"Du Hast" was the second single from Rammstein's second album, Sehnsucht (1997), and the title is the whole trick: in German, "du hast" (you have) and "du hasst" (you hate) sound exactly alike, and the song plays one against the other. A partly English version turned up on special editions of the album, with lyrics that don't simply translate the original.
Musically it's a pile driver, Till Lindemann barking over the machine-gun guitars of Richard Z. Kruspe and Paul Landers, Oliver Riedel's bass and Christoph Schneider's drums locked tight, and Christian Lorenz's keyboards buzzing through the cracks. Jacob Hellner and Bobo produced with the band. It turned up on the soundtracks of The Matrix, How High and CKY2K, and later in Guitar Hero 5 and Rock Band 3.
