Stripped (4:43)

“Stripped” is a single by the German industrial metal band Rammstein. It is a cover of the Depeche Mode song. However, the song cut the lyric “Let me see you stripped down to the bone” to “Let me see you stripped.” (The lyric is restored in the Heavy Mental Mix by Charlie Clouser.) The song was originally on the tribute album, “For the Masses”. Depeche Mode is said to have liked the cover. It is unusual among Rammstein songs in that it is sung entirely in English.

The cover art is a drawing by Austrian artist Gottfried Helnwein.

The video includes nothing but footage from the film Olympia, directed by Leni Riefenstahl, which documented the 1936 Summer Olympics held in Berlin, which sparked controversy because they were held while Adolf Hitler was in office.
