "Still, Still, Still" (Quiet, Quiet, Quiet). Mercilessly parodied in their version of Advent/Christmas song "Leise rieselt der Schnee" (Snow is falling quietly), with the band mimicking being high on cocainenote which, in German slang, is called Schnee (snow). And in "Ihr Kinderlein Kommet" (Oh, come, little children), they mimic being stoned with marihuana, even referencing the drug in the lyrics. | |

Ode to Intoxication | |
| Die Toten Hosen (Music) / int_6b0e4d09 | comment |
Drinking Song: Zehn Kleine Jägermeister, Auld Lang Syne (with all verses) and Eisgekühlter Bommerlunder among them. Bonus to "Bommerlunder" in their Polish version … which sings about one of the most expensive Vodka in the world, Wyborowa, and its video being set to a Polish wedding. Drunken Song: Auld Lang Syne is this as well. Also "Still, Still, Still" (Quiet, Quiet, Quiet). Mercilessly parodied in their version of Advent/Christmas song "Leise rieselt der Schnee" (Snow is falling quietly), with the band mimicking being high on cocainenote which, in German slang, is called Schnee (snow).

Due to the Dead | |
| Die Toten Hosen (Music) / int_a679184b | comment |
Due to the Dead: A surprising number of songs on mortality and death are found on Laune der Natur; specifically, "Alles passiert" (Everything happens), "Eine Handvoll Erde" (A Fistful of Earth; a funeral song), "ICE Nach Düsseldorf" (Express train to Düsseldorf) and "Kein Grund zur Traurigkeit" (No Reason for Sadness). "Kein Grund zur Traurigkeit" is a literal Due to the Dead: Wölli died in 2016. Feeling Their Age: A good deal of Laune der Natur is about getting older (Wieviel Jahre – Hasta La Muerte goes through three different birthdays of Breiti) and mortality. | |

My Country, Right or Wrong: Somewhat of an example with "1000 Gute Gründe" which mentions many reasons Germany is great, but ends with them unable to really think of one at that particular moment. | |

Long-Runner Line-up | |
| Die Toten Hosen (Music) / int_e115dd80 | comment |
Long-Runner Line-up: They have pretty much run the same lineup since 1983 (founded 1982, their original guitarist got the boot because of drugs), with the only position changing hands in all these years being that of the drummer for various reasons: Trini Trimpop sat behind the set from their first concert to 1985, was replaced by Jakob Keusen for a time, who then subsequently was replaced by Wolfgang "Wölli" Rhode in 1986 (Keusen was part of another band). The latter-most gave up the position in 1999 due to health problems and took over management of the band, with his replacement being the band's current drummer Vom Ritchie. | |

| Die Toten Hosen (Music) / int_e7022a49 | comment |
Talking to the Dead: "Nur zu Besuch" (Just visiting) and "Draußen vor der Tür" (Outside, in front of the door) are this, being respectively for Campino's mother and father."Letzte Wache" (Final Guard) also counts, as the Protagonist talks to a deceased person right as they lie on their Deathbed. | |
