Kassengift
''Kassengift'' (Box-office poison) is the seventh studio album by German pop duo Rosenstolz, released in 2000 by Polydor Records. The album was the first Rosenstolz album to reach No. 1 in the German albums chart and includes "Amo Vitam", a song sung entirely in Latin that reached the top 20 of the German singles chart.
== Composition ==
The title song of ''Kassengift'' is about the music business.〔Putz, Ulrike. (""Ich liebe Kitsch und hasse Ordnung"" ) (in German). ''Berliner Zeitung''. 6 September 2000.〕 In an interview, musician Peter Plate of Rosenstolz stated that the word ''Kassengift'' was taken from the biography of German actress Marlene Dietrich, where it was used to describe the actress during her period of lack of commercial success (box-office poison). He added that the song reflected Rosenstolz's own experiences, with the band being ignored by the media despite achieving sell-out concerts and significant album sales.〔Tschernek, Michael. (""Medial gibt's uns nicht"" ) (in German). ''taz.de''. 9 March 2001.〕 The song includes the lines "''Ich bin der Song, der nie gespielt wird / Ich bin das Video, das nicht läuft''" ("I am the song which is never played / I am the video which does not get shown").〔Heier, Erik. ("Siegeszug der Schlampen" ) (in German). ''Die Welt''. 16 September 2000.〕
Other songs of the album are of a private nature. The song "Achterbahn" was written by Plate following a state of panic in his flat which caused him to shout "''Ich kann nicht mehr! Ich will nicht mehr!''" ("I can't go on any longer! I want to end it all!"). These words are sung at the start of the song.〔("Rosenstolz im Interview: "Wir führen ein Pop-Leben"" ) (in German). ''Der Tagesspiegel''. 14 September 2000.〕 Another song, "Amo Vitam", initially contained the lines "''Ich liebe das Leben, ich liebe den Sex, doch warum bin ich einsam?''" ("I love life, I love sex, but why am I lonely?"). The lines, written by Plate, were translated into Latin for the final produced song by a friend with the help of his former Latin teacher.〔 Latin was used because Plate felt that the language sounded very dramatic.〔("Rosenstolz" ) (in German). ''Berliner Kurier''. 17 August 2000.〕
The album also includes the cover song "Total Eclipse", which was originally sung by German singer Klaus Nomi. Plate and singer AnNa R. of Rosenstolz discovered that they were both fans of Nomi when they first met, and since the formation of their band, they had talked about recording a cover version of "Total Eclipse".〔
