Opium (1984) | What Do You Know, Deutschland? (1986) | Don't Blow Your Top (1988) |
What Do You Know, Deutschland? is a 1986 album by KMFDM. Their second album, the music is relatively crude, with a strong drum beat and cheesy synthesizer. The title track is a lengthy montage attacking US involvement in Europe post World War II. The songs on this album are rarely played live, although Sascha has responded to crowds shouting "Itchy Bitchy" by saying the next line, and then ignoring it.
Originally released by Z Records in Germany in 1986, the album was re-released, with additional tracks but without "Conillon", in 1987 by SkySaw Records in the United Kingdom. In 1991, Wax Trax! Records released What Do You Know, Deutschland? in the United States without "Zip" but with the additional tracks "Lufthans" and "Itchy Bitchy (Dance Version)".
