"Keine Lust" is a song by the German band Rammstein. It was released as a single on February 28, 2005 in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland as a maxi-single, a limited edition digipak single, and as a two-track. The title is a German phrase which might be translated as "No Desire", although the phrase as used in the lyrics "Ich habe keine Lust" is more like the English "I do not feel like" or "I do not want".

[edit] Video
The "Keine Lust" video, filmed in January of 2005 and finally presented only a month later, portrays the band with an incredible amount of gained weight. The film appears to be a reunion of sorts set much in the future with visibly aged band members. Out of all of the band members only keyboardist Flake appeared not to have gained any weight(because "anything he doesn't want to do, he doesn't do", which includes eating). He appears in a special motorized wheelchair for people who have trouble walking. At the end of the video, the rest of the band abandons Flake, after he arrives late, he gets off the motorized-chair and starts to walk, albeit in a strange manner. The video was up for a nomination for the MTV European Music Awards in November 2005
[edit] Meaning
On the video "The Making of Keine Lust", guitarist Richard Kruspe discussed the meaning of the song and video.

- "You know, after all of these years we're full-up! Fame, success, money. We don't want to do anything anymore! Nothing! That's the idea in the song. We've returned to the starting point again. We just want to make music again. We don't want all the circus that goes with it anymore. So, we meet up again, one more time, for one more performance- just to make music together. The fact that we are fat is just symbolic for excess. It's really just about returning to the beginning."
