If footballers had their own entry music

6. Mats Hummels – Du Hast by Rammstein (Sehsucht, 1997)

Mats Hummels, more than anyone else in German football, typifies everything about the current generation of German players. His technical supremacy, cool head, physical robustness and inclination to play with a natural flair makes him the best poster boy for the German national team.

As has Rammstein taken over the mantle of representing German music and bringing their musical tradition to the world’s mainstream pop culture. Other than Scorpions, Rammstein are the most globally acclaimed German rock-and-roll band. They make music which appeals to people from everywhere, yet they mainly use German lyrics for their songs.
