Check out the wikipedia page for 'Sonne': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sonne_(song)
Written for the boxer but too heavy to be used. Apparently it was playing in the background while some were watching Snow White (ever watched cartoons with music playing in the background - when they seem to sync up it's really cool) one of the members allegedly did some video editing of Snow White to do a rough music video - they stuck with the idea (rejecting many many other video ideas) and did the super awesome Snow White one properly. Yes, the Hiroshima theme possibility did come up and the lyrics did fit rather well. Rammstein LOVE wordplay (but mostly German speaking folk would understand their double entendres and other poetic manipulations), so there are so many themes that your mind can manipulate the lyrics to fit. Snow White - the bright, glittering queen that the dwarves love, worship, would do anything for...Hiroshima - 'Here comes the sun' boom! Light cooking everything and everyone, be afraid-don't be afraid, the sun that doesn't set at night.....so on and so on...
