* ''Das Deutschlandlied'', better known as ''Deutschland Über Alles'', whose first line translates "Germany over all", is assumed to refer to the goal of Germany to TakeOverTheWorld. In truth, the song was written by a nineteenth-century ''liberal'', who wanted Germans to put aside petty provincial distinctions (such as being Prussian, Bavarian, or Austrian), eschew the [[AllTheLittleGermanies divisive and reactionary petty states]], and think of themselves as united Germans above all else. He was, in fact, expressing a desire for German unity, not domination. The third stanza is today's national anthem of Germany (its first line is "Unity and Justice and Freedom", which sounds way more peaceful).
** Also, the "Deutschlandlied" was intended to be sung as a ''drinking song'' for politically-minded men at beer gardens and suchlike; the second verse (which hardly anyone sings anymore) is a celebration of "German women, German loyalty, German wine, and German song", and the original writer included an alternate chorus for the third verse that calls for a toast!
