Du hast den Farbfilm vergessen" (translation: You Forgot The Color Film) is a pop single written by Michael Heubach (music) and Kurt Demmler (lyrics). It was first performed by German punk artist Nina Hagen and her band Automobil (of which Heubach was the keyboardist), released in 1974 prior to Hagen's punk career. The song depicts a young girl scolding her boyfriend for forgetting to bring the color film for their camera while on vacation. The song reached the top of the East German music charts in 1974, and 40th place in the 1975 full-year charts. In 2003, it was reported that around 40 percent of East Germans could sing the song's lyrics, and in 2021, German Chancellor Angela Merkel requested that the Staff Band of the Bundeswehr play the song at the event marking the end of her 16-year tenure in office.
