Live performance and controversy
When performing it live, vocalist Till Lindemann has simulated anal sex with keyboardist Christian Lorenz using a water-squirting dildo.[1]
Due to the controversial nature of the act, Lindemann and Lorenz were both arrested after a concert held on June 5, 1999 in Worcester, Massachusetts.[2][3] They were each fined $200 and spent the night in jail. Consequently, three versions of Rammstein's Live aus Berlin were released - one VHS including "Bück dich", another VHS and DVD without it and the uncensored DVD including the song.[4]
Comeback
The song made a comeback in the Made in Germany 1995–2011 tour. It was also performed in Worcester again, without any incidents.[1] Footage of the original concert was also rereleased in the 2024 edition of concert DVD Live aus Berlin after previously being censored.[5][6]
