The decreasing interest in the study of foreign languages forces us to reconsider and re‐evaluate new teaching methods and approaches. Nevertheless, the use of music, in particular modern or pop music, for interdisciplinary studies and students' language skills appears to be still neglected. I claim that the lyrics and music of the popular group Rammstein deal with classical German literature and music and therefore should be added to the curriculum. Based on personal teaching experiences while teaching German for a couple of years at both high‐school and university level I will provide insight into some aspects dealing with Rammstein in the classroom.
