"Bitte bitte" ("Bitte, bitte" on CD) ["Please please"] is a song by German band Die Ärzte. It is the eleventh track and the third single from their 1988 album Das ist nicht die ganze Wahrheit.... The song focuses on a desire to obey a dominatrix.

Video

The video centers on a dystopia-like censoring facility (resemblant of a factory), which is ruled by a dominatrix. As for the products censored, everything appears to be running smoothly until Ärzte-LPs start to be censored, as they will not go into a monstrous machine like they are intended to.
