That cute nazi with the amazing voice.. ... to the on air Dj,
The nazi song (the song reclaimed by the nazis/and neo nazis) was just played on your show. Though it's admittantly very beautiful, the fact that you just played this nazi song in France really freaked me out!! While you played the song I imagined a group of Frenchmen joining along while marching. . Why did you decide to play this song on the air? Thanks

Has that song actually been used by neo-Nazis? It was written for the musical play 'Cabaret' by the team of Kander and Ebb...it rhymes too well in English to be a translation from German,... Then again, anyone can appropriate anything (Robert Crumb was appalled when a couple of pages of his channelling his worst inner bigot were appropriated by some neo-Nazis who didn't get the joke, but that was kind of predictable.)

Out of phase is when the polarity of one of the channels - the sine wave - is upside down. It cancels the sound out if you are listening in mono. In stereo it just sounds funny.
